    While it’s not the first Maritime Macan GTS we’ve featured, there’s just something about pairing this classic Porsche blue with the brand’s volume leader. This particular example is newer, has fewer miles, and has more desirable options- which is to say it’s also more expensive. At $87k it may not fit into the ‘budget’ category, but for practical performance that can be used year round in all climates we aren’t sure you can do much better.

    One of our favorite current Porsche models in one of our favorite all-time Porsche Paint to Sample hues? Well alrighty then. The Macan GTS has been praised here before, and our Head of Social calls upon his for daily driver duties. In fact, it’s likely only a matter of time until we add another to the fleet, and we can only hope that second Macan GTS is this cool. Maritime’s history was covered here, and while the 964 Carrera RS is a better home for the color, we think this is an incredible way to stand out in the School pick-up line.

    When it rains it pours, and this week Macan is in the forecast. This Tailored Driver is checking all the right boxes for us- GTS variant, Paint to Sample Brewster Green, low miles, great price. For roughly the price of a new GTI, you can be the next steward of this 360hp crossover, and you’re guaranteed to have a hell of a lot more fun. Run- don’t walk- to Evanston, Illinois and pick this up before we do.

    Thanks to Lenny for the tip!

    Why we love it:

    A modern Porsche, in Paint to Sample Graphite Blue Metallic, for $32k. Say what you will, but that’s a compelling statement. Graphite Blue Metallic was one of the more interesting standard colors from the 991 generation of Porsche’s 911, appearing nearly Nardo Grey at first glance, but with just enough cyan to have a clear differentiation. Applied here to a Macan GTS, it’s subtle enough to not require a card carrying extrovert as owner, but certainly will stand out from the other Macans you see around town. We’d happily add this to our stable as a daily.

  • Porsche Paint to Sample British Racing Green Porsche Macan GTS – Filmed

    Porsche Paint to Sample British Racing Green Porsche Macan GTS – Filmed

    Colors are dynamic and full of depth, influenced significantly by lighting. While pictures can serve as a useful reference, they can’t capture the full spectrum of color. Beyond the naked eye, video offers the next best way to appreciate the true nuances of color.

    Urban Werks has recently posted a new video on their YouTube channel featuring a PTS British Racing Green Macan GTS. UW is known as the premier detail shop in Lancaster, PA, focused on vehicle protection and detailing. While they work on any vehicle make or model, a lot of their clientele tends to be higher-end, bringing in cars like this. After applying full-body PPF (a great idea for a color like this) and ceramic coating, the team also lowered the car using lowering links and installed wheel spacers to give the GTS a more aggressive stance.
