What: 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Color: Coppa Florio Blue (coppaflorioblau; non-metallic UNI; 360; Porsche) VIN: WP0AF2A92RS273308 Mileage: 22 miles Price Estimate: $568,950 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: See Gallery Location: Marshall Goldman, Beverly Hills, CA Listing:Link
Here’s a deep cut and tasteful spec 911 GT3 RS with plenty of Sonderwunsch touches and virtually no miles in case you wanted to skip the game of getting an allotment and waiting on your own build. If we were going to skip such a line and able to pay the premium, this car certainly qualifies as short list material.
Coppa Florio is also known as Polar Blue. Though close to Gulf Blue, it’s not the same thing. The hue is slightly different, but more importantly this color is exceedingly rare versus Gulf Blue that remains one of the most popular PTS blues because of its Gulf Racing heritage tie.
Coppa Florio was a 911/912 color from the late 1970s. The wheels of this Weissach Package build are color-matched in the same Coppa Florio hue. More uniquely, and incredibly well matched, the standard Weissach Package carbon has been tinted blue in most excellent effect – a line item that is highly uncommon and cost $28,140 alone. Add to that carbon ceramic brakes, LED Matrix headlights, Exclusive Design taillights, front axle lift, deviated stitching blue, additional leather Race-Tex… the list goes on and on.
Shade Green Metallic is a standard color for Porsche 911 S/T, though we’d argue that even the most basic paint on such a highly exclusive car shouldn’t disqualify our posting it on here.
Interestingly, Porsche forced a one-year lease on the 911 S/T that effectively discouraged flip resales… at least for a year.
Has it been a year already since these cars came out? Time flies. Whatever the case, you can now pick one up in one of our favorite modern standard Porsche colors. Check it out via the link.
What: 2024 BMW M3 Competition Color: BMW Individual Wildberry Metallic(metallic UNI; T09; BMW) VIN: WBS43AY06RFR72756 Mileage: 22,138 miles Price at Time of this Writing: $96,000 CarFax:Link Location: Federal Way, WA Auction listing:West State Motorsport
In our minds, BMW Individual’s Wildberry Metallic is just about as good as it gets. Not too serious, yet absolutely sinister, it’s a juxtaposition that works incredibly well on M cars across the Tailored spectrum. And while this is an incredibly attractive hue, we do wonder if pairing it with Fiona Red interior was the move. Generally speaking, we like to pick a lane- either the outside is loud, or the inside is loud. The M3 Competition doesn’t exactly follow that ethos, which to be fair is not everyone’s cup of tea. So it begs the question, is this $96,000 M3 a 10 out of 10 or will you wait for the next Wildberry?
What: 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Color: Guards Red (guardsrot; non-metallic UNI; 84A / 027 / G1 / 80K / M3A / L80K; Porsche) and White (weiss; non-metallic UNI; C9A; Porsche) VIN: WP0AF2A95RS272296 Mileage: undisclosed Value: Sealed Bid, Value in Excess of $500,00 US CarFax: N//A Location: Pickering, ON, Candada Auction listing:RM Sotheby’s
If you have an affinity for both factory one-of-one creations and Canada, you won’t want to miss this 2024 911 GT3 RS. Unveiled at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show, this one-of-a-kind Sonderwunsch special was built by Porsche Canada to celebrate the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto (PECTO).
Obviously, an official Porsche importer wasn’t going to fall short on the details when it came to such a special build, and the so-called “PECTO GT3 RS” received options totaling $415,375 CAD. These included two-tone paint with special Guards Red and White Canada-themed livery, special red and black pepita fabric and countless other details like logos and even a one-off Porsche Design Chronograph.
The car is listed for sale directly from Porsche Cars Canada, with a percentage of the proceeds going to charity. In addition to the car and the aforementioned watch, the sale also includes a scale model of the car and a driving experience at Porsche Experience Centre Toronto.
Given the depth of details, we’re going to copy and paste the full description of the car here for the record, though if you’re interested in checking out more on the car and bidding on its sealed bid sale, click through the link above in order to do so.
Lot Description[source: RM Sotheby’s]
Designed specifically by Porsche Cars Canada alongside Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur department to announce the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto, RM Sotheby’s, a company founded and headquartered in Canada, is proud to offer this sensational 911 GT3 RS on behalf of Porsche Cars Canada.
Built to announce the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto and unveiled at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, this car is a stunning showcase of the abilities of the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur “Sonderwunsch” (special wishes) program to design and create automobiles that are unique in every aspect.
Undeniably Canadian from every angle, the livery on the PECTO GT3 RS is a homage to the Canadian flag utilizing Porsche’s own shades of Guards Red and White and showcases fanatical attention to detail. The offset exterior color split is delineated by the location of the steering wheel’s 12 o’clock marker, with each side of the car boasting deviated accent colors from the main exterior color apparent on that respective side, including the GT3 RS side graphics, maple leaf painted on the roof, the outer lips of the black forged magnesium wheels, maple leaf painted on the centerlocks, Porsche script underneath the rear wing, and the PECTO logo on either side of the rear wing.
The theme carries through to the GT3 RS’ interior with Pepita inserts on the seat centers and door cards in deviating red and white, red and white contrast stitching on the doors, red and white pass-throughs on the carbon fiber bucket seats, PECTO logos on the headrests, alongside Guards Red seat belts and the chrono stopwatch dial and tachometer in white. Replacing the usual ‘GT3 RS’ script on the illuminated doorsills is an outline of the Toronto skyline, illuminated in red and white.
In addition to the car’s incredible color scheme, the PECTO GT3 RS remains exceptionally well-optioned including the Weissach package, 90-liter fuel tank, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes with calipers in Gloss Black, front axle lift, preparation for Porsche dashcam, passenger footwell mounted fire extinguisher, LED-Matrix Design headlights in black, Exclusive Design taillights, Bose Surround Sound system, automatic dimming mirrors with integrated rain sensor, pedals and footrest in aluminum, and traffic sign recognition.
Since the car’s unveiling at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, the PECTO GT3 RS has traveled around Canada to a handful of different Porsche Centres and has now returned to the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto, where it will be on display until the conclusion of the auction. In addition to the car itself, the winning bidder will receive a scale model of the car, a one-off Porsche Design Chronograph, as well as a driving experience at the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto.
Finally, Porsche Cars Canada has elected that any amount over the PECTO GT3 RS’ reserve price will be donated to Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium), a charity that has brought healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families since 1983. Through in-hospital, community, and overnight camp programs, the organization creates opportunities for children to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. By providing play-based experiences, they empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis. Visit www.campfirecircle.org for more information.
Some six decades since the official importation of the first 356 to Canada in 1961, the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto showcases the continuing strength of the Canadian market for Porsche, all while offering Canadian customers an exciting new way to interact with the brand. The PECTO GT3 RS is the embodiment of that Canadian passion for Porsche and a brilliant showcase of the abilities of the Sonderwunsch program, making for a truly Canadian GT3 RS unlike any other.
What: 2024 BMW X6M Color: BMW Individual Isle of Man Green (Isle of Man grün; metallic UNI; C4G; BMW) VIN: 5YM23ET04R9T33164 Mileage: 16,892 Price at Time of this Writing: $114,300 CarFax: N/A Window Sticker: Pictured below Location: Ultimo Motors, Northbrook, IL Dealer listing:Link
There’s something about a low mile and recent year tailored build from a top luxury manufacturer. Letting someone else pay the premium to make something spectacular is a great way to get a shrewd price on a modern offering, and we think this Isle of Man Green X6M fits the bill.
Inside, is a handsome and equally tailored cockpit. The main leather color is BMW Individual Ivory White, contrasted with Atlas Grey – a $3,500 option when ordered new.
What: 2024 BMW X5 M Competition Color: BMW Individual Santorini Blue(santorinblauii; non-metallic uni; 327; BMW) VIN: 5YM13ET06R9S32784 Mileage: 9,000 miles Price: $119,990 CarFax: Link Window Sticker: N/A Location: Ridgefield, CT Listing: BMW of Ridgefield
When seeking out new Tailored Drivers for feature on this site, there are few better phrases than “Corporate Fleet Vehicle.” While some could dismiss that as a rare form of abuse by jaded OEM employees, we see it as the opportunity to get into something taken to new heights by those internal folks who had a chance to spec a vehicle without finance asking about take-rates and forcasting depreciation. This $141k sticker X5 M Competition is just that- fresh from 9,000 internal-use miles wearing the stunning Santorini Blue paired with Taruma Brown seats. Found currently at BMW of Ridgefield, Connecticut, we think this would be a great way to check the family hauler box in a hypothetical 3 car solution game.
What: 2024 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo Color: Paint to Sample Black Olive (schwarzolive; non-metallic UNI; 2A7; Porsche) VIN: WP0CD2Y1XRSA84035 Mileage: 4,055 miles Price: $136,990 CarFax: N/A Location: Car Concierge, Alpharetta, GA Dealer listing:Link
There’s a term “buy it built”. The idea is to let someone else build a car that you then swoop in and purchase once it’s resold as cars inevitably do. Case in point is this Taycan GTS Sport Turismo, ordered in a very unique specification, slightly modified and now for sale with not even 5,000 miles on the odometer.
The build itself from Porsche is Paint to Sample Nato Olive paired with Olea Club Leather in Truffle Brown. That’s already handsome, and is said to have run $167,200 on the original window sticker.
In addition to that, the car also has PPF and a ceramic window tint in order to help protect it. Also, it’s got a supposedly one-off set of ANRKY wheels with color-matched accents. And while an aftermarket wheel set might be hit or miss in the tailored market space, these are worth noting for their rear turbofan look that seems to mimic the Manthey Racing look being applied to many Porsche GT cars.
What: 2024 Ferrari 296 GTS Color:Verde Medio(verdemedio; metallic UNI; 19400 M; Ferrari) VIN: ZFF01SMA6R0300684 Mileage: 41 Price: $485,611 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: N/A Location: Ferrari San Diego, San Diego, CA Listing:Ferrari San Diego
Unexpected and tasteful may be the perfect storm when it comes to a fine tailored car. Take this 2024 Ferrari 296 GTS that’s in stock at Ferrari San Diego. Though a Ferrari color, Verde Medio Metallic is a medium green not far off from Aston Martin Racing Green.
Okay, perhaps a 296 GTS, even one costing $485,611 may be a bit less legendary than the three cars listed above, but this is still a phenomenal specification. Verde Medio looks amazing with the light Pelle Bianco leather. The whole car look just works, so we dedicate a golf clap to whomever created the specification… and we’re left scratching our head how one might add such a car to their garage and only log 41 miles. Whatever, that’s more miles for the next owner I suppose.
Not exactly one that rolls off the tongue, but as Juliet once told Romeo- what’s in a name? In this case, measuring a generous 24 characters spread over 7 syllables, quite a lot actually. Fish Silvergrey Metallic was added to Porsche’s Paint to Sample program in 2023, and meshes the aforementioned silvergrey with a tasteful hint of green. Nearly chromaflair-lite in execution and cost, Fish Silvergrey Metallic as seen here is quietly making a serious case for itself in the world of Tailored Driver.
What: 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Color: Porsche Paint to Sample Albert Blue (albertblau; 325 / 1818 / 387; Porsche) VIN: WP0AF2A99RS272818 Mileage: 1,420 Miles Price: $441,888 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: N/A Location: San Luis Obispo, CA Listing:Porsche San Luis Obispo
Paint to Sample Albert Blue is an interesting color choice for a 911 GT3 RS – a color from Porsche’s rich heritage that’s somewhat subdued for such an in-your-face car as a GT3 RS. Pair it with red graphics though (not to mention carbon fiber laden Weissach Package) and the overall look becomes decidedly more bold.
One hard-to-miss element of this build is the matching blue and red tartan fabric on the seats. We’ve not seen this pattern before offered by Porsche, and the listing makes no mention of Sonderwunsch touches, fabric, tartan or plaid. That said, there are plenty of companies out there specializing in making replacement seat centers for Porsche’s carbon buckets where their modularity in construction allow for additional special touches that can take on a factory installed appearance. This may be that – handsome, but perhaps not factory and something you may want to verify if that is important to you.
