Andre Lotterer is having a pretty great month. A little over a week ago, the German racecar driver and the two teammates he shares a Porsche 963 Hypercar with nailed down the 2025 FIA WEC driver’s championship. Less than a week later, he’s posting first photos of his new 2025 Porsche 911 S/T. Not surprisingly, it’s an excellent specification.
Racing fans are likely already familiar with Lotterer. He began his sportscar career at Audi Sport before migrating to Porsche for Formula E and later the 963 Hypercar program. And though he’s relinquishing his 963 seat at the end of the season, he remains one of the top sportscar drivers in the world.
Lotterer also has exceptional automotive taste. He’s a longtime collector, often choosing cars built by the manufacturers he races. This has included an Audi Sport quattro, two 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, a Carrera GT (that he drove to the dealer for delivery of his S/T), and also an uber rare 964 3.8 RS. He’s got more, but those are the ones worth highlighting for this story.
Beyond the car habit, he also enjoys photography. As a result, his Instagram account is a worthy follow and his cars (including the new S/T) are regularly seen, often photographed in his home town of Monaco.
Lotterer shared details of his special build when he posted these photos to Instagram. He shares that it’s Paint to Sample Malachite Green (malachitgrünmetallic; metallic UNI; 2B5; Porsche) paired with custom green interior specified via Sonderwunsch. From the photos, it also looks like it’s got his name on the sills, making it extra cool given its timing of arrival along with his championship title.
If you’re a super aficionado of Porsche Sonderwunsch and seeking something highly unique, we think this 2024 Porsche 911 Turbo out of Dubai and going up for auction by RM Sotheby’s should definitely grab your attention. The car was conceptualized as a tribute to Louise Piëch’s 1974 911 Turbo prototype with distinctive tartan seats and matching tartan graphics that’s a regular fixture at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart. The car is the result of a collaboration between Style Porsche, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, Porsche Middle East and Africa FZE, intended as a showcase of the wide capabilities of Porsche’s Sonderwunsch special wishes program.
The base car is painted GT Silver (gtsilbermetallic; metallic UNI; M7Z / U2; Porsche), including custom exterior decals matching an interior fitted with two-tone Lipstick Red and black with red and blue tartan fabric trim.
Below is the full item description provided by RM Sotheby’s. Below that is a full gallery of the car. Check out more information HERE.

Porsche lined up a particularly special 70th birthday present for Louise Piëch, daughter of company founder Ferdinand Porsche. To mark the occasion, on 29 August 1974, the factory gifted her a 911 Turbo prototype (chassis 9115600042). Even more special, this example of the first road-going 911 to feature forced induction was quite different from the final model that would enter production the following year. For starters, it was based around a narrow Carrera chassis rather than gaining the full-fat Turbo’s eventual and distinctive wide stance. In addition, a turbocharged 2.7-litre flat-six was initially installed rather than a 3-litre powerplant, plus the tachometer showed an ambitious red line of 10,000 rpm.
Finished in silver over a tartan interior, as chosen by Mrs Piëch, the prototype was completed at the Zuffenhausen factory on 17 July 1974. She evidently enjoyed driving “911 Turbo No. 1” greatly. Upon handing the car over to the Porsche Museum four years later, the odometer recorded nearly 32,000 kilometres from Mrs Piëch’s touring of continental motorways.
With 2024 marking 50 years since the original 930-generation 911 Turbo was revealed to the public at the Paris Motor Show in October 1974, Porsche fittingly commissioned the one-off ‘911 Turbo Exclusive Manufaktur’ offered here. Presented in GT Silver, this car is a loving modern-day interpretation of Mrs Piëch’s personal prototype. The stunning homage comes as a result of a collaboration between Style Porsche, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, and Porsche Middle East and Africa FZE in an exercise showcasing the Sonderwunsch request program, which provides bespoke customisation services to create unique special editions.
Unveiled at the Icons of Porsche festival held in Dubai in November 2023, this car is fitted with a host of Exclusive Manufaktur options. These include the Sport Design Package, which notably adds upturned tips for the rear wing, more pronounced side sills, and an aggressive restyling of the extended front bumper. Meanwhile, the side strakes and mirrors are painted to match the body colour. To authentically recreate the look of Mrs Piëch’s 1974 prototype, Style Porsche designers in Weissach have added the Austrian autobahn decal on the right-front wing. Porsche Classic also provided special permission for the script from the first-ever production 911 Turbo to be reused for the rear badge. The exterior configuration is capped off by black five-spoke wheels that hark back to the famous Fuchs alloy design.
With the Heritage Design Classic package selected, the interior features retro-style green illuminated dials for the tachometer and Sport Chrono dial. The upholstery for the remastered Turbo compromises two-tone Lipstick Red and black, while the seat centres and door cards are trimmed with red and blue tartan trim just as Mrs Piëch originally requested. Like the rear badging, the seats are capped off with original Turbo lettering embroidered into the headrest.
While the appearance is a clear tribute to Porsche’s past, the dynamics are at the leading edge. As a 992-generation 911 Turbo, the car boasts a 3,745-cc six-cylinder boxer engine enhanced by symmetrical turbochargers to deliver 580 PS. With that power transmitted to all four wheels via an eight-speed PDK transmission featuring an aluminium gear selector, the sprint to 100 km/h takes just 2.8 seconds while the top speed is 320 km/h. That considerable performance is accessed by unlocking the car with a bespoke dual-finish key that features the tartan pattern and GT Silver colours.
Registered in the United Arab Emirates and showing delivery use only, with the odometer displaying just 35 kilometres at the time of cataloguing, the sale of this 911 Turbo ‘Exclusive Manufaktur’ is particularly special. A seldom-offered opportunity to become the first owner of a one-off Porsche that celebrates 50 years of the manufacturer’s forced-induction flagship, here is an opportunity for marque enthusiasts and supercar collectors alike that’s not to be missed.
SUMMARY: Some say Porsche’s non-metallic Brewster Green (brewstergrün; nonmetallic UNI; 22B; Porsche) is Stuttgart’s take on British Racing Green. However, we’d suggest it’s just another shade by Stuttgart of England’s original national racing color. Where Irish Green goes just a bight lighter than a lot of traditional British Racing Greens, Brewster Green goes a bit darker. In lower light it can sometimes even look black, though under direct light the green hue and the relationship to the British national racing color is undeniable.
Brewster Green was a favorite of Ferdinand “Ferry” Porsche and other Porsche family members like Wolfgang Porsche for their own personal cars. As a result, it’s been a popular choice over the years, occasionally offered as a standard color and regularly chosen for Paint to Sample specifications.
SUMMARY: The term “icon” may be loaded. For starters, the word itself is used far too often, in a way that waters down the value of the label. And, in the case of a truly iconic color such as Gulf Blue (gulfblau; non-metallic / non-metallic UNI; 328; Porsche), the color also tends to get over-used by Paint to Sample clients seeking the obvious Porsche motorsport heritage play. And what a play it is.
Gulf Blue gets is name from the petroleum company bearing its name. Gulf Oil has been a longtime sponsor of racing. Its trademark livery with its blue and orange color schemes have adorned race cars from far more brands than simply Porsche. Lore suggests Gulf colors used as racing livery began in 1967, with the brand’s first major win at the 24 Hours of Le Mans painted to a Ford GT40 a year later in 1968, and then again in 1969. For 1970, Gulf shifted to Porsche and adorned the 917K. That same year, Steve McQueen and his Solar Productions crew showed up in Le Mans to film the movie by the same name Le Mans. The latter catapulted the blue and orange into the consciousness of automobile and racing fans around the world, and it kicked off a long association between Gulf and Porsche.
Gulf Blue is a non-metallic light blue, almost a powder blue and not far off from what American college football fans would call a Carolina Blue. It’s quite common in the Paint to Sample Porsche space, and often paired with other race livery colors such as navy blue and orange (a.k.a. Gulf Orange, but that’s a color for another Color Focus).
There are a lot of things we wonder when we see a car like this 2024 Porsche 911 Turbo S (Vin: WPOAD2A93RS253171) come onto the market. First and foremost, how could you order such a car with thoughtful Paint to Sample color choice of Brewster Green (brewstergrün; nonmetallic UNI; 22B; Porsche) and only log 300 miles. It seems like a travesty to have a car like this and not drive it, but maybe that indicates a flip. Whatever the case, it’s a good problem to have.
Here’s what we know about the color. Brewster Green is a non-metallic dark green, well darker than a British Racing Green. According to sites like Color.RS, Brewster Green may be one of the oldest car paint colors on record having been apparently offered as far back as 1909 on the Ford Model T.
In the Porsche world, Brewster Green also has long-held significance. Ferry Porsche himself had a practice of specifying his company cars painted in one of a select number of green paint colors including Oak Green Metallic, Olive Green, Emerald Green Metallic, and of course Brewster Green. This tradition has been continued by Dr Wolfgang Porsche to this day, with numerous examples in his private collection painted in the same colors his father favored in those very early days of the brand.
Here’s what we know about this car for sale. It’s basically new and currently in inventory at Porsche San Luis Obispo, asking price $329,888. We’re going to give the dealer credit for making sure the Paint to Sample color is listed and searchable both on their site and AutoTrader where we first found it, but are less enthusiastic about the photos – direct sun and looking high in the front. Given we’re looking to show off unique colors and specifications on this site, we just wish dealers of luxury and exotic cars in general spent more time making them look incredible in photography.
Off our rant and back to the car, you can find a full specification for it HERE. Interestingly, given it’s a Turbo S and not a GT3 or the like, this Brewster Green coupe has sport cloth interior that embraces the more sporting side of its S designation. That’s a bold choice for whomever ordered the car given the quickness of the turnover, but hey… so was Brewster Green. We hope a total enthusiast sees the value and snaps it up.
Porsche is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the 911 Turbo this year, and 000 Magazine is doing the same this coming weekend with their Turbo 50 celebration at Summit Skywalker Ranch. Given that, it’s worth celebrating this X Blue 911 Turbo S owned by Drew Coblitz, purchased through Porsche Main Line. It is reportedly the first delivered 911 Turbo S “000 Commission” and was recently detailed more specifically by @PTSRS.
Given all that, let’s dig into the details. For starters, the X Blue (xblau; non-metallic UNI; Z91; Porsche)color is Paint to Sample and non-metallic. This blue is a modern blue formulation created for the 911 (992.1) Belgian Legends Edition created in 2020 to honor Jacky Ickx 75th birthday. It’s a solid blue that is reportedly darker than Dark Sea Blue and is offered on the 911 and Taycan. Given the Ickx association, it’s quite likely it also harks the dark blue of Rothman’s Racing liveries his Porsches wore in races such as the Paris-Dakar Rally or 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Side Note:@PTSRS has an interesting indexing format for paints seen here (name; type; code), and we’re going to adopt that with the addition of brand (name; type; code; brand) since we cover more than just Porsche. The intention is to adopt more universal standardization of paint code identity when we know the code and type. In this case, it’s (xblau; non-metallic UNI; Z91; Porsche).
Back to the 000 Commission specification, it’s based on an “off the menu” mix created to be built in conjunction with the a 911 Turbo S with factory Lightweight Package. From there, special wishes details were chosen along a theme celebrating David Donner‘s victory at the 100th Pike’s Peak International Hill Climb. In that race, Donner’s 9 minutes 53 second record run was performed in a 000 Magazine liveried 911 Turbo S #000. A creative mix of details and easter eggs thanks to ample deployment of Sonderwunsch services complete the specification.
@PTSRS inventories the Sonderwunsch details as such:
Laser-etched “000” on Front Bumper Grille as on Pikes Peak Winner
Exterior Mirrors in Carmine Red as on Pikes Peak Winner
“Peak 100” Logo Decals on Doors
000 Decal under Rear Wing as on Pikes Peak Winner
Illuminated Door-Sill Guards in Matte Carbon with 000 Logo
Center Armrest embossed with Pikes Peak course map and “9:53”
Custom Dashboard Inlay denoting #000 911 Turbo S’s Class Win and PPIHC Certified Course Time
Derpy in the Fuel Cap
For a client to order an “000 Commission”, they must build from a 911 Turbo S Coupe allocation, adding the Lightweight Package, Full Bucket Seats or 18-way Sport Seats Plus, 20/21-inch 911 Turbo S Exclusive Design wheels, Wheel Inlays Painted High Gloss Black and Calipers in High Gloss Black.
From there, they can coordinate with their Porsche dealer to create a Sonderwunsch order with the factory. And while the “000 Commission” can be ordered on any color 911 Turbo S so-fitted, they’ll also need a Paint to Sample allocation if they wish to do special paint like the Coblitz X Blue car.
Before the current generation of Boxster/718, Porsche’s entry level sports car struggled to gain respect. Considered simply a Porsche for folks who couldn’t afford a 911, the Boxster was a bit underpowered and was in most trims outclassed by it’s competitors during magazine shootouts of the day. I suppose it’s without too much shock then, that we can say PTS on early Boxster or Cayman models is fairly rare.
Finished in Paint to Sample Mexico Blue, this 2007 Porsche Boxster S (VIN: WP0CB29887U731094) has covered just 18,613 miles since leaving Porsche Rocklin some 17 years ago. That’s a shame, because Paint to Sample Mexico blue paired with Cocoa Brown extended leather is quite the head turner. Understandably the car appears to be in quite good condition having never really been used, but the slightly lower stance suggests each trip was a spirited one.
This Paint to Sample Porsche Boxster S is currently on offer by our friends at Gran Prix Motors in Portland, Oregon for an asking price of $39,900. Get all the details on this Tailored Driver, here.
The 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe you see here isn’t just a sublime and interesting color, it’s also a qualified specimen to exemplify the extent at which one could tailor order a 911 Turbo directly from Porsche. Even better, it is so tastefully built in paint-to-sample Racing Green Metallic (racinggrünmetallic; metallic UNI; Y68; Porsche) with an Exclusive Manufaktur interior in Slate Grey.
This 8K-mile 911 Turbo S Coupe (VIN WP0AD2A95NS255837) left the factory with approximately $71,000 in options and upgrades, including SportDesign Package, the aforementioned Paint to Sample Racing Green bodywork and Exclusiv Manufaktur interior with adaptive Sport Plus seats in Slate Grey leather, Burmeister audio, Sport Chrono Package and additional leather and stitching everywhere you can imagine.
Not to be confused with Racing Green Metallic of the 997 era (22G), this Turbo’s Racing Green Metallic (Y68) is more commonly applied as of late, and appears to be either matching or heavily influenced by the current Racing Green utilized by Aston Martin in motorsport activities today, itself influenced by the metallic green on the Aston Martin Carroll Shelby and Roy Salvadori piloted to victory in the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Other equipment includes PDK dual clutch transmission, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes, center-locking 20-inch and 21-inch Turbo S wheels, an Akrapovìc exhaust, front axle lift system, power steering plus and more.

As with all Porsche models wearing the RS badge, the Porsche GT4 RS is no slouch in standard trim. And for those who like to tinker, it proves one hell of a starting point. Enter Manthey Racing, diverting some attention from running GT works competition for Porsche Motorsport, to offer their hyper-focused expertise via Porsche Techquipment for GT4 RS owners.
This particular example (VIN: WP0AE2A85RK274334) is what we’d call peak spec- Paint to Sample Nato Olive paint, contrasting yellow seat belts, door pulls, and model script, wheels finished in gold, and the Weissach Package. To further sharpen the knife, Manthey contributes revised aero, bespoke coil over suspension, and stainless steel brake lines among numerous other touches.
Currently on offer at the legendary Champion Porsche in Pompano Beach, Florida for an asking price of $304,900, this Paint to Sample Nato Olive Porsche GT4 RS Manthey Racing has covered just 82 miles since new, making us think it’s served as a promotional piece. We can only hope the next owner gets a bit more enjoyment out of their investment.

While we could opine as to why exactly Porsche’s Macan seems to be the least ran when it comes to their Paint to Sample program despite being one of their ‘volume’ models, we’d prefer to take the middle ground and simply call it a shame. We’re fans of the Porsche Macan for a number of reasons, and one of our founders uses his for daily duty with great pleasure. So when a Macan pops on our radar having been graced by the Paint to Sample treatment, we’re happy to feature it here on Tailored Driver.
This particular Paint to Sample Speed Yellow Porsche Macan (VIN: WP1AA2A54RLB04475) provides a striking contrast from the grey, white, or black examples we usually see. One has to wonder if it was ordered as a companion piece to a different Speed Yellow Porsche in the original Tailor’s fleet- perhaps an older 911, or maybe even a 968 Clubsport.
Having covered just 7,744 miles and being a 2024 model year, it’s clear however that this was more of a Macan for the moment as opposed to a tenured companion. With the all-new EV Macan making it’s way through US dealers, we sure hope the replacement for this Tailored Driver shares an equally bold hue. Find more information about this Paint to Sample Speed Yellow Porsche Macan on Porsche Santa Clarita’s website, here.
