    Market Find: 2023 Porsche Paint to Sample Racing Green Taycan GTS Sport Turismo

    In recent months it seems Aston Martin’s Racing Green is just as common on Porsche models as it is on Astons. Potentially a result of sheer volume, but we frankly dig the color and if you squint hard enough, you can see a clear parallel between Racing Green (racinggrünmetallic; metallic UNI; Y68; Porsche) and Porsche’s Wimbeldon Green which was commonly found on the 964-era 911. Call it a win-win.

    Found on Bring a Trailer, this 2023 Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo (VIN: WP0CD2Y16PSA90170) features the aforementioned Racing Green paint to sample finish (Color Code: Y68) over Chalk leather, resulting an incredibly handsome combination.

  • Market Find: Paint to Sample Racing Green Metallic 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe

    Market Find: Paint to Sample Racing Green Metallic 2022 Porsche 911 Turbo S Coupe

    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.
