    As frequent visitors have learned- we’re massive fans of the 997-generation 911. The right size, modern (enough) tech, and still hints of that analog driving experience, the 997 also had the benefit of being the real start of Porsche’s endless variant strategy and proliferation of Paint to Sample. This particular 997 in Paint to Sample Speed Yellow has another big thing going for it, being a Speedster. Consider it an unexpected must-have for the 911 collector who already has the numerous ‘traditional’ GT models, awaiting its next steward.

  • Gunther Werks Thinks Pink with Latest Mystique Commission Porsche 993 Speedster

    Gunther Werks Thinks Pink with Latest Mystique Commission Porsche 993 Speedster

    Porsche 993 re-imagineer Gunther Werks has revealed their latest commission, and it plays upon Weissach’s pink heritage. Painted Paint to Sample Amethyst, the Mystique Commission boats bespoke touches throughout its widebody 993 Speedster form.

    As a color, Amethyst is a two-stage metallic paint described as having intense travel in direct sunlight, with rich choma in darker light.

    Given it is a Speedster, the client who commissioned Mystique also requested an exposed carbon fiber stripe with body color pinstripe. The Amethyst and carbon theme carries into the cabin as well.
