    Market Find: Paint to Sample Slate Grey 911 Turbo S

    Slate Grey first popped on my radar when a former employer ordered a then-new 2015 Porsche 991 Turbo S in “the Steve McQueen color.” Variants of Grey were fairly hot back in 2015 thanks to Lamborghini’s Grigio Telesto and Audi’s Nardo Grey, and McQueen’s Slate Grey 930 was being prepped for auction in Monterey, so the choice was timely.

    Positioned firmly on the ‘subtle’ side of the Tailored spectrum, Slate Grey proves itself to be fairly dynamic in the right lighting. For it’s future owner, we recommend heading straight to Mulholland where the color, and the connection to McQueen himself can be brought full circle.

    This PTS Slate Grey 991 Turbo S is currently offered on AutoTrader for $174,900. Check out the full listing, here.

    Market Find: Porsche Paint to Sample Arena Red 997.2 Turbo S

    Made famous in the Kills Bugs Fast adverts of the mid 90s, images of Arena Red 993 generation 911s were on the walls of many admirers around the world. With this Turbo S having covered a scant 7,400 miles since new, we’d assume more than a few of the aforementioned images have higher miles as well.

    Does the color stand the test of time? Yeah, we’d say so. Being sold by a private individual in Michigan who’s managed just 3,000 (nearly half!) of those miles over the past eight years of ownership, this top-tier Tailored Driver can be found on AutoTrader for $144,000.
