    Looking for an EV to match your 991-era GT3 RS in Porsche Ultra Violet? Okay, that may be an obscure ask, so we’ll put it a different way. Looking for an affordable EV daily driver with highly unique paint color? This Audi exclusive e-tron in Porsche Ultra Violet may fit the bill.

    We do note what looks like a few visual modifications – nothing extreme, but something factory original fixators may want to revisit. Not the gold vertical struts on the grille and also what looks like a gold stripe along the side sill. An e-tron would have orange/gold coloring on the e-tron badge found on the quarter panels that is stock however.

    Special thanks to the always resourceful braintrust that is our Audi exclusive Classifieds Group on Facebook. Thanks for the tip Anthony Vito and credit for confirming the car was originally sold through Audi Beverly Hills (because of course) Kathleen Jane.

  • Is this Violet / Rubystar S/T the Definition of Aquired Taste?

    Is this Violet / Rubystar S/T the Definition of Aquired Taste?

    Porsche Centre North Toronto made waves this week when they shard photos of a recent 911 S/T arrival in their showroom. Specced by Marty @OneMan1138, this S/T is laden with Sonderwunsch special wishes touches in a way that’s highly attention-grabbing and likely also polarizing.

    The basic specs provided by Porsche Centre North Toronto are these. The car includes 44 bespoke options, including most obviously the color scheme in Ultra Violet, Ruby Star Classic and Racing Yellow. As you can see from inside shots, the interior follows along on the colors and the theme.

    First up, Porsche Ultra Violet (ultraviolett; non-metallic UNI; M4A / G7; Porsche) is a 911 GT3 RS color from the 991 era. Ruby Star Classic a.k.a. Rubystone Red (sternrubin; non-metallic UNI; 82N; Porsche) is effectively a hot pink that was a 964-era Carrera Cup color that has remained a cult classic since its inception. The two together are an interesting pair in their own right, though throw in Racing Yellow (renngelb; non-metallic UNI; 1S1 / P3; Porsche) and the net effect goes so much further.

    The car, known as “ONEMAN”, isn’t for sale. We’re classifying it in our Market Find – Acquired Taste section in addition to color check because it is such an opinion-generating build. Congratulations to Marty on the new S/T. We hope it’s everything you expected, and it is truly unforgettable.
