    Market Find: CXX Noto Green Extended Leather Porsche GT3 RS Weissach

    While wild colors may be much more prevalent due to a comparatively low cost and bigger effect, this is the kind of Tailored Driver that really gets us excited. The exterior of this Porsche 911 GT3 RS with Weissach Package (VIN:  WP0AF2A95KS165691)? It’s non-metallic black, a $0 option. Nothing to see here, keep moving along. But it’s what is going on inside that is reason for fixation.

    There you’ll see $49,000 in CXX or Special Wishes tailoring, nearly every available surface covered in incredibly cool Noto Green leather. Currently on offer by Cabiglio Garage on Bring a Trailer showing just 2,500 miles, this GT3 RS carried an original MSRP of $301,760, representing what just may be the highest sticker’d (before Dealer markup) example sold stateside. While we’re speculating, we’ll also mention the reputation of the seller, known for marketing vehicles on behalf of Jerry Seinfeld, Spike Feresten Tom Hanks, and Paul Bettany. That fact, paired with the Santa Monica airport as image backdrop, means this may have been originally owned by a notable heavy-hitter in the LA car scene.

    If you’re interested, better get your finances in order fast. The auction for this Tailored Driver ends this afternoon, and could break the $450,000 mark. Get all the details for this Porsche 911 GT3 RS Weissach, here.

  • Color Check: Purple Sky Metallic Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package

    Color Check: Purple Sky Metallic Porsche Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach Package

    Back in July, Porsche shared PR images of the Taycan Turbo GT rocking the Weissach Package, presented in Purple Sky Metallic (not to be confused with Prince’s “Purple Rain,” but we can see the connection), and boy, is this a wild color.

    A few months later, we got to see it in person at the Quail Events during Monterey Car Week 2024. Purple Sky Metallic seems to be a new color for Porsche, as we haven’t seen it before on any other model. How would we describe it? Majestic, unicorn-like, dynamic, and, of course, very purple. Lighting certainly has an effect on this shade of purple, as the color can shift from a bright purple to a dark blue.

    Although Purple Sky Metallic is not a PTS color, Porsche lists it as a “Dreams” color when you’re ordering your Taycan Turbo GT with the Weissach Package. If you’re not going PTS, this would be the way to go.
