A very interesting car at a very iconic dealership, this Paint to Sample Dolphin Grey Porsche 911 Sport Classic at Isringhausen was originally ordered as part of the White Collection. It was later sold by RM Sotheby’s during Monterey Car Week in 2024.
Number 923 of 1,250 992-generation Sport Classics built, the car features no less than $152, 785 in Sonderwunsch tailoring alone. Some of that most excellent spec includes Heritage Design interior with Extended Sanguine Red Leather, color-matched Dolphin Grey liberally applied to the wheels and other exterior components, and of course a manual transmission.

While it’s not “refrigerator white”, Porsche Grand Prix white is still just white. That’s not a bad thing, but it’s hardly qualifies as “tailored”. A Paint to Sample oddball this car is not, however… look inside.
Okay, sure. So you’re familiar with Porsche’s discotastic hippie checkered flag mashup fabric pattern known as Pasha. It was a factory option, so here again… rare but worth featuring? If paired with green leatherette then we’d say yes.
Find another one. We dare you. Also, this car wins the late 1970s in our opinion. If you don’t agree. Fight us.
What: 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Color: Guards Red (guardsrot; non-metallic UNI; 84A / 027 / G1 / 80K / M3A / L80K; Porsche) and White (weiss; non-metallic UNI; C9A; Porsche) VIN: WP0AF2A95RS272296 Mileage: undisclosed Value: Sealed Bid, Value in Excess of $500,00 US CarFax: N//A Location: Pickering, ON, Candada Auction listing:RM Sotheby’s
If you have an affinity for both factory one-of-one creations and Canada, you won’t want to miss this 2024 911 GT3 RS. Unveiled at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show, this one-of-a-kind Sonderwunsch special was built by Porsche Canada to celebrate the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto (PECTO).
Obviously, an official Porsche importer wasn’t going to fall short on the details when it came to such a special build, and the so-called “PECTO GT3 RS” received options totaling $415,375 CAD. These included two-tone paint with special Guards Red and White Canada-themed livery, special red and black pepita fabric and countless other details like logos and even a one-off Porsche Design Chronograph.
The car is listed for sale directly from Porsche Cars Canada, with a percentage of the proceeds going to charity. In addition to the car and the aforementioned watch, the sale also includes a scale model of the car and a driving experience at Porsche Experience Centre Toronto.
Given the depth of details, we’re going to copy and paste the full description of the car here for the record, though if you’re interested in checking out more on the car and bidding on its sealed bid sale, click through the link above in order to do so.
Lot Description[source: RM Sotheby’s]
Designed specifically by Porsche Cars Canada alongside Porsche’s Exclusive Manufaktur department to announce the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto, RM Sotheby’s, a company founded and headquartered in Canada, is proud to offer this sensational 911 GT3 RS on behalf of Porsche Cars Canada.
Built to announce the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto and unveiled at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, this car is a stunning showcase of the abilities of the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur “Sonderwunsch” (special wishes) program to design and create automobiles that are unique in every aspect.
Undeniably Canadian from every angle, the livery on the PECTO GT3 RS is a homage to the Canadian flag utilizing Porsche’s own shades of Guards Red and White and showcases fanatical attention to detail. The offset exterior color split is delineated by the location of the steering wheel’s 12 o’clock marker, with each side of the car boasting deviated accent colors from the main exterior color apparent on that respective side, including the GT3 RS side graphics, maple leaf painted on the roof, the outer lips of the black forged magnesium wheels, maple leaf painted on the centerlocks, Porsche script underneath the rear wing, and the PECTO logo on either side of the rear wing.
The theme carries through to the GT3 RS’ interior with Pepita inserts on the seat centers and door cards in deviating red and white, red and white contrast stitching on the doors, red and white pass-throughs on the carbon fiber bucket seats, PECTO logos on the headrests, alongside Guards Red seat belts and the chrono stopwatch dial and tachometer in white. Replacing the usual ‘GT3 RS’ script on the illuminated doorsills is an outline of the Toronto skyline, illuminated in red and white.
In addition to the car’s incredible color scheme, the PECTO GT3 RS remains exceptionally well-optioned including the Weissach package, 90-liter fuel tank, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes with calipers in Gloss Black, front axle lift, preparation for Porsche dashcam, passenger footwell mounted fire extinguisher, LED-Matrix Design headlights in black, Exclusive Design taillights, Bose Surround Sound system, automatic dimming mirrors with integrated rain sensor, pedals and footrest in aluminum, and traffic sign recognition.
Since the car’s unveiling at the 2024 Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, the PECTO GT3 RS has traveled around Canada to a handful of different Porsche Centres and has now returned to the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto, where it will be on display until the conclusion of the auction. In addition to the car itself, the winning bidder will receive a scale model of the car, a one-off Porsche Design Chronograph, as well as a driving experience at the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto.
Finally, Porsche Cars Canada has elected that any amount over the PECTO GT3 RS’ reserve price will be donated to Campfire Circle (formerly Camp Ooch & Camp Trillium), a charity that has brought healing through happiness to kids with cancer or serious illness and their families since 1983. Through in-hospital, community, and overnight camp programs, the organization creates opportunities for children to build friendships and social skills, develop self-confidence and resiliency, and improve their overall well-being. By providing play-based experiences, they empower kids to take back their childhood, regardless of their medical diagnosis. Visit www.campfirecircle.org for more information.
Some six decades since the official importation of the first 356 to Canada in 1961, the opening of the Porsche Experience Centre Toronto showcases the continuing strength of the Canadian market for Porsche, all while offering Canadian customers an exciting new way to interact with the brand. The PECTO GT3 RS is the embodiment of that Canadian passion for Porsche and a brilliant showcase of the abilities of the Sonderwunsch program, making for a truly Canadian GT3 RS unlike any other.
What: 2022 Range Rover SVAutobiography LWB Color: Valloire White (valloirewhite; pearlescent UNI; 2233 / NUR / 926; Land Rover) VIN: SALGW5REXNA471074 Mileage: 27,500 miles BidPrice: $56,000 at time of publishing CarFax: N/A Window Sticker: N/A Location: Wellesley Hills, MA 02481 Listing: Cars and Bids
The L405 Range Rover is already an excellent generation of Range Rover, though built in exceptionally high luxury such as this SVAutobiography LWB takes it to another level. Looking over the car, it exudes an old money have-your-own-driver sort of feel.
The impression begins on the outside with two-tone Valloire White over black exterior. Step inside though and the vintage tan leather cockpit features Quilted Poltrona Frau semi-analine leather upholstery, heated, cooled, and massaging front and rear seats, reclining rear seats, a rear seat console refrigerator, and a rear seat entertainment system.
What: 1989 Porsche 959 ‘Speedster’ Color: Porsche Grand Prix White(grandprixweiß; non-metallic Uni; 908 / P5 / 9A5; Porsche) VIN: WP0ZZZ95ZHS900142 Mileage: 8,304 km, 5,160 miles Price Estimate: €1,100,000 – €1,500,000 EUR CarFax: N/A Location: RM Sotheby’s Milan Sale, May 22, 2025 Auction listing:Link
Imagine, in period, being one of the few who can afford and even attain a car as exclusive as the Porsche 959. Now, imagine you take said 959 and have it converted to a roadster. Well, it happened, and that fascinating car is headed to RM Sotheby’s upcoming Milan sale.
The conversion was performed by Karl-Heinz Feustel in 1989 to a car reportedly sold new to Jürgen Lässig, a racecar driver with a 24 Hours of Daytona victory under his belt along with a runner-up at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Upon completion, the 959 was displayed at the 1989 Essen Motor Show. Think of it as Germany’s SEMA (but with some public and press days thrown in) and you’ve got the idea. No doubt the car, built in Grand Prix White with blue interior and matching soft top, left an impression amongst those who came out for the show.
The car’s called a ‘Speedster’ and perhaps that applies. The painted A-pillar and windshield frame appear to be more 911 Cabriolet than Speedster, but it’s still incredibly unique. The exclusivity of the configuration goes up even further when you consider that the car came with a color-matched removable hardtop in a transport case, a tonneau top and spare ‘Speedster’ windscreen that makes one wonder if the conversion utilized a windshield incompatible with either the 911 Cabriolet or the Speedster of its time.
Whatever the case, it’s a very special car, one you can find more information on via the RM Sotheby’s link above.
What: 2022 Audi TT RS Color: Alpine White (alpinweiß; non-metallic UNI; L90E; Audi) VIN: WUAASAFV2N1900426 Mileage: 32,525 miles Price: $70,000 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: Pictured Below Location: Minnetonka, MN Listing:BMW Minnetonka
We’ve covered the Audi TT RS Heritage cars in the past, but due to incredibly limited quantities and equally tasteful build configurations, we simply do not see them often. Just 50 in total (10 each of five different heritage-themed color combinations) were produced, which nearly guarantees the buyer of this particular Tailored Driver be the only one they’ll ever encounter- a feat usually reserved for cars in the 6 and 7 figure range. Through that lens, the modest bump in pricing over a run of the mill TT RS seems like a downright bargain. So here we’ve got nearly the perfect vehicle for the Tailored Driver ethos- an enthusiast model that boasts scarcity at a somewhat attainable price of entry.
A massive thank you to Matt for the submission! If you have a line on something Tailored Driver should be featuring or may have missed, please do not hesitate to send us a private message.

It (almost) never fails. Tailored Driverfinds something, tells you how rare or uncommon it is, and within days, another one surfaces. Egg’s on our faces, right? With this one- not so much. A first-generation RS 7 with the Performance package and incredibly sought-after Akrapovic Titanium exhaust that was a factory option, this example is perhaps an even more interesting proposition than the last. It carried an original sticker of reportedly $160k, features deviated stitching in Blue throughout it’s cabin, and somewhere along the way, suffered what CarFax denotes as “Moderate” damage. That’s to say that while the selling dealer will not disclose their price, massive depreciation is to be expected, although an “I know what I’ve got” number is likely to be expected as well.
What: 2023 Audi RS 7 sportback Color: Audi exclusive Glacier White Matte Effect(matte effect; S9R; Audi) VIN: WP0EB0910KS170619 Mileage: 25,477 Miles Price: $109,999 CarFax:Link Window Sticker: Pictured Below Location: San Diego, CA Listing:Audi San Diego
Believe it or not, Audi exclusive currently offers no less than 8 different matte effect color options– Florett and Dew Silver, Daytona and Nardo Grey, Ascari Blue, Sonoma and District Green, and the Glacier White you see here. Seeing as the prospect is perhaps more tempting than the reality, we can understand why these 8 are rarely come to our attention in market, so when one finally does it makes the listing all the more noteworthy. Frequent Tailored Driver fliers Audi San Diego have one such offering, this Glacier White Matte Effect Audi RS 7 sportback. Under the California sun Glacier dances with a subtle cyan glow, even if the clearcoat is opaque. We think it’s a sharp package, and can’t imagine it will last long.
What: 1988 Porsche 959 Sport Color: Porsche Grand Prix White(grandprixweiß; non-metallic Uni; 908 / P5 / 9A5; Porsche) VIN: WP0ZZZ95ZJS905016 Mileage: 3,757 miles Price Estimate: $5,500,000 – $6,500,000 CarFax: N/A Window Sticker: N/A Location: Coral Gables, FL Link: RM Sotheby’s
Rare car. Rare spec. Not tailored.
Besides silver, a white 959 isn’t especially rare. Yes, this still a Porsche 959 road car built for Group B homologation we’re talking about, so it’d be worthy in these pages anyway. However, we give it extra points for having rare specification within that space.
The color is Grand Prix White, so in the lexicon of Porsche paint colors that’s G-body vanilla. In fact, Grand Prix White and Guards Red were the only colors made available on the 959 Sport.
Notably, we love the look of the incredible 959 center lock Cup-looking magnesium 5-spokes also color-matched to Grand Prix White. The latter is why we call it “white on white” in the title, a styling cue that is oh-so-quintessentially 80s and arguably consistent with the Porsche’s 1983 Gruppe B prototype concept car. So, while vanilla, it’s still a great look.
Also, this is a 959 Sport, is a whole lot more rare than the 959 Komfort. Of the 292 production 959s constructed, only 29 of them were built to Sport specification. Differences for the Sport included full leather-wrapped roll cage with four-point racing harnesses and cloth upholstery. As weight savings measures, the Sport also saw the deletion the Komfort’s adaptive suspension that was replaced with conventional coilovers. Air conditioning and stereo were also deleted. All told, these deletions shaved some 220 lbs. off the weight of the Komfort.
A detail worth calling out is the car’s seats. In this pre-964 era, Porsche wasn’t yet fitting Recaro Pole Position shell seats from the factory as they would in the Carrera RS and many, many more. Thus, the 959 Sport uses Porsche’s familiar folding bucket in big bolster configuration. Where it differs is pass-throughs for racing harnesses. It’s also got unique Sport-specification fabric seating surfaces stitched with the same unique gradient striping one would see in a 959 Komfort’s leather seats.
The car you see here is the 16th 959 Sport built. Briefly sold directly to an American associated with a privateer Porsche racing team, the car’s first owner quickly sold it off once he learned he’d have no luck importing the car to America. Even still, he didn’t do it before renting out a track for a day and having some fun with it.
The car would spend most of the rest of its life thus far in Switzerland, before going to Italy in 2015 then America after that.
What: 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder Color:White(weiss; non-metallic Uni; C9A; Porsche) VIN: WP0CA2A13FS800821 Mileage: 1,499 miles Price Estimate: $2,750,000 – $3,000,000 CarFax: see attached documents in listing Window Sticker: see attached documents in listing Location: RM Sotheby’s 2025 Miami Auction, Coral Gables, FL Listing: Link
Though 918 #821 (of 918 built) was painted White, a standard color offering, it’s clear that this particular example is far from “standard”.
For starters, it’s got the Weissach Package, nomenclature that suggests lighteweighting in Porsche speak. In the case of the 918 Spyder, this included magnesium alloy center-locking wheels, titanium chassis hardware, ceramic wheel bearings, fabric door-release pull straps instead of conventional handles, lighter Alcantara trim instead of leather, fire-resistant fabric, and six-point harnesses. It also deleted things like air conditioning, the Burmester stereo, and glovebox, though they could be added back at no cost. All told, the package accounted for about 100 pounds of weight.
The $84,000 Weissach Package also opened up the option of choosing factory-applied wraps that paid tribute to historic Porsche racing liveries. Some owners went even further, skipping the vinyl and having the livery elements painted on the car. One popular car to harken was the red and white Porsche Salzburg 917K that won Le Mans in 1970.
In the case of 918 #821, Salzburg was the inspiration, though the distinctive striping pattern was applied in a monochromatic black stripes on white body, adding some added flair by integrating Acid Green elements – Acid Green being a common theme in 918 production. It is said to be one of two to be painted with this black and Acid Green configuration, and the only example to be paired with black leather featuring further Acid Green accents on the inside.
Other options included front-axle lift system, two-zone automatic climate control, HomeLink, cup holder, carbon fiber-look floormats with Acid Green piping, seatbelts with Acid Green striping, Burmester high-end surround-sound audio system, glove box, and center console storage compartment.
The car was delivered new via Porsche of Roslyn in upstate New York and has one owner. It is now being sold by a consignor who acquired it from that original owner.
