Want a way to show up every other Instagram or YouTube hero that bought a Porsche GT car and posted a video about it? It’s gotta be one of the paint-to-sample or wild colors offered by the company, then. And is there a more wild color than Ruby Star Neo? I’m sure there might be, but every single time it catches my eye. The searing looks match the equally outrageous performance on tap from the GT4 RS; the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six makes a peak 493 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque, good enough to pull down 0-60 runs in 2.8 seconds. While the RS starts at 160k today, the total quickly adds up with options, including the paint (a bargain at only $3,500), the $15k forged magnesium wheels, the $13k Weissach Package…well, you get the point. On top of that, these special-order GTs tend to hit the market higher than their MSRPs. The result? This is no budget Cayman:

Admittedly, I’m not sure I’d be able to actually order Ruby Star, though I am sure you would be rewarded long term for doing so.
The dealer here is asking $260k, which is slightly above where other similar GT4s have landed in ’23. On the other hand, you could save half that money and have a very nice, and very special, Frozen Berry “regular” GT4. I would definitely go that route, as amazing as this car looks.

Ruby Star Neo isn’t even PTS. It’s a “hack” for sure. I got my 911 “T” in Rubystar Neo at less than 1.3rd the price of PTS “real” Rubystone paint. Porsche is interesting this way. Mahogany was only an $800 color on my Taycan and people were sure it was PTS.
I appreciate the vehicle for what it is but not much interest in it and considering the price there are far better ways to waste that kind of money a car or even a few cars totaling the same amount.
