It certainly seems like the overwhelming majority of 991.1 Porsche 911 GT3 examples are finished in white. That was the color the car debuted in at the 2013 Geneva Auto Show but actually wasn’t the press color, as that honor went to Guards Red. Still, it seems like every time I look for a 2014 or 2015 GT3 it is finished in white. I don’t hate that, but it would be nice to see some colors every once in a while. Well, today we have that. This 2014 example up for sale in Florida is finished in Amaranth Red Metallic. It wasn’t a paint-to-sample color, but rather an optional color along with nine other shades that rarely come up. I dig it.

I’ve seen some pretty bizarre stuff, but this one might take it.
This is a 2020 Porsche 911 Carrera S wearing a black vinyl wrap and an interior that began life as black leather and has been transformed into something I don’t even like. Why people do this and think it’s a good idea is beyond me. Why people do this and think it actually adds value to a car is living on another planet. I’m ready to throw my hands up on this one.

7 CommentsI read a stat recently that 78.5% of the cars sold in the US today are finished in a grayscale color. On top of that, blue was next at 9.5% while red followed up with 8.6%. That isn’t a lot of room for the wild colors. Thankfully, Porsche is saving the day with these wild color combos and the endless list of paint-to-sample selections. Even better, Porsche offers these crazy colors as dealer stock. Today, we roll the clock back 15 years to the 2008 Boxster Limited Edition. 500 examples were produced, 250 each for the Boxster and Boxster S. All of them were finished in “Orange”, which was the same “Orange” on the 2008 911 GT3 RS. Even crazier, they sprinkled some of that extra orange paint on the trim too. Do you want to stick out? Here you go.
