Riviera Blue Porsche 918 Spyder and 991 GT3 RS

 

 

The two rare Riviera Blue Porschas were present at the Pelican Parts (a Porsche and BMW parts specialist) Cars and Coffee event in California, on March 23. Both machines come from Pacific Porsche, a Los Angeles dealer, who had also brought other Zuffenhausen machines to the event, which were pretty much overshadowed by this pair.
