Slate Grey Porsche 911R

 

As it turns out, the vehicle was ordered new by a customer in Paris, who requested a Paint to Sample, one of only a handful to do so. Instead of the “usual” white or silver with red or green stripes that the factory offered as standard, this customer ordered his in Slate Grey with silver stripes and yellow accents (the only one of its kind), all in tribute, apparently, to Steve McQueen.

The door sills were even emblazoned with a quote from the legendary King of Cool himself: “Racing is life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.” The black leather interior features custom floor mats, a Bose sound system and was also specified with the Sport Chrono pack, nose lift kit, Bi-Xenon headlights, single-mass flywheel… the works. It even received a special serial number, 967, to reflect the original 911 R from 1967.
