When Porsche aficionados are quizzed about their preferred hue, there’s a good chance they’ll bypass the iconic Guards Red and instead wax lyrical about PTS. So, what exactly is PTS? It’s shorthand for ‘Paint to Sample,’ a term that elicits a gleam in the eyes of Porsche purists. A Paint To Sample Porsche 911 isn’t just another vehicle off the assembly line; it’s a canvas for individuality, offering buyers the chance to own something uniquely theirs. This bespoke service isn’t just about personalization; it’s a golden key to exclusive events and the privilege to reserve limited-edition models before the world even catches wind of them.

Diving into the details, Paint To Sample is a dream woven into the very fabric of Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur’s program. If you can envision it, they aim to bring it to life. Flashback to the origins of this personalized service, where the mere mention of “Sonderwunsch” or “Special Wishes” on the order form would forge a direct link between the buyer’s vision and the meticulous hands at the factory. Fast forward to today, and while the essence of Porsche’s Paint To Sample remains, its scope has evolved. With a plethora of pre-approved shades ready to choose from and the advent of the Paint To Sample Plus program, the commitment to customer-centric creation is stronger than ever, offering a spectrum of shades as diverse as the dreams of Porsche’s clientele.
Due to the incredible volume of Porsche 911 production, Exclusive Manufaktur is located next door to the assembly line. Here the cars enter as rolling chassis to be assembled by hand. Not only will your car arrive to-order, but it will also stand out among the regular production cars. Someone took the time and money to create this masterpiece, so it was probably treated with white gloves. Therefore, it will receive praise from Porsche purists at events around the world.

What is Paint To Sample?
The Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur program can make it a reality if you can dream it. In the early days, a dealer would note “Sunderwunsch”, or “Special Wishes” on the order form, triggering a direct connection from the salesperson to the factory. Nowadays, Porsche’s Paint To Sample has changed a bit.
What are PTS colors?
Well, that’s kind of a loaded question and there are many pre-approved Paint To Sample colors that can be selected, but new ones are also being created with new requests through the Paint To Sample Plus program. While Paint To Sample used to mean that the color was completely bespoke, Porsche now offers around 160 pre-approved Paint To Sample colors that are incredibly unique. The Paint To Sample Plus program is where bespoke creations and wishes from customers are granted. While this route may take longer, the result is a completely personalized paint finish.
What is a PTS Porsche?
A PTS Porsche refers to a Porsche that has been customized using the Paint to Sample program. Expect to see an incredibly unique and rare paint color, ranging from classic-inspired hues to avant garde shades. Because Paint to Sample is a desirable and expensive option, Paint to Sample Porsches for sale will demand a higher price.
How much do PTS colors cost?
The pre-approved selection of PTS colors range from $11,430 to $12,830; PTS Plus colors can cost up to $25,660. Sure, this is a substantial increase on the vehicle’s price, but the result is a bespoke creation and PTS Porsches are always hot when on the market.
