Porsche’s Paint To Sample programme offers customers a near-endless array of colors to choose from when creating their dream Porsche. One of the most head-turning is ‘Ruby Star’.
Essentially an eye-popping shade of pink, Ruby Star is one of the rarest colors from Porsche you’re ever likely to find. Not many customers opt for it but when they do, they instantly have one of the most desirable Porsche’s on the roads.
The two Porsche 911 GT2 RSs featured in the Instagram post below are thought to be the only examples in the world painted in Ruby Star. The first of these two is an exceptional GT2 RS that was recently delivered to a customer in Salt Lake City, Utah. While this car misses out on the desirable Weissach package, the Ruby Star paint has been paired with satin black wheels and yellow brake calipers.
As for the second car in the gallery below, it is located in Manama, Bahrain and does have the Weissach package. This means there are a handful of weight saving measures that have been made, including the fitment of lightweight black wheels and a carbon fiber roof.
Few details about the respective owners of the sports car’s are known but it’s reported that the owner of the car in Salt Lake City also daily drives a Porsche 918 Spyder with over 10,000 miles (16,000 km) on it.
As a reminder, the 991-generation Porsche 911 GT2 RS is fitted with a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine delivering 690 hp and 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque.
