The Paint on This Porsche Costs More Than a Porsche
The color of the Porsche 911 Turbo you see here is called Phyton Green Chromaflair and its costs nearly $100,000.
Posted on social media, the Porsche 991.2 Turbo S featuring the paint was showcased at the upcoming AvD Oldtimer Grand Prix at the Nurburgring this past weekend. According to Instagram user @killsbugsfast, the paint is one of five examples produced each year and there are different shades of Chromaflair available including blue, gold, and violet. But what makes it even crazier is how much it costs, with another Instagram user grabbing a photo of the options on the car. The paint? A cool €82,645 that converts to $97,318. That’s enough to buy you a brand new Porsche 911 Carrera.

The options on this particular car total over €107,000 ($126,083) – enough to get you behind the wheel of a brand new 911 Carrera GTS. Spring a little more and you could buy a Porsche 911 GT3 for the amount spent on the options found on the display car.

Nice green. cost + $95,000
lol - I could buy enough of this pigment to paint a whole whole car on eBay for $40. Hell - this color _barely_ changes. Chromaflair / Spectraflair had a corner on the market when they first intro'd this stuff 20 years ago (when it was on the 96 Mystic Cobra - also NOT $100k) - but they're just a face in the crowd now.
