Frequently asked questions
Which Porsche models and years came in Bordeaux Red?
Our sources list Bordeaux Red on the 911 S Coupé (1960s–1970s, standard color). If you see it on a model or year not listed, it may be a Paint to Sample order or a respray — the build sheet for the VIN shows which.
Is Bordeaux Red a Paint to Sample color?
Our sources list Bordeaux Red as a standard color rather than Paint to Sample. Porsche's Paint to Sample program can still apply many past colors to new cars, so a recent car in Bordeaux Red may be a PTS order.
How can I tell if a Porsche is factory Bordeaux Red?
Read the paint code on the option sticker (in the maintenance booklet and, on most models, in the front luggage compartment) or on a build sheet for the VIN, and compare it with the codes above. A matching color name alone does not rule out a respray or wrap.
