Nardo Grey Porsche 911 R with Matching Wheels Comes from Hawaii

Most of the 2017 Porsche 911 R owners have already taken delivery of their cars and yet we can enjoy new examples that show up online. Case in point with the Nardo Grey car we have here, which is nothing short of breathtaking.

The hue might be more familiar to Audi enthusiasts, and yet it seems to perfectly suit the understated aura of the R, shaved posterior and all.

Nevertheless, the yelow stripes adorning the top of the Neunelfer make the machine stand out. Note that the same color was used for the "Porsche" badging on the doors, while the side stripes come in black.

Then we have the yellow brake calipers, which signal the presence of the PCCB (Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes) hardware.

Main shade aside, an incredibly important detail comes from the hue used for the wheels, which, as we mentioned above, mirrors that covering the body of the car.

According to PTSRS, the Facebook page that delivered the pic we have here, we're looking at North America's first Nardo Grey 911 R. The car was delivered to Porsche of Hawaii in Honolulu earlier this year.

"This brings the worldwide Nardo Grey 911 R count to 2, with the other example being Lebanon's only 911 R in Beirut," PTSRS explains when describing the pic.

Now, you might be wondering how such a shade looks when covering the overly extrovert lines of a GT3 RS. Well, we had a similar question back in the summer and, fortunately, we received our answer in the form of a real-world image, not a rendering.

The said Porsche 911 GT3 RS had been caught on camera while awaiting delivery, with the track tool sitting quietly inside a dealer in Munich, Germany - here's the rear-engined delight, in case you didn't get to feast your eyes on its aero-dictated lines.
