Paint to Sample still separates the tracked GT3 cohorts. At the September close, the 991.2 GT3 shows a +20.5% gross PTS price gap, while the 992 GT3 sits at +10.1%. That is a useful comping signal, not a guaranteed return on a paint option.
The important qualification this month is coverage: the tracker captures only 4 September-dated sales, including one PTS car. These figures summarize the cumulative dataset through September 30. They do not establish a September-wide market move.
The September-close snapshot
| Model | Gross PTS gap | Dollar gap | Total n | PTS n | Coverage confidence | Captured sale dates |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 991.2 GT3 | +20.5% | +$43,152 | 151 | 32 | High | 2021-02-16 to 2026-08-30 |
| 992 GT3 | +10.1% | +$26,513 | 182 | 46 | High | 2022-07-22 to 2026-09-25 |
| 997.2 GT3 | +7.1% | +$12,540 | 39 | 3 | Low | 2017-10-30 to 2026-09-30 |
| 911 R / Speedster | -2.0% | -$8,916 | 72 | 8 | Medium | 2019-03-06 to 2026-09-10 |
991.2 GT3: the largest observed paint gap
The 32 PTS cars average $253,492; the 119 non-PTS cars average $210,341. The difference is +$43,152, or +20.5%, across 151 analyzed sales. The published August snapshot showed the same rounded premium and sample size. No September-dated 991.2 sale is captured, so this is a carried-forward signal, not fresh confirmation from September transactions.
992 GT3: a deeper sample, a slightly narrower gap
The 992 set contains 182 sales, including 46 PTS cars. PTS cars average $290,020, compared with $263,507 for non-PTS cars. The gross gap is +$26,513, or +10.1%.
The published August snapshot was +10.4% across 180 sales. September’s +10.1% comes from 182 captured sales. Two additional observations can change a gross average; that modest narrowing alone does not prove demand for PTS weakened.
The September PTS comp: Slate Gray Touring at $255,000
A 1,900-mile 2022 GT3 Touring in paint-to-sample Slate Gray sold for $255,000 on September 8. The source listing confirms its PTS finish and sale result. It also describes a manual transmission, ceramic brakes and an Exclusive Manufaktur interior. Those details matter when choosing comparable cars.
The result sits below the pooled 992 PTS average. One transaction is not enough to infer a Slate Gray discount, and it is not a color-premium estimate.
Touring and paint overlap
The cumulative Touring price gap is +22.3% for 991.2 GT3 and +12.4% for 992 GT3. PTS Touring cars average $266,513 across 22 991.2 sales and $296,323 across 40 992 sales.
Do not add the Touring and paint percentages together. The groups overlap, and this analysis does not isolate their independent effects. Match transmission, mileage, options and condition before using either average to set a price.
997.2 and halo cars: small samples, large composition effects
The 997.2 GT3 shows +7.1%, or +$12,540, but it has only 3 PTS observations among 39 sales. Coverage confidence is Low. Its gross gap was +10.4% in the published August snapshot. The captured September 30 non-PTS sale at $355,500 raises the non-PTS average and narrows the gap without any new PTS observation. That is sample composition, not proof of a paint repricing.
The pooled 911 R / Speedster set shows -2.0%, or -$8,916, across 72 sales, including 8 PTS cars. Pooling two distinct halo models makes this a weak basis for any color-specific conclusion.
992 colors with enough repeat observations
- Oak Green Metallic: $311,400 average, n=5, medium coverage confidence.
- British Racing Green: $297,286 average, n=7, medium coverage confidence.
- Meissen Blue: $294,609 average, n=13, medium coverage confidence.
These averages are a starting point for finding comps. They do not rank colors by intrinsic value. All three have Medium coverage confidence, and cars with different specifications still need separate treatment.
September-dated sales captured in the tracker
| Date | Model | Paint classification | Sale price | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-08 | 992 GT3 | Slate Grey | $255,000 | Auction result |
| 2026-09-10 | 911 R / Speedster | Standard / non-PTS | $599,911 | Auction result |
| 2026-09-25 | 992 GT3 | Standard / non-PTS | $272,000 | Auction result |
| 2026-09-30 | 997.2 GT3 | Standard / non-PTS | $355,500 | Auction result |
The buyer’s takeaway
For a 991.2 or 992 GT3, the cumulative tracker still supports treating PTS as a meaningful spec variable. Start with the right generation and specification, then use individual auction results. September adds too few captured transactions to justify a stronger claim.

Methodology and coverage
This is a beta dataset with evolving coverage. September 2026 is a cumulative month-end snapshot, not September-only pricing. It includes 444 analyzed Bring a Trailer sales dated through September 30, 2026. Only 4 captured rows are dated in September, including 1 PTS sale. Missing auction coverage is not evidence that no other cars sold.
The gross gap is (average PTS sale price minus average non-PTS sale price) divided by the non-PTS average. It is not adjusted for mileage, transmission, Touring specification, options, condition, or sale timing. Coverage confidence reflects sample depth and mileage completeness, not confidence that paint caused the price difference. Flagged outliers, undated rows, and sales after September 30 are excluded. The 911 R and Speedster are pooled, so model mix can dominate their result.
Color averages appear only with at least five captured sales per color and are descriptive, not definitive color premiums. Cars & Bids is excluded because its available coverage remains too small to support a market claim. Historical PTS classification is tracker-derived and may need further validation.
