Aubergine is a dark, deep burgundy-red violet solid that ranges from near-black purple in low light to a rich, complex interplay of red, purple and violet in direct sun. At #67083E it sits in the same chromatic family as dark wine, plum, and the skin of the vegetable for which it is named — Porsche's own description calls it "a dark, burgundy-red violet that embodies exclusivity." Aubergine (code 025) was offered on the 911 from 1972 through 1975 — and among its documented appearances is the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7 from 1973, where Porsche records confirm that 16 examples of this purist, lightweight icon were built in Aubergine. That connection to the most celebrated 911 of the air-cooled era gives the color an extraordinary status in Porsche history. It is now offered through PTS, carrying its 1970s heritage into the present day. Six documented community examples preserve this legacy.
