A near-black burgundy metallic at the absolute darkest end of the red-brown family — so dark that it reads as black in most lighting conditions, revealing its deep wine-red character only in direct raking light at close range — Burgundy Red Metallic (code Z3K) is listed in the Stuttcars database as a PTS color with no confirmed model-year window and a rarity score of 4. The hex #2D0D14 is near-absolute dark, consistent with a color designed to operate at the extremes of the near-black metallic category. Very dark red metallics of this depth belong to a specific tradition of sophisticated automotive colors favored by buyers who want the warmth of red without any of its visibility — a color for those who know rather than those who display. The Z3K code places it in the modern Porsche coding system. On the current 911, Taycan, or Panamera, a color this dark creates a dramatically moody presence that rewards observation without announcing itself at distance.
