A pale, luminous silver with a slightly warm champagne cast introduced in 2023 specifically for the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Le Mans Centenaire Edition — a limited run of 72 units created exclusively for the French market to commemorate the centenary of Porsche's first Le Mans victory. The name references the French word for centenary (centenaire), confirming the color's commemorative origins. Porsche's own PTS records document it under code 7SD as part of the 2023 expanded PTS programme additions. The hex #E8E8DE confirms a very pale, neutral silver with subtle warmth. Following the commemorative edition run, the formula was added to the standard PTS catalogue, making it available for other customers on any compatible model. As one of the more recently added PTS silvers, its availability to buyers outside France and outside the GT2 RS context is a welcome democratization of a genuinely distinctive champagne-silver option. The rarity score of 2 reflects the color's recent introduction and modest general uptake beyond the commemorative edition.
