GTS Red

GTS Red (code G1 / M3E) is a deep, rich, near-pure red solid at #AA0001 — a clean, fully saturated red that reads as darker and more composed than Guards Red, without the orange warmth that characterizes Indischrot. It sits at the very dark end of the pure red spectrum, with enough depth to read as more serious than a brighter red while remaining unmistakably red in any light. Paint supplier records confirm code M3E/Z6 on the 2008 Cayenne GTS, where it appeared as a model-specific launch color. The Stuttcars database places it on the Cayenne/Panamera from 2008 to 2010, which tracks with the color's origin as a signature option for the Cayenne GTS during those model years. It subsequently entered the PTS catalogue, where it has appeared on GT cars. Three documented community examples reflect its limited but consistent presence. The name encodes its purpose directly — GTS Red is designed to communicate the GTS performance identity through a color that is bold enough to announce itself while restrained enough to suit a sport-luxury SUV.
