Continental’s premium road tyre, the Grand Prix 5000, has a new variant named the Continental Grand Prix 5000 Transparent.

Despite road tyre fashionistas loving the tan-wall or skin-wall look, Continental has never really had a foot in that door as the GP5000, and its benchmark-setting predecessor, the GP4000S II has only ever been available in black, save that is for a limited edition tan-wall available during the 2020 Tour de France (which, of course, completely sold out).
That limited model, with its very pale sidewalls, was only ever available in 25mm sizing. It was also heavier than the standard 5000 as the coloured wall was actually a layer of rubber.
