And in china there's the mandatory fugly front plate with blue bg you must have noticed, cost wise his high spec translates to about 180k usd.

Intriguing colour. This one shows it off nice, I’ve yet to see it in person. For those who own it, is this somewhat accurate? I like the way it is grey, black and green depending on the light.

Yes, very accurate. Extremely light-dependent colour. In direct light it's very green, in shade it can be almost agate grey. In mixed light it's metallic khaki.

I've just placed my order for a GTS 4.0 in AG with Espresso/Cognac full leather and espresso seat inserts. I currently have a 981 GTS in DBM with Espresso full leather interior, it will go up for sale. I'm anxious to see the new car in person, nothing has been built in that combination I'm aware of.

Congratulations! Sounds like it will be a unique build. AG is an intriguing color. It is a rare color in my part of the country my dealer has only sold one car in AG

Looking good! I much prefer the front side intakes over the 981 style, looks to be a much smoother transition on the front end, IMO. Hoping to see an AG color with my own eyes one of these days.
Enjoy your new Porsche!

Got on my dealer's waitlist for a '21 Cayman build allocation this weekend, I am super torn between this color and Gentian Blue.

So was I. back and forth a bunch. I finally went with Gentian mainly due to the fact that I had not the opportunity to see the Green with my own eyes but had seen the Blue and I am partial to the Porsche Blues... Glad you got on the list, I am sure you will do a super build!

I've changed my mind on the Espresso inserts, moved back to just Espresso/ Cognac. Rennbow showed AG as a 3 paint can rarity but I emailed Vu asking why since it has only been available for 2-3 years a while back. He said they would look at it again and then whoever administers the website wrote to tell me they had reconsidered and gave it 4 paint cans, not the rarest of colors but pretty rare.

AFAIK - the AG on Rennbow is AVENTURAGRUEN PEARL available '94-'96. The current color is AVENTURINGRUEN MET - a different color.

Maybe so, but I just pulled up Rennbow.org and the color is called Aventura(Aventurine) Green Metallic, and I find no Aventuragruen Pearl. The German name listed is Aventuragruenmetallic, no mention of Pearl. There is no pearl color listed that I can find.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge than I will be along soon but this (Aventura)

...to my eyes looks like a different color to this (Aventurine) - even allowing for lighting differences
