Looks like for MY2023, all 911s will be offered in AG now too. So we will be seeing AG far across the Porsche lineup in the wild soon.

Hello,

I think his reference to “AG” relates to te new color Artic Grey”.

Is there flake under sunlight for arctic grey? I’m currently submitting my order for an RS3 and it actually looks like, at least the base grey, kemora grey. Kemora has red flake that reflects in the sun though.

For the short time I held the paint sample outside, it seemed very flat to me without any flake.

That is a nice color, especially in that 2nd pic. I love the colors Audi has on offer for the new RS3.

That said, it's kind of an inverse version of Arctic Grey. I don't think Arctic Grey has flake either, but there is definitely a subtle blue undertone. Kemora Grey looks more bluish overall than Arctic Grey as well; sort of like Subaru's Grey Khaki.

The red in Kemora Grey is really cool... reminds me of the amber/gold/brown in BMW's Bernina Grey; my neighbor has a 540i this color and it is truly fantastic. A big reason I went with Arctic Grey actually:



I'd get an RS3 that color if I was speccing one.

My Arctic Gray Boxster T will be here in December (hopefully!). I'll take some pictures!
