Damn, the Gentian Blue + silver looks awesome.

Wheels are growing on me a bit...suspect they will look fine in person (especially the rears)

Sounds like you need a Cayenne Turbo

Not a bad wheel at all! Only wish the wheel on the new Spyder was exclusive to it and not shared with the GT4, as on the 981. Then again, by sharing the same wheel with the GT4 Porsche probably wanted to reinforce the sameness of the Spyder and GT4 - not a bad thing!

Vaguely reminiscent of Eduardo's gorgeous 'superman' spyder.

Porsche does all these things to save money. Don't kid yourself. I'm sure Porsche is feeling a lot of financial heat these days especially as they head into the world of EV with the proposition of lost market share.

agree
the blue doesn't look as dark on the 992 configurator

I find it curious that they didn't create a new wheel for the 2020 718 Spyder and Cayman and instead chose to rehash a wheel from 4 years back. Although I do love the 981 GT4 wheel, especially on a Spyder.

The Genetian Blue on the configurator is not a very good representation of the color. It’s definitely brighter. The configurator looks more like Night Blue... the other darker blue on the 992.

Under neon lights that looks a lot like Sapphire Blue.

Dammit. That's a deal breaker for me. I was interested in the dark blue depicted in the configurator.

Genetian Blue seems to be a color shifter in different light... Super deep metallic?
