I don’t mind the colour, but find the wheels a big let down (even if they are forged in the hands of angels with unobtanium). The look like something you’d get at tire rack on sale.

I’d choose a bright color, but I love the look, the cf, and both wheel options.

I wish I had an MSRP allocation! I’d get one in a heartbeat if I did.

I'm with you. Not their best launch color by a mile.

I'm in agreement with earlier posts that think this is Graphite Blue. They had taken that off the PTS availability list at least a couple of years ago. I wonder if they were setting it aside for this.
I'm also struggling to like this particular paint/wheel color combo. Maybe it's just the orange side markers throwing the look off

Aside from the color choice of rims, I'm really digging it.

I was hoping they also had a non-Weissach Package car.....would like to see the other wheels in a different color.

It is Arctic Grey, same as the launch color of the Cayenne Turbo GT.

I don't like this launch. Lacks class IMHO. Too much JDM like.

Tech spec figures are awesome. The style they went with... ugly. Red calipers, orange indicators, so many carbon-fiber patches, sad blueish color with wheels that don't quite make it for me... Same but with different bright paint/regular dark-gray wheels/ black calipers and even the hood and side intakes painted in body color would make it much nicer imo.

Probably the non-WP is what you are describing

207 waiting for start on YT. Figure that's a good bit from Rennlist. It is awfully early for Europe.
