I would have loved Python Green or Lava Orange as a launch color.

Is that purple Ultraviolet or some other purple? But yeah, Gelbgrun looks really good there. Any of those colors will look really nice with the painted stripe as well.

The color and the wheels are growing on me. At first I was like, meh, not so great. But the more I look the more I like. Question is (from another thread poll on color) is this the color that will be most popular? I guess, who cares, get what you like. For me living in a small market chances of seeing another are rare. But PTS is still on my mind. Most disappointed in suspension and tire size. I realize new suspension wasn't in the cars, but Porsche should have put a bit more effort into adding more width for a bit more grip. I suspect that can still be accomplished by what other have done with their GT4.

Wonder what kind of rear MacPherson strut suspension that car uses, the press release from PAG stated:
Originally Posted by newsroom.porsche.com

Always wondered if that was a typo if the car indeed had double wishbone front and struts rears, getting under the car and taking pictures would be the only real way to confirm that information.
Double wishbone fronts would make sense since the car is AWD and it would be a better front suspension to help the front motor put the power down to the ground. The rear remaining a strut based rear is very puzzling for various reasons (unless there were issues with packaging)
Edit: Found the Mission-R details here:
So it looks like there were packaging issues that affected their decision to use a McPherson based rear suspension.
