Someone noted on PH that Miami blue is not available after 5/2020 on the German configurator. It says it under summary.

It is possible lizard will be replacing Miami blue. I can't see them only have one special color (chalk). Would be curious if someone in Europe has a build slot and can shed more light.

Miami Blue + Lizard Green or Lava Orange should be options on this car. No idea why the color selection is so limited.

No changes on the porsche usa site. I went back to configure the spyder and it's all still the same.

Question here - if you order full leather with deviating stitching in silver/yellow/red - AND GT Steering wheel.

?does the stitching on the shift boot and steering wheel stay black or change to the colours of the stitching package (silver/red/yellow) ?

but if you do deviating stitching....say in green....what happens then to the boot and steering wheel?

Thanks.

When you pick from the offered deviated stitchings in Yellow or Red all standard silver stitching gets changed, including the shifter boot.
Now, on the 718 GT4 you don't have the individual option of deviated stitching like in other 718 models....they have this option and Acid Green is included which could work with Lizard on the exterior.
So unless they add green deviated stitching to the yellow and red (hopefully they will go this route) there will be no way to change it to green....IMO leave it silver would probably be the best and safest option.
Also...would be nice if also the 12 o clock marker on the steering wheel could be ordered lizard green.

To be more specific:

When you change the steering wheel from Alcantara to Leather with the GT sport steering wheel option (858).....seems like the stitching on the steering wheel and shift boot defaults to black, even if you have the full leather with silver/yellow/red stitching.....is this actually what happens or is it just a configurator glitch?

Likely a config. glitch, as it often doesn't show different color seatbelts as well.

This isn't a glitch. When you go from alcantera to leather for the shifter **** and steering wheel, the deviated stitching goes away. This is one (of a few) reasons I'm sticking with Alcantera over the leather swap out for the steering wheel and shifter

@ JAHMED:

It seems the seat belts do not change in colour when you specify the red/yellow/silver full leather packages.

Lizard seat belts are now available on the USA site. (At least I just noticed, perhaps they have been there for a week).

Can anyone who has an allocation try to get clarification on lizard being an offered color soon?
