Default The yellow SIMIA, 718 GT4

Hi all,

after several month, "thanks" to the time spent home in these days, I introduce you my yellow GT4.

It is one of the first cars in Italy, arrived at Porsche center in mid of November, in my hands from December, I waited the 718 plate.

Yellow, LWB, clubsport, a dream came true after years!

Congratulations! Looks stunning! I'm a big fan of yellow. Debating between Racing Yellow and Guards Red. However, I'm bit concerned that Racing Yellow shows remarkable variations in how it looks in different lighting conditions. What's your experience so far? How much of variations it shows in different lighting? Thanks.

I am happy to inform you that Racing Yellow is very much immune for those variations under different light. Blame cheap mobile phone's for lousy color representation. RY always pops, come rain or shine. I had a RY 981 Cayman from 2014 too, before my Spyder.


I had a crush for Lizard Green but since that wasn't available (now it's even gone for the 992) I have no regrets sticking with RY!

Good to know, Yellow Submarine. Have you seen Speed Yellow in person? If so, would you say RY is brighter/lighter than SY?

A mate had a 981 Spyder in Speed Yellow. It's definitely darker than RY!

About the color, I can only say that I never imagined to buy a yellow car. I was in list for 981 GT4 in 2015, and I was 100% sure for white. Later I gave up the idea due to lack of allocations.
After some years the need of GT4 rise back, I've started looking for a used "white" GT4, so at a Porsche dealer I saw a Yellow stripper 981 GT4 with black wheels, I complete fell in love with the colour and I decide to wait and order the 718...Thanks to the P.center I was able to order in June 2019, and the 21 of Nov. the car appeared to my eyes, terrific!!

Nice! I did it the other way around for my Spyder: no deviated stitching but Racing Yellow Sport Chrono clock. Speedo and rev counter remains black.

Many safe kilometers wished tot you!
