Still not in Canada yet. I had inquired about it but was told it would be CXX option. I even asked about red or yellow stitching on the steering wheel but would have been like $800.

Not in Canada yet as mentioned but went to the US site... they are there but sadly don’t show up on the car when you select them. I was looking forward to taking a look.

Referring to the leather wheel?

I saw that too and thought perhaps I missed it. Let's hope that opens the door for other new opens; Carmine Red?

I asked for the red or yellow on the top dead center of the steering wheel but was too expensive.

A rumor I heard was that Miami Blue will be discontinued starting August production... Not sure if it is true as it was originally thought to be cancelled after May production (prior to Covid-19). If it is true I wonder which color(s) will replace it? My bet is Python Green, Lava Orange and/or Carmine Red? We will see.

They just started selling these cars, isn't it pretty uncommon to make a colour change mid-year? Are you saying they were always planning to discontinue in May but now pushed to August?

I hope not because mine is Miami blue and has not entered V260 yet.

Oh man, don't say that, I would love to have spec'd Carmine Red or Python Green!

Actually no... Lizard green was cancelled across the board... rumor has it was due to complications with quality? Thus the introduction of Python? All Miami Blue orders past V200 should be fine.

Thanks! I just googled python green and noticed a brighter green from 718 GTS 4.0 which I don't like. There is another PTS python green on 911 which looks lovely. Which one is it?

718 GTS 4.0... I wouldn’t judge colors from pics as camera processors can tweak colors... Example Miami Blue always tweaks to look more like Riviera Or Mexico blue... same with Chalk... changes more to white.

There is the Python Green Chromaflair that looks stunning. The "regular" python green is the one on the GTS 4.0. Still looks cool. Hope it makes it to 2021 on the gt4. If my build gets pushed back to 2021 I might consider it.

Configurator now is fixed and visually shows Aurum colored wheel option for the Spyder. Interesting that the crests are now silver black... more than likely due to the gold paint not matching the gold crest color. Debating on doing the below build versus Miami Blue?
