The rumor floating around RL was that a new GT3 color Shark Blue will replace it later this year. But who really know? Probably put out as fake news.

There was a 2021 order guide put out for the 992 that mentioned Miami Blue would be unavailable for allocations after August 2020. So, whether this translates over to the Cayman or not we don't know for sure... but it's highly probable.

Congratulations! Looks absolutely awesome! I love colors such as these. I'm offered, yet again, an allocation; this time for September. I'm still debating whether to take it or wait for later. If Miami Blue is still available, I'll definitely take the offered allocation. This color rocks!

These photos have sold me on MB....... I have seen MB on a base 718 but it just looks way better on the GT4 but then again everything just looks better on the GT4 (not that the base 718 is a bad car).

Really disappointed that the 718's leather wheel doesn't keep the stitching. Makes no sense to me.

The color alone is a good portion of my obsession with it right now
The parking lot is just wading in a sea of drab colors: dark blue, gray, beige, white, black - all of them an SUV/CUV/commuter compact. Getting to open my garage and see something that vibrant and colorful is so enjoyable. I have a smile before I even get in it

I wasn't a fan of Miami Blue until I saw a 991.2 GTS in MB in person at work, and it's just LIGHTS OUT! Still not 100% sold on it on the 718 (even the Spyder/GT4) but I'm sure when I see it, I'll have a different feel. The lines of the 911 bring out the best in MB IMO.

Make sure that you see MB in person before you go with it. MB rarely photographs accurately, particularly in direct sunlight. You really need to see it in person to make sure you like it. It looks very different than most of the pics in this forum.

I have seen it in person on a gt3rs and loved it and seen it on a 718 base car did not love it; anyone it Texas with MB..... but since it wont be around by time my gt4 goes into production guess I can start trying to figure out what "shark blue" looks like. Unhappy
