Do not do Miami unless you see it in person first. It is a unique shade of blue and rarely photographs accurately.

When MB first came out, I was not a fan. That is, until I saw a Cayman GTS in it and then I thought it worked perfectly and I would say the same for MB on a GT4. Gorgeous and don't look back.

I would strongly suggest that you see it in person before deciding, your comment above, "but other looks more like Tiffany Blue (teal)." tells me that if your car looked this colour you would be less enthused?

Once it is painted there is no going back... I have always said colour is the toughest choice, good luck!

Okay going to dealer today to check out the color. Won’t be on a GT4 but RS. I should still get a good idea.

Archimedes

It is definitely a teal blue-green vs a pure blue or a purple blue.

Westcoast

That's what I see as well.

ok, so went to local dealer, although they did not have a GT4 in Miami Blue they did have a GT3RS in MB with some black accents...... I actually really liked it. The photos are way off and the camera just doesnt capture the color correctly at all. It is like the carribean ocean type of blue, definitely has some green hue to it but not in a bad way. It is closer to a baby blue than a pure blue or voodoo blue. Still very nervous about the color........

So did put in the order:

Miami Blue
Leather/Alcantara® Interior in Black with
Silver Stitching
Exterior Door Handles in High Gloss Black
"PORSCHE" Logo in Satin Black
6-speed Manual Transmission
Brake Calipers in High Gloss Black
Wheels 20" 718 Cayman GT4 Wheels
Wheels Painted in Satin Black Porsche
Bi-Xenon™ Headlights in Black with Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
Light Design Package
Adaptive Sport Seats Plus (18-way)Smoking Package
Luggage Net in Passenger Footwell
Seat Belts in Silver Grey Porsche
Sport Seats Plus Backrest Shells in Leather
Interior Trim in Carbon Fiber i.c.w. Leather Interior Porsche Exclusive
BOSE® Surround Sound System
Apple CarPlay® incl. Siri®

Nice build! Your exterior will be almost identical to my GT4. Are you going to keep the headlight washers satin plastic black? I opted to have them finished in gloss black to match the door handles.

oh snap......I really didnt think about that. Nice finishing touch. Thanks.

So, I finally managed to get out to the track and really get a feel for this thing. The track is Nelson's Ledges Road Course in Northeast Ohio.
To summarize the GT4's capability on track in 1 word: scary. Not scary as in "this thing will step out on you with 1 wrong input", but scary as in "I'm too scared to push this to its limit".



Photos of other cars at the event: ALBUM

I reset the G meter on the car at the start of the day, and ended with a max 1.3g lateral (left-right) and >1.0g braking. My shoulders, elbows, and kidney areas were sore the next day.
It had just stormed pretty heavily a couple hours before the day started, and I haven't tracked a car in 2 years (2018 - with my previous 718 2.0T) so I was a little rusty. The first session I only got 4 laps in because a Miata went in reverse into a tire wall (the gray one with the huge wing in the album). That first session as well, I had a "brown pants" moment where I braked a little too hard with too much speed and triggered ABS/ESC. I was slowly warming up and telling myself I was doing great.
I tried a couple braking zones with heel-toe and I "managed", but not to the level that I needed to in order to push the car more. I can run 80% of the course in 3rd gear, and only have to downshift in 1 place from 4-3-2 - needless to say, I quickly realized that auto-blip is amazing when I'm more worried about not running off the track. Those first 2 sessions I maxed out at 1.1g.

As the day went on and I got more input from the instructor, I became much more confident in the car and myself (and the track was mostly dried out at this point). My tires were getting good heat in them, and I was really feeling confident in the brakes. I was now able to throw it around the track at much more speed, continually pass others in my run group, and feel like I was pushing the car. I gained most ground through the corners and transitions from throttle -> braking -> throttle. I could carry and hold much more speed in the corners than most other cars. It did lack a little bit on the straights (only hit maybe 115mph) but more than made up for it in mountains of grip. It was during this time that I checked my max G forces again: 1.3g. A definite sign I was pushing it more
Not once during the day did I ever trigger ESC or TC to kick in - which means even as much as I threw it around, it still wasn't enough to break it loose.

I ended the day short (I could have had ~30-40mins more driving) mostly for myself (I was tired) and my car (I have to drive this home, and I don't want to eat into consumables). I'm not a regular track guy, and might see 1-2 days a year.
If I had to guess, I probably was at 9/10ths driving for myself, and at about 7/10ths for the car.

TL;DR - Car is good on track. Very good.

Can anyone confirm if the OP's Miami Blue rims are Satin Platinum?

iliveoncaffiene

OP here: Yes, they are whatever the standard (no option checked) color is, which is satin platinum.

FASTRKMAN

Thx for the thread iliveoncaffiene thought I would add some more MB wow. Just back from Xpel purgatory with ceramic tint to match

Polarporsche

Just got this one on Monday.

This thread is killing me.. just "picked up" a MB 2020 GT4.. I use the term since I completed the deal and finalized it all.. but it's currently winter in Canada which means the car is confined to storage for a couple months. Great spec was available and prices came off to the point I thought it made sense (time will tell). Either way.. going to be a tough couple months before I can get it out.
