Thanks for sharing. I've probably picked up on your car build by reading some of your posts and the details you've already shared but thank you for "officially" sharing here. By the way, this thread is for PTS (custom paint) as I also have a non-PTS thread for people to share their builds. No big deal. I've updated your build with some more details. Can you share what color interior you have?
Changed title for you…can adjust to your druthers just PM me.

Very nice. Thanks for sharing. I've added you to the database and it looks like you're the only reported Bahama Yellow in the world (at least according to my spreadsheet.) Is this a brand new allocation you got or have you had an allocation for a while and you finally just got production information/schedule?
.................. Is this a brand new allocation you got or have you had an allocation for a while and you finally just got production information/schedule?
This is a new allocation; and, my 3rd. I turned down the first two allocations for the reasons including lack of availability of Bahama Yellow. This color was added recently.
Crazy story is, I didn't even know I had an allocation and locked! The sales guy was traveling out of town; and, the dealer got an unexpected allocation. Without calling me, they just loaded my build I gave a year ago! Then the build got locked in 3 days, probably because of PTS!! The sales guy returns, sends a mail, "hey, congratulations on your new Porsche order"! Wait, what? Did I order one? And, which one? I was on two lists: Spyder and 992 GTS Cab. At some point, I actually got turned off of Spyder and made up mind to go for the GTS Cab. Mentally, I was all set to get the Cab. The sales guy didn't remove me from the Spyder list, then locked me in! They also left a couple of options out when entering. I didn't get a chance to review the year-old build specs and add any new options from MY23 Configurator. Had to call PCNA to unfreeze the build to add a couple of options. Still, didn't wanna make any significant changes for fear of messing up the allocation. Even today, a discrepancy exists between the build sheet given to me by PCNA and what dealer sees in the system; the dealer isn't seeing the options added by PCNA. Overall, it was a total f*% up! Hard to believe these guys make a living, selling premium products with such a level of incompetency! These guys are total f*$%ing morons!
We have created a new Vineyard Region PCA group in Temecula California. Hope to also see you at some of our events-- I am dual member - also with San Diego Region-Watch for the Shark Blue cars with all sorts of stripes --
Just finished my build for a 2023 Panamera 4 Executive hybrid — wow- that is a mouth full.
Kind of crazy because When I was at the Porsche museum in Stuttgart several months ago the two cars that Caught my eye because of their color was a 911 turbo and a Panamera. There was no color identification on either and they seemed like the same color- a great looking metallic blue. I asked a docent what color was on these two cars and he came back in thirty minutes - found me in the museum - and the color was Sapphire blue. Which was a stock color of course a few years ago on both 911’s and the Panamera. My wife also thought it was a great blue color.
then I saw a Porsche Carrera GT in the Pirsche dealer in Saltzburg Austria ( rented 911 cab died) and again that color was also Sapphire Blue.
when I was configuring this 2023 Panamera Executive for my wife She asked about this color and I told her it was an old stick color replaced by shark blue. I was telling the SA about my wife wanting this old blue metallic and lamenting that it was not available.
But he says “ that is an available PTS color for the Panamera and is even on the new PTS list on the configurator. My wife was listening to the call and said she wanted the color- and oddly was not deterred by the $11,500 additional charge. Sort of annoying to pay that much for a color that was only around $3,000 upcharge just a few years ago.
I did see an article that was gathering voting on favorite Porsche colors and this Sapphire blue was the top voted color for a blue metallic.
The car is ordered with chalk and black interior with the extended speed blue stitching and body colored side mirrors also. The inside trim is brushed aluminum and the steering column in leather with speed blue stitching. Racetex headliner in chalk and the steering wheel in black racetex.
These are mock-ups from the configurator -
and some pics of the 918 Carrera also in Sapphire blue—
