Default First Sneak Peek of Shark Blue

You see the Shark Blue color in the door jams of the yet to be released 992 GT3 sneak peak... further confirms the sharing of VW Cornflower Blue... which has the same paint Code. Additionally you also see the new Full Bucket seats and new Faux Manual Shifter PDK!

Thanks! Sharp color, but I hope that faux-manual doesn't get Porsche-wide adoption.

Disagreed. Poor design is still better than faux design.

Staying away from fakery such as fake vents is an important part of the Porsche brand.

Couldn't agree more...one of the reason I hate GMs design....they are still in the Transformer mentality that make cars age instantly.

That car has one yellow caliper and one red as well. Are they mix matching PCCB with iron now too? Nope, just like they’re not putting manual look shifters in PDK cars.

it’s a test car so not 100% and still has camo. Time will tell.,, but my gut tells me that shifter is legit.

I agree - Transformers - cars not disguised as toys!

Not sure I agree... they are two completely different colors, but color is VERY subjective. Shark is basically something between Riviera Blue and Voodoo. Miami on the other hand is a very unique color different than any other Porsche color. It will be very much like what happened with Chalk... it killed PTS demand for Fashion and Sport Classic Grey... I see the same thing happening with Shark... Riviera and Voodoo numbers will decline for PTS.
