Olso Blue is a beautiful color choice. But what surprised me the most is how small of a car the Carrera GT looks like parked next to the 718 Spyder. Maybe it's the angle of the photo, but the Carrera GT looks like the same size as a Spyder, maybe even slightly smaller than the Spyder...

That Oslo Blue reminds me a little of BMW Laguna Seca Blue - Oslo being a little less "teal".

Great colour @bbs993tt !!

I've only driven it 3 times but have gotten compliments about the color from random strangers each time out.

I have to say thank you to my SA and the GM at Park Place Porsche for getting me the allocation and coaching me through the process. They made me a deal that was more than fair, worked very hard to earn my business and make sure I was satisfied and overall, it was a great experience. Here are a few crappy iphone pics in different light.

Oslo Blue Spyder has always been my Holy Grail spec. You are a legend.

STUNNING!!.. Oslo Blue is looking good..
That may make me regret ordering a Voodoo Blue in simple GTS 40 instead of GT4/Spyder body..

I have the same effect with my Spyder and 991.2 GT3, I think the Spyder is actually larger the GT3!!!

I’m starting to think that PTS in the right color is a bargain

It must be the angle. The Carrera GT is 7" longer and 5" wider than the Spyder. But I totally see what you mean in the photos. What an incredible garage.

I am starting to think PTS is a bargain on any GT cars too.

Exterior only looks better with age while interiors always look dated after a while. So, CXX is not as appealing to me as a result.

Thanks again for all the kind words, and yes, the cgt is considerably larger. Probably lens distortion on the iphone or something making it look smaller. Took the Spyder in for PPF this afternoon and managed to get some "sun" pics as requested. Enjoy.

Love it! Also glad to see that the Satellite wart is also painted in PTS color and not left as black as I believe the 911 Touring did. I know people were saying that it's painted but this is the first actual US car that I've seen for confirmation.

Keep the pictures coming! How about the interior?

Also, when you have a chance, do you mind checking around your car to see if it has anything to confirm/identify the PTS color and/or color code? AFAIK, the Monroney sticker doesn't actually say the color/color code so wondering if anywhere on the car actually has the color/color code identified?
