It wasn't out of the box. Changes made during month (1) made it so. (20) months later, still take it to get bread and butter.

I usually find most marketing to be hype...but in the case of Frozen Berry Metallic I agree it’ll look “unlike any other”. Lolz...

If they wanted to go fruity, then my vote would have been Cherry Red.

While I don't think Frozen Berry will look good on the GT4, I do think it would look killer on the Spyder. If I had a MY22, I'd seriously consider it for my build.

I don't disagree, especially with platinum wheels. I think it's one of those colors that rides the fine line between feminine and crazy cool. Porsche has had a few colors like that over the years. I do think it looks hideous on a low specced Taycan though. A color like that really needs an aggressively styled car underneath it to pull off cool.

Showed the FBM pics to CarChick. Her response:

“That’s a great color for sweaters and diagram cases. They should have called it ‘Diaphragm Case Metallic.’”

Tell her that was a very astute observation!

I was there Monday and saw that python green Spyder. It looks great - it's a very bold color. An interesting juxtaposition to the mamba green Macan nearby.

Finally, a render of FBM on a GT4.
TBH, I love unique colors.... but not sure i could pull this off even with a bunch of decals and black contrast.

I would have preferred they offer that Ultra Blue [?] color from the GT3rs back in 15/16. Was it ultra blue or ultra violet, reminded me of muppet purple

IT'S HAPPENING

Maybe more interesting than the color is that these are the official Porsche press kit photos of the Chinese market 718 Spyder. It is a Spyder that appears to have the Sport Design front bumper, the Sport Design rear bumper, puny little brakes, and I can only assume that it's a 4 cylinder car based on the exhaust...

Wow. All I can say is that they’re in the business of selling cars and pleasing their markets, that’s why we got a 4.0L

Do those look like a 19" version of the US GT4/Spyder 20" wheel design to anyone else?

This is a mess and I’m not talking about the color.
