IIRC there is a dark brushed aluminium option, and the leather is certainly close if not exactly like matte black, @UncleDude has it in his Spyder, looks great.

So sorry, I was talking about the rest of the trim... doors, console and dash not the steering wheel.

Can some one tell me how the Shark blue compares to Club Blue?

in some photos they seem very similar. In some the shark blue looks dark and in others it looks light like Smurf blue.

which photos are accurate? I don’t have either color close to me for me to see.

If you google “Porsche Shark Blue vs (insert blue)” and search images lots of posts…many from RL.

There are several PTS colors that are way to close to Shark and Miami for me

IIRC VooDoo is very close, Club Blau is deeper but same family.

Check out Rennbow…

Depending on lighting and camera exposure , they all look similar . I wanted to buy a previously owned GT3. On the internet they all look similar.

I tried googling shark va club but came up empty

Took delivery of my GTS on Christmas Eve morning and have put about 100 miles on it so far. This was my first time driving a Porsche and about ten years since I’d last driven a manual. It was surprisingly easy to drive. Absolutely love the car so far. The view out over the hood is excellent. This color is beautiful out in the sunlight. Tint done today and ceramic coating on Wednesday.

REALLY nice! Yes, I find it an extremely easy manual to drive. In general, an easy car to drive, even at speed. Enjoy it! Love the interior too.
