Default Color Selection
The new GT3 offers 16 colors plus Custom Color

The Spyder/GT4 offers only 11 colors plus Custom Color

Why no Lava Orange for the GT4? or Agate Grey for the Spyder?

because...

it's Porsche

Frozen Berry Metallic seems like the oddest color choice of all

why add it to the GT4/Spyder but not the GT3?

inquiring minds want to know, calling Eduardo!

Lava orange would look magnificent on the GT4.

911s, Boxsters, Caymans are made in the same production line in Zuffenhausen.

GT designated models also come off the same production line.

Osnabrueck also produces Caymans, including GT4s. There will be a K in the VIN as opposed to S.

Just another way for Porsche to squeeze out a few bucks thru PTS.

There is zero chance I would NOT order this if it was offered (besides through PTS).

Agate Gray?! Yuck. I would rather have a White one, or maybe even Black over that color!

yeah I am not a fan, there is a little too much "brown" in it for my tastes.

Agate is a great color in my opinion. Very subtle and not flashy at all. Black looks awesome on Spyder as well, it must be a pain in the *** to keep it clean though lol!

Agate Gray has always been a favorite color of mine - would have loved to get the Spyder in that color, but there's no way that I'm paying PPS prices for a standard Porsche color for other Boxster/Cayman/911 cars.
