Default Amethyst Metallic PTS

Hi all,
I just got a build allocation for my GTS and I'm on the fence with getting it painted Amethyst Metallic. I've seen several pictures online that are either amazing or not so amazing, depending on the lighting. My wife and I stopped by a dealership this past summer to look at a sample. We took it outside in the sunlight and although we liked it, we didn't think it was worth an extra $12K. However, it was only a small square and not a whole car. I keep looking at some of the pictures online in the light and am wondering if I'm going to regret not getting it. Does anyone in the Maryland/DC/Northern Virginia/Southern Pennsylvania area happen to have a car painted in this color that my wife and I could come and see in person?

IIRC this is a standard colour on Panameras and also was on 997s. Might get more responses on either of those forums?

Whether it is worth it to you is really up to you. It is a gorgeous colour though. (Note: I'm prejudiced towards all purples.)

My local dealer had one this year, looked nice, better in person but I never saw it outside.

I don't care for it $13k more than the available colors on the configurator, but PTS is more about being unique and creating something special than it is making financial sense. It certainly meets those standards. And I feel like the GTS 4.0 is worthy of PTS.

I'm a fan. I also like the color: ultra blue or is it ultraviolet? Good Luck on your build and congrats on what is going to be an excellent car. Post pictures okay!?

Looks almost the same colour as BMW's new "Thunder Night Metallic"
