What are the numbers on Aventurine Green for the GTSs? Do you know?

as for racing yellow, I saw a new one in Durham a couple years back and it was way more stunning than I could have imagined especially with racing yellow deviated stitching and black wheels.

Sadly, all the methods of retrieving information 'of VIN' were taken down over the years, and since the begging of 2022 there wasn't a 'known method'.
Some great statistics were provided by different users like @wizee, but they all seem to be somewhat incomplete, especially for the second half of 2022.

I will provide more data the more I work on this, this is just a snippet I wanted to share.
I plan to analyze GT4, GTS as well as LWBS, PCCB, interior color, wheels color, headlights, etc.

Anyways, here are all the 4.0 liters that were imported to North America (USA + Canada):

I appreciate this effort very much. Thank you! I'm still a bit confused as to the source of the data for the period after Porsche cut off the availability of the VIN search portal that was being used. Did you find a new source in your "research"? How did you find the missing data, and do you know that it is really "complete" for all of the 2022 model year? And looking ahead, does this mean that you will be able to source similar data for the 2023 model year?
Again, thanks very much for doing all of this.

If Porsche won't introduce new restrictions (such as captchas, for i.e.) to my source, then I will.
Prefer not to answer the rest of the questions for obvious reasons.

Shark Blue first became available for 2022. My wife took one look at it and said "oh, THAT'S hot!" I changed my order from AvGreen to Shark. I think mostly she hated the AG. Then once locked, she was worried it was too bright. Still thinks it's too bright. I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with it!

Now I've got a 911T on order in Python Green. She's pushing for Chalk. PG it is! LOL

If I want to go unnoticed, I'll take my A5 for a drive, it's white.

You’ll LOVE the PG, I predict. Your wife, maybe not as much. Here’s a gt3 with pg over yellow accents

I have a Python Spyder on order, but if my wife would agree to Ruby Star Neo I would probably switch to a BGTS. LOVE that color, but all she sees is pink. Haha!

in real life its closer to magenta ... and I agree if I were spec'ing a new car rubystar w/aurum wheels would be my choice too

I'd be curious to see how many Spyders were produced in an enthusiast/lightweight spec(LWB's, PCCB's, 6MT). Per my calculations for the 2020/2021 data that was available it was only about 70 Spyders per year.

I think the previous effort w/spreadsheets detailed this, at least the transmission, brakes and seats...

my Spyder is one such.

For now, I don't have a way to determine MT\PDK - I can, however, get LWBS\PCCB (as well as some other data).
The previous spreadsheets relied on vinanalytics.com.
This can no longer be done for two reasons:
1. They introduced a powerful captcha gatekeeper
2. Some of the VINs are no longer free

I extracted some more information which I will introduce soon once I process it
