Great color choices! Interior wise, I like the cars that have the different color stitching, and trim painted to match the exterior. I am not sure of the latest Spyder interior choices but I have seen past Spyders with multi color interiors that were really nice. I think it was blue/black, black/white and some other color combinations. The black wheels look great on the solid/bright color cars. Please post pictures and details when you get it.
Scratch this... Porsche removed it from the Canada configurator. PTS is available in some European markets though... Strangely, Germany isn't one of them.
I had the opportunity to spend some time with the lovely Melissa Witek the other day and she mentioned she recently ordered a maritime spyder for display at PCNA. I can't wait to see it. Hopefully it means that PTS is coming back to 981 aoon (but not GT4 unfortunately...)
I asked her if an when PTS would be available. She said she didn't know when it would be available for the GT4. I asked her if I should wait on my GT4 allocation for PTS and she didn't think it was a good idea. I got the sense that PTS would be a no-go for the GT4. Who knows what the true story is these days with Porsche and PTS...
so if I understand correctly, all the green check marked colors are tried and tested and available as PTS colors? that's a lot of choices.. pretty cool!
i wish there was a similar repertoire of color samples associated so we could see what they look like. going a google search with the word "porsche" and then the color yields a variety of hues.. tough to know which ones are even accurate.
PTS color samples coming to PCNA's two 'Porsche Exclusive' US 'showroom' offices!

CAlexio: There is a longer discussion about this topic in this other thread at the gt3 forum. Let me quote the relevant parts that might help with your 'wish'!

I think that is a tall order...but will be happy to see it if true.
In general, PAG doesn't encourage folks to order PTS based on photos or other representations from their employees due to legal liability issues. It's a 'Paint to Sample' program at heart...the initiative has to come from YOU. This is so when you get your PTS custom ordered vehicle, you can't blame anybody else but you if you don't like it! At present, the issues with feasibility studies that take a long time to get approved (or rejected) has led to more folks simply ordering from colors already tested & approved for other customers...such as 'Diamond Black Metallic' or 'Riviera Blue'! For all we know, your desired 'Diamond Black Metallic' sample might already be on the 'Wailing Wall' at Zuffenhausen (see below)...we just don't know.

He nevertheless did mention that a full set was on its way (in the shape of small porsches ) so some of you lucky guys might see it at some point.
Eduardo, a big thanks for all the help you are providing all around the globe...more important Porsche should be the one thanking you somehow. i find it very surprising there are no color samples associated with the PTS approved list...online search is often limited.
Is it possible to have a (as complete as currently possible) labeling of the last pic you posted? Thanks again

One of us Rennlisters will show up soon at Zuffenhausen & hopefully be able to document each & every color on that wall! But just remember that PAG does NOT encourage anyone to choose a PTS color based on these photos...since the latter can often misrepresent how the hue is seeing by the human eye. So it's to be use only a general guideline to establish broad parameters as to what palette is 'liked' or 'preferred'. For example, the vivid 'greens' on the wall are hard to tell apart from this photo. And it will be difficult for such a picture to assist anyone trying to decide if they should order 'Viper', 'Signal Green', 'Pure Green', 'RS Green' or whatever other color one of these samples might be!
thanks I had seen this... the hilarity of this color wall though is that they don't provide names go to with it. It's like they want you to go nuts playing detective... what good are a bunch of samples without names attached?
I'm going to go to my SA and say, "I'd like fourth row down, 6 from the left please"
