'Guards Red' is the other 'longest running' color movie at Porsche. Variations of 'White' have been offered almost every year...but that color formulation has changed over the years so it's very hard to call it a single color.

How many colors Porsche has used...lots!
MY1970 was probably the record for most offered as standard & special colors (30 in total). Plus quite a number of PTS individual requests.

From my perspective, until PTS was interrupted temporarily days ago, there has never been more color offerings by Porsche in its history as TODAY! If you take the standard & metallics offerings, the special colors and the four pages of PTS (see attached), nothing in Porsche history can beat that incredible selection! We are fortunate to have that choice...and in my estimation the $5,500 option price for PTS is the best value for money that Porsche offers its customers today...or at least, if offered until very recently!

*I don't include Gmunds in 1948 & 1949 because these were all paint customized since all were build for specific customers or importers.

wow - that black looks amazing!

I really hope that 918 is Java because that's still very orange and looks great. Id take it on the RS.

I hope we get at least 1 additional unique wow color, there really needs to be at least 2 true color options like the 997.1 RS had.

As of now color options will likely be on the RS:

1. White

2. Grey

3. Java Orange

4. ???
