I also saw this on instagram and i agree that it is probably the nicest green i've ever seen. If i were to PTS i would definitely get this color if possible.
I have spoken with the owner before. As someone earlier already mentioned, this is Oak Green Metallic (22L). An authorized complete respray done by a Porsche center in Moscow (name of the dealer escapes me). Car was originally White.

Just arrived back in Scottsdale!
Hm what is your opinion on the Arrow Blue repaint of the 911R done by a Rennlist member, or the "Worrange" repaint of an RS done by another? They were all received very positively in their respective threads, so I don't see how this repaint is any different...
If Beoliving or someone else in Europe could do us a
favor regarding information on this color & verify for
us its complete official name, color code & in what
market & models it is offered as a color option!
We have reported here in Rennlist for over a year the
appearance of this color on new Porsches in Europe.
We have been told that the name is 'Bamboo Green
Metallic' (color code Y76) and also goes by the German
name of 'mambagruenmetallic'.
Yet I don't see it listed anywhere officially. It does not
appear to be offered in North America by Porsche & I
can't seem to find it listed as a PTS in the latest approved
list (dated 4/2017) that I have seen.
So again, is this color being offered in Germany as a
regular 'Metallic' color option in the home market?
Or is it consider in Germany a PTS option? And if so,
where is it listed?
I am thinking of going with lava orange on my 2018 gt3 and was wondering how hard will it be to match this factory paint in the event where say a bumper might need to be replaced and repainted due to an accident?
Thanks

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. And here at
Rennlist most members are very polite. And rather
that rain on his/her parade, most Rennlisters have
elected to voice token support or simply not voiced
an opinion. So I don't know if you or anyone else
can take much comfort in what was posted in those
'repaint' threads.
All I can tell you is that it's an extremely expensive
alternative to the Porsche factory paint process. And
one that is technically inferior by definition. At the
start of the manufacturing process of a Porsche, the
empty metal shell is sprayed then the paint is cured
at very high temperatures to create the most durable
of paint finishes.
That is what a factory original paint is all about...
and that quality & durability will never be duplicated
by anything remotely being done in Reading UK or
elsewhere. As you saw, the leather dash & leather
panels & seats were all left in place during the
repaint. That offers a glimpse of the differences
for a start:
And if & when these cars are ever attempted to
be resold, the market will assess a penalty for
them not having their original paint. Trust me
on this.
As I see it, if you have that kind of money to burn
on a re-paint of a brand new Porsche, you will be
better off 'investing' just a small portion of those
surplus Euros/dollars prior in building up the
'influences' or 'contacts' necessary with PAG &
your country's importer to insure you get a PTS
Porsche done in a color of your choice at Zuffenhausen
in the first place! The game is a often a 'pain-in-the *ss'
to play...but persistence & due diligence often pays
dividends in time. And it will cost you much less
than any of these extremely expensive repaints!
But that is just one man's opinion. People are
entitled to do anything to their vehicles after
they purchase them.
Eduardo, maybe this 991.1 Turbo "Werkswagen" has the same color like the Turbo at the factory with the uncertain color code. This one was on sale at the dealer you had the pleasure the visit before. Porsche Bensberg near Cologne, Germany. This is the only dealer I know in Germany who really knows how the PTS game works as they order PTS cars for customers and the shop floor on a frequent basis.
Some more of a Oak green and the Bamboo Targa. This is a great dealer ship I highly recommend to visit as they always have spectacular colors on the lot. On top, the team at the welcome desk is very well informed of the colors and their names and have good opinions of them as they see the cars all day long. Had great chats with them which color to pick for my next GT3 :-)
Interesting report. I indeed did visit Porsche Zentrum
Bensberg in 2015 & it's indeed a great dealer for PTS.
***
Here is the mystery, Beoliving. 'Fuchsitgrün metallic' is
not listed in the 4/2017 approved PTS list. Can you get
from Bensberg a color code # for that car & perhaps ask
if by chance that color is listed by PAG under a different
name? And does it have a name in English?
And while you are at it, 'Bamboo Green Metallic' doesn't
show up either on the approved PTS list. We think is color
code is Y76. Could you double check that? And also ask
Bensberg, please, how is it that color can be ordered since
we don't see it on any PTS list.
And neither color is on the German PAG configurator, so it
doesn't appear to be German market-only colors!!
***
So I hope, Beoliving, that you see & understand why I am asking
these questions. I am confused.
