There was a photo of an anthracite brown with black wheels I posted in a thread a while back. It looked great and I considered it at one point. I may have gone with brown had it not been for the premium pricing on it.
I think the color is sick with black wheels! Nothing wrong with being different. My CWM is my first calm color ..........current M5 is Orange and last 911S was Aqua blue so CWM really appealed to me, but i do like the brown different. Whats wrong with brown when you have yellow on the street(: See my post above with the buy in the smurf blue mustang which gets frowned at, but if it was a P car he's a star. Get what you like I say.
Anthracite Brown is a pretty unique color that pictures often will not do justice to.
I've seen in it person on a 991 911 C2S, and while the thought of a brown car (no less a Porsche 911), was sort of beguiling to me, seeing it in person I could see the appeal. It's sort of a cross between Mahogany and Cognac. It has an overall nice rich hue and patina to it. Looks black in the shade and from a distance, but under the sun the brown really sparkles.
It's not for everyone (certainly not me), but it's a color that will certainly appeal to some.
FWIW, if I were spec'ing a Panamera, this might be the color I'd go for.
"might" because I'm not sure I'm going to sell it. The car is scheduled to arrive March 20. Contact me for a chat if you're interested. maz@singervehicledesign.com
High points are Lightweight Bucket Seats, PCCB, Front Axle Lift, and a handful of leather items stitched in platinum. The car is Anthracite Brown Metallic with black wheels. Here is the spec..
Maz - see my pics of mahogany metallic. Don't pass on it!!
OK who here got this car here in SoCal. I was at my shop dropping off car for some general maintenance and chatted briefly with the owner about the color - this car looks really nice live. Really nice. Super unique.
Today I sat in a 2015 GT3 with the sport bucket seats. They are a pain to get into and out of considering how low the GT3 sits. Once in, there is a lot of room around the shoulders especially for a guy my size 5'11" 165 lbs. causing me to move all over the seat. For me on a track I would be jostled every which way while driving.
Also, they are not at all comfortable since there are no adjustments to the seats. Other than appearance, one is better off with the standard seats considering the $5000 premium for the buckets.
I have no idea how one can drive in those seats for any length of time. You have to be a masochist to want them.
