Eduardo, do you know what green that is on the 918 next to the hippie version?

Jonathan: I was told it was 'Acid Green Metallic'.








That is a color not yet requested, nor approved, for the
regular 991/981 series.

I love acid green, but not metallic.

rsman

The color is acid green pearl not acid green metallic and was specially formulated for the owner of that 918 and I believe is the only 918 in the world in that color.

Thank you for the clarification, rsman.

How does one go about requesting a color being added to the list? I like that acid green pearl even better than gelbgrun.

Z356

A) You normally submit a request for your own Paint to Sample
color with a custom order for a PTS Porsche. In certain cases
when your dealer knows you well as a customer, a color will be
requested BEFORE an actual order is placed. In either case, a
sample of your requested color is provided by you to PAG & they
begin a feasibility study via their paint suppliers. That could take
a year or more.

B) In this case, the 'Acid Green Pearl' was already tested & approved
for the materials used on a 918. Thus, there is a good chance it
will be also approved for the various metal & plastic panels of a
991/981. But what is not known is PAG willingness to share that
color with the general customer base. In the case of another 918
approved color, 'Sport Classic Grey', it was mysteriously allowed to
be ordered by a few clients on the 981 Spyder & perhaps other
models without ever making it to the 'approved' PTS list. But that
was a Porsche color previously done for one of its own Limited
Edition models. In the case of 'Acid Green Pearl', PAG might have
promised the VIP 918 owner that his color would not be shared
with others via PTS for a number of years. It's hard to tell without
asking the appropriate authorities at PAG.

So that is a short tutorial on requesting a PTS color added to the
list. Good luck!

OH SH$T, here comes a heavy dose of AC. You knew it would come.

AC are you sure your car is on the Queen Ace? Marine Traffic shows the Queen going to the Panama Canal and it's not listed in PWL's shipping schedule.

Dr. G

Vantablack, anyone?

I'm sure it will. You probably have everything ready and just need to push the "Submit New Thread" button.

Loess

It the shipping logistics company that most Porsche's and VW's seam to run through.

Very surprised at how many PTS were allowed .

Not sure if you heard but CNN just had a breaking news reporting Queen Ace with many exotic german cars sank in the middle of the big storm we are seeing in CA. Sorry to break the bad news specially to AC with his PTS car on board. This is truly saddening to say the least.
