A RL pic of Riviera and Mexico. Miami looks similar to a muted Riviera with more yellow in these pics. However, if one were to put the paint chips next to each other I'm guessing they are quite different.

sorry to be lazy and not read back through the thread... are we sure that Miami Blue will be a standard color offering on 2016+ RS cars?

No Miami is available only if you already have PTS agreed. I changed mine from Mexico last week to Miami. Really liking the show pics, quite bright images under the lights, the sample I saw was definitely like Riviera but a shade darker.

Miami looks much better to me in those pics than the paint sample. Makes me question if I should switch from Mexico to improve the build/delivery timing. That being said, I have seen Mexico in the flesh and know it like it, and Miami is still a true unknown. Plus, I worry Porsche is going to start building Miami cars in the regular line-up (a la LO), which in my eyes makes it less special down the road. Either way, I think Miami is starting to look like a pretty attractive option for those wanting something non-standard and unique (at least in the short term).

Miami, Lava and Carmine are the three current Special colors on the 991.2 configurator. So I would say that's pretty good evidence without actually trying to order one for them. Not sure if they'll change the RS colors when UV officially disappears.

Agreed, that's the only reservation I really had.. love Mexico, really liked the Miami after a while. Like the pics of it (although very bright under those show lights). Shame that miami will be available on regular cars, but think the RS will look amazing in Miami Blue. Should save me maybe 3-4 months of waiting too..

Miami Blue Weissach Test Car GT4 (color comfirmed).Riviera and Mexico looks much better (my opinion).
Even my wife don't like it,and she loved my ex Riviera 993.

If true, that is very interesting information. How was it verified? I saw that car in person during my visit to Zuffenhausen on July 17th.
And I assumed it was 'Riviera Blue'. We have discussed this car before in the gt4 forum:

https://rennlist.com/forums/gt4/8822...t-pts-gt4.html

But if indeed both this gt4 and the Frankfurt show 991 cabrio are 'Miami Blue', it would make perfect sense!

So Evo has confirmed via their show video that the 911 Cab is in fact Miami Blue.

Much prefer the graphite blue they showed on the 911 coupe....

Thanks RSGT. Good enough for me. Wish I lived her Weissach.

Eduardo,

enjoyed your PTS threads very much and ordered my Boxster Spyder in Signalgreen 22S

First choice was Viper but after seeing it in real,it has has little bit to much yellow in it and I changed to Signalgreen.

I know Signal 22S from some 964´s and hope it was the right decision.

Seems to me that Signal has more yellow in it than Viper. Viper to me looks like it has a slight hint of blue in it. Maybe just my poor old eyes.
