Default Mexico Blue / Riveira Blue GT3 991.2

Hi Guys,

I have been reading your posts for many years and i still do. I have always been conservative ordering porsches. I have a 991 carrera s in white and a jet black metalic cayenne GTS.

A year ago i placed a deposit for a new GT3 which i am hoping will be released in Geneva 2017. This time i am planning to order PTS colour. My porsche dealer got for colour plates as samples. Mexico, Riveira, voodoo and miami blue.

I am definately not doing miami and not keen on voodoo blue

I got 3 to 4 months to decide until car get released but really want to get my head around it now

Mexico or Riveira and also interior and seat belt colours. Any input from current blue porsche owners would be muchly apprecited

MB and RB are very similar to each other. Only time you would notice a difference is if they are parked next to each other.
Can't go wrong with either. My preference is RB.

I have been fortunate to see the blues you mention, my personal favorite is Golf Blau. However, if choosing between Riviera and Mexico, I would go Mexico.

Good luck, regardless!

You understand the vagaries around ordering PTS, right? For every model, there are extremely narrow windows in production where PTS is allowed. These windows are not broadcast in advance and never last for more than a few weeks or so at a time. If your production lines up with these windows, then PTS is possible. Otherwise, you'll end up with the much more common paint option that most of us end up with: SOL.

I'd go Mexico

...but I have a better chance of sleeping with Taylor Swift and winning the lottery on the same night than you winning the PTS lotto.

Mexico, Miami, Riviera, VooDoo, in that order. Best of luck in the challenge of first getting a .2 then landing a PTS slot.

Make sure you don't forget about:

Gulf Blue
Maritime Blue
Golf Blue

Three of my favorites.

My old 356 was an incredible color called Oslo Blue. I'd love to see someone PTS in that color. It was incredible in the sunlight. Very much in the same color family.
