It's a solid. I see a slight touch of green/grey also in it. I've seen it and I like it.

I'll take my lowly sapphire blue over Miami any day! And it looks fantastic on the GT3 as well!

I'm mixed on Miami. Very bright and fun color. I don't know if it will be a classic like Mexico or Riviera. With all the blues, PCCB and yellow stitching are the best match, but I think red calipers and red stitching are more than fine. I'd avoid red seat belts and, if possible, remove the seat stripes. Otherwise too much red.
If I could get PTS Riviera, I'd go with red stitching and iron rotors.

I am planning Miami with black wheels and iron. Looks great imo. Also red switching and red belts. I think it would look nice. Eduardo posted before that he likes Miami, and while color is strictly preference based, it helps knowing that our expert likes it.

I​​​​s the roof wart standard on us car? I hope not

I saw five cars in MB at the Bellevue Porsche dealer last month, Boxster, 911, Turbo etc. I did NOT like it. Maybe it looks better on the RS, but i agree, see it in person first!

Question for everyone. I'm getting full leather and iron brakes either way, but I"m thinking that the red stitching might clash a bit with a miami blue exterior???
if you are going with the Standard brakes I recommend black wheels. The brake dust is going to turn them black any way

Question on color. I thought chalk was a flat color but was told from my dealer
that it is metallic. Anybody know for sure or seen it in person. Heard it was a
Panamera color. Think that I would like it flat but not as a metallic.

Chalk..or Crayon as it's called in Europe...is a flat colour. Not a metallic.

You know that colour when you were mixing paints and school, starting with white and just chucking a bit of everything in.

Thumbs up .. Dealer called to say I'm 99% confirmed.... Now to get serious with the configurator and change my mind several times over the next few weeks. Ideal would be a PTS Irish Green / Manual/ Alu Wheels... . all the things that would push me back down the line again .. damn ! .

It shouldn't come as a surprise that its the case but I cant believe they wouldn't have worked out there would be a buzz around a manual option so why the related delays ???

Guards Red...but don't trust these photo shopped/enhanced photos. In reality guards red is a bit lighter than these photos convey.

To be honest that's not great news for me, as the .1 can already be an issue to drive on big SoCal speedbumps and acroos steep gutters/driveways.

The bright side is that the front axle lift now raises the car 40mm on the .2 GT3 compared to raising it 30mm on the .1 GT3.

I think the front axle lift should be standard equipment on the .2 GT3. This car will be freaking low, and was already lower than the RS or GT4.
5mm is 2/10ths of an inch. Just sayin'....

Yes, hint of turquoise. Very difficult to get a true representation of Miami Blue in on-line photos.
