i felt the same for Lava Orange, i had almost fixed the order when the local dealer showed me a paint sample, I had seen it on a GT3 RS in London and had loved it, but in the harsh Indian sunlight, it looked faded, so i went for Miami Blue instead, and dont regret it.

EU configurator is still MY2018. I believe it will update soon.

I quite like it. Almost as nice as graphite grey. Almost.

I love GBM. Almost picked it over MB on my incoming GT3. Sorry to see it go. Those with it just saw their car's value increase.

Graphite blue should be available for the 992. If not it will be there as PTS.

I love this color too

I liked It a lot, too, and thought it actually looked much better in person than in photographs.

I may get one someday but this one I find very pleasing!

I believe a CGT owner w/ 997 4.0, 991.2 GT3, multiple 964 and classic Porsches lives in your area.

Saffron Yellow Metallic is not there in the configurator also for the Turbo S.

Looks like 992 transition is underway
