For people that are interested, here's a video from German TV where you can see the Graphit grey car in the sun. (Video is in German, but he has nothing really interesting to say, so you don't miss anything if you don't speak german )

Thanks for posting that. I accidentally saw the tail end of this video on TV in Frankfurt last Monday. Back in the States on Tuesday, I tried but failed to find it posted online. Glad you did!

This video showed the graphite gray to better effect than the offical Porsche video or my real-life viewing in the museum garage. It looks great in the sun.

You're welcome

Personally I have mixed feelings about the color to be honest as I've seen it in person too now after a visit to Zuffenhausen. After seeing this video I really doubt if I like the car as much as I hoped I would.

Thanks Suzy for posting that video. The color is much uglier than I thought. Gonna have to go with the Monochrome Black even though upkeep of the black color is more time consuming. The wheels will look great on a black car.

Suzy, do you mean the 50th anniversary car in general or the color?

Suzy991

Especially the colors... Solid black I've never liked on any car and the Geyser grey is not really my cup of tea. It's not that Graphit grey is ugly, but I had hoped it would be a bit darker.
The interior on the other hand I liked very much. So I'm a bit on two sides now... Monday I will go see my salesman and decide what I will do.

I personally think the graphite gray looks pretty good, but I definitely prefer colors other than the grays/black offered.

I've been begging Sascha Glaeser to do whatever he can to talk headquarters into allowing paint to sample. He has me listed as an official PTS request. If others of you feel likewise, then please consider requesting PTS. The more requests, the more likely they are to decide to support it.

I will be asking my SA to put a request into Sacha as well for PTS in 3AS Turquoise Blue.

Suzy991

On a special edition? Not sure if they would do that... I definitly wouldn't if I was in charge there. My opnion is, that if one doesn't like the car as it is, one should order another one. They will sell them anyway.
But I'm not in charge, so maybe you're lucky and they will decide to support it if there are requests enough.

Suzy, Push your salesman for PTS. There are so many great colors in the Porsche palate. If we purchasers of the 991-50 put enough pressure on the dealers, maybe they will relent and let us PTS.

scubadiver637

Still many available 991-50 allocations in the Porsche dealerships surrounding the area in which I live.

Suzy991

Sorry, but I don't want PTS. I order it the way it is presented by Porsche or I don't order it. For me it's the one way or the other. Nothing in between.
(Yes I know... I can be a b***h sometimes LOL)

It's a very historic-looking color and the best of the 3 offered, IMO. But, if you've got any doubts, now's the time to have them, not after the car arrives. Color is such an emotional issue that if you can't have the car in a color that really "speaks" to you, maybe you need to reconsider the purchase altogether.

A girl has the right to change her mind, after all!

Suzy991

Yes indeed
In a way a like the color because it is indeed a historic-looking color, but I doubt if it is exactly what I want after seeing the car in person. I really want to be 100% sure.
Never been that indecisive before in my life before. LOL
