The PTS 'green' Turbo S Cabrio at the Parade is 'Viper'. This was told to me by Sascha Glaeser on Monday. I am surprised 'Viper' has so much blue in it...well, maybe not so much after looking again at the photos I took of the official color samples kept by 'Porsche Exclusive' in Zuffenhausen last year!

Although remember what I always tell you - photos almost never capture the true color as seen by the human eye!

Saludos,
Eduardo

Eduardo, Thanks for posting the find. I realize that Porsche created this car for the options and seeing the sticker helps when preparing to order additional options if I have questions in the future.

Personal taste is that...personal. Im matters of custom ordering your Porsche, take any advice of Sascha, Eduardo, or anyone else, with a grain of salt! Follow your gut feeling & create something that truly appeals to you!

If you mean this 991 (photo 1 below), it's is actually ''Lichtgrün'! In English it's Light Green/Birch Green. But the camera didn't capture its truer color (photos 2 & 3). In person, 'Lichtgrün' is less vibrant than what was capture by the camera's lenses that day! But it's a very striking color nevertheless...and I love it!

Man I would burn that TTS with fire! Perhaps if the interior was done with more thought, and the car was a GT3 with flag decals, it would be nice.
IMO greens should either be pure green, yellow hue or dark / gray hue. Not an hint of blue works well with green (again, just my opinion).
The Lichtgrün example is beautiful though!! Anything special in the interior or that one? Matching stitching would be killer on that..
