Default 2016 911 Lava Orange Now Available To Order

Hello Guys,

Our internal builder just updated with Lava Orange now an available color to paint the 991 series. It is the same price as GT Silver and it looks like Lime Gold is disappearing after July....

Brett: Is there any indication PTS program has been revamped/improved? If they are taking PTS for June production allocations, does this mean MY2016 .2 991 starts to be built in June of 1014 and deliveries expected this summer? Is 'Lime Gold Metallic' the only color dropped? Give us as much info as you can on this topic. Thanks.

Saludos,
Eduardo

I'm surprised they are allowing this GT3RS color to be used on the other 911s. I love the color, but if I were a GT3RS owner with a Lava Orange car, I'd be pissed if non-GT3RS could have the same color.

Seems bizarre.

Maybe the internal builder for that color was referencing the RS and not the "street" 991's I assume??

Who knows though! I don't think any one color was exclusive to any one model other than some special editions possibly.

big deal .....it is orange .. like a bunch of new Corvettes and Camaros and look at the new Chargers on the road ...seems like half of them are " 1970 " purple, orange or green ..its a good thing .

Porsche should make silver, white, black or grey PTS to disincentivize them so that there appears to be more than one 911 in each town !

Lava Orange already up and available on the German website online configurator. Appears to be the only change. And lime gold is still there.

Yuck!

Your Sapphire Blue is MUCH better looking than the "tangerine" color!

Just saying...
