Who would have thought that Miami Blue, amber (side lights), yellow (Calipers) and red (rear brake lights) all work so well together.

That thing is one color away from being a Pride Flag on wheels.

it looks a LOT better in these pictures than on the configurator ... much less green, although it needs to be seen in direct sunlight to tell exactly what it
looks like ...

Well said. I've had silver and black 911's. The problem is my daily drivers are also typically silver or black. Nice to see some "gumball colors" on my weekend toys. Just my humble opinion, though

If you get it you need to order the Tequipment Continental Spare Tire option to complete the look.

"Gum Ball", this was an old term when I was kid in the 70's. I think the current lexicon might be "Skittle-colored", although I prefer "M&M-colored" myself.

" gum ball " is historically appropriate for this " gum ball " shaped model as that is what these flat colors were called by many of their owners when I was a teen and they were new ......current avail colors like Miami Blue are retro/homages to these " groovy " colored late '60s / early '70s 911s

20 years ago, I recall current GTx PTS darling Riviera Blue being the " premier color " used by many car mags ( remember those? ) on their cover stories on the new base model 993 ...I saw a few on the road the first year , then that color fell off the map , because non GTx 911s are daily drivers and there is a long -term-love difference between an " interesting " color and a " passionate " one ....

When I bought my first 911 (2008) my dealer sent a picture of it on the showroom floor. It was Speed Yellow and surrounding it were 911s in Gaurds Red and Carrara White with a RS Orange special edition Boxster thrown in for good measure. I can only imagine it is what a Porsche dealership would have looked like in 1975 (color-wise). Sadly, I have yet to find the picture.
