Saw this on the service line at Park Place in Dallas and it was love at first sight. Hadn't seen an Agate GTS, but I think that's my color. Now, just have to find one.
Curious if the new owner is on this forum. If so, great build. 7MT. Love the duck too! PM me if you are ever selling.

And is it "ah-got-tay" or "ah-get" grey?

Gorgeous color, almost ordered it myself, but it turns very brown in sunlight. It's "a-gate". Where the a is like in apple.

I've heard that before, but I have yet to seen brown tones on mine, even on the brightest day.

" A - git " , a volcanic crystalline rock as found in Agate Bay , the next bay over , here in North Lake Tahoe , which itself was formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago .

I've had it on both of my 911s. It looks great, it does not show dirt as much as some colors, and it is very masculine (in my opinion, anyway). I have never seen a hint of brown in it, and I live in sunny So Cal. Colors lie in the eye of the beholder, perhaps.

There is an Agate car in my neighborhood. I live in So Cal. At twilight it does show brown shades to my eye.

So, when there is a lot of red in the light it will appear brownish. I still think it looks bomb, though.

There is also an agate driver that goes to my gym. Under blue-ish light it looks very, very grey.

It's a great color for sure, and was my #1 choice.

They had one at Plano Porsche last week when I was picking up some Santa Gifts. I think it had PDK instead of 7MT. They still show it in inventory on their website. Stunning car.

interesting that with the ducktail the engine cover reverts to the standard one and not the black one w/ horizontal bars shown on the cab above.

There's a bit of brown when the light hits it at just the right angle. Here's my Agate Grey C2S at Rennsport Reunion earlier this year. I happen to love the slight hint of brown. Note the Seal Grey 996 in front of me with no brown even in the same lighting conditions.

It's a great colour. The arguable hint of brown sets off the red calipers and hints at volcanic origins!

Perfect Color! Agate is my favorite standard color for the 991.1! Local doc and friend got an Agate Grey GTS, with pdk, sunroof. Perfect Daily driver! saw him yesterday with the car, half hour later i saw a white GTS parked here. Agate is working 50x times better for me on the car. Enjoy all your nice 991's! 👍

I definitely see the brown undertone, and the picture with Seal Grey points it out clearly. Much the same as GT Silver may not look brown to you in isolation, but park it next to Rhodium or Platinum or Polar and they look like a light blue and GT looks like taupe.

It's a pretty color for sure. Personally I go for brighter colors as black, silver, and gray 911's are dime a dozen, but to each his own.

Nice color, although I'm partial to meteor gray, which I believe has much more metal fleck. The place I really saw the brown tones in agate was in the leather interior, much more so than with the paint color.
