Hi everyone,

I just ordered a 991.2 on Sat. I wanted to get some opinions on the colours.

I got the Jet Black metalic with black/bordeaux interior.

However, my favorite colour is the Night blue metalic. I don't like a plain black or pain grey interior that I think would go with the blue.

What do you guys think of the Night blue + black/bordeaux?

Go for it!!!!

I placed an order for a 991.2 cab and am going with Sapphire Blue, Blue top, and the Black/Bordeaux interior.

I don't think it works. I'd go with espresso/cognac.

+1 for espresso / cognac. Alternatively, if it is a coupe then graphite blue / chalk might be a good (new) alternative.... but not with a cab

rxtrom

+1 again for the espresso

I stole these from another thread...

I'm also partial to blue with cognac/espresso (mine is here: https://rennlist.com/forums/991/8730...t-the-gts.html), but I like blue with red very much. These days, I think it's a very "American" look, but blue with red is a very historic combination for Porsche.

Expresso is always gorgeous. Mine is a 991s Midnight Blue with... wait for it....Yachting Blue interior. It works super well IMO.

Oops, missed the one with the Yachting.

dark bue exterior with blue top and two tone red is a great combo. I saw one in person( c4s cab) and it looked amazing , something a configurator can never show how it really looks in person

Larry Cable

you are replacing the current cab???

Jeffdehr

Yes! I have 8 months left on my 36 month lease on the '14 991.1 C4S Cab. Taking advantage of the 12 month pull ahead program. Getting a '17 991.2 C4S Cab. Going from PDK to manual so my monthly payment is going down! Car is due mid May.

I recently traded in my 997 C4. It was midnight blue over cocoa, most comparable to night blue over espresso on the current car. I had never seen one before in that color combo, and haven't since. It was very elegant and overall I was very pleased with how it looked, but once in a while I thought is was unexciting. I always received compliments from Porsche salespeople and from the guys in the service department. None of them had seen it in person either. I'm currently waiting for a new C4 (in April). I'm leaning toward GT Silver with full black leather, but I can't seem to get over the idea of going with graphite blue. IMHO, if you're considering night blue I would go with saddle or espresso rather than black/bordeaux.
I couldn't help but throw in a gratuitous photo in the snow.

Curious, on these leases and "pull ahead" offers, obviously advantageous to put zero $ down on lease? If you put $$ down to lower payments, you're just losing that when doing a "pull ahead" if I'm understanding correctly?

This. Here's a dealer photo of mine...

Jeffdehr

Exactly. The "pull ahead" program covers up to 12 months of remaining lease payments up to $2500 per month. Any money you put down upfront is gone. If your monthly lease payment exceeds $2500 you're on the hook for the difference.
