if you plan to pay PTS money, then get something that is very rare

may I suggest Azurro California Blue

+1 ... and ideally make sure you see the color 'in person' before ordering.

PTS costs over $15000. Miami Blue is a special colour along with Carmine Red and Lava Orange at about $7500. At 15k I'd rather get red/black interior.

Is that a Ferrari color? I remember seeing a new 550 Maranello back in the day that I thought was Azurro California, it was gorgeous.

Ah hmm that's a pretty blue but a little light for me. My addiction is definitely to ABM.

I'd go with the Sapphire. But I'd choose the blue/white interior package instead of black.

15000 for PTS in the US?

That's insane. It's about GBP2000 in the UK (about $3500)

Too much blue if you go interior too, I think Sapphire looks best with Agate/Pebble. Beige is good too.

Thats the price in New Delhi, India, we pay huge import duties and taxes. A CarreraS I ordered will cost me $335,000 as of today. Final price charged is that on day of delivery and may go up or down depending on various factors like currency exchange rates and government policies. Duty has gone up 1% since my order.

In the end I changed it to Miami Blue, and the car goes into production soon I'm told.

No wrong answer. (My SB Targa is getting picked up in a few months.) Post pics when you take possession!

Most 911s being imported here are black,white, yellow, red, sapphire blue and silver. So miami would be a nice change from everyone else.
