My Euro spec TTS in GT silver with truffle brown interior. Manufactured back in July 2020 but photos showed up months later in February 2021 after I’ve been driving the car already for some time.

Hey, I am brand new to this forum. I am in the process of final build with freeze date coming July 31. I am ordering a Turbo in Gentian Blue and was wondering if you could share some photos or your thoughts in real world. The blue is a popular option for many cars but I know the Porsche version apparently has many hues depending on the sunlight. I am also struggling with sports design or not (mostly because I love the rear wing part but not 100% sold on front "split" wing design). I think I see in this picture you did order it (not sure if body color or gloss black).

All the Porsche blues are great. I think if you really love the wing on the Sport Design package, then go for it. The front part of the package is so nondescript that it can be overlooked. Color-wise is difficult to choose. I do like the black as it separates it from the car and helps it stand out. But that would be my choice. Either way, it’s a Turbo, and you’ll stand out for people who know.

Those are wise words, thank you. Makes perfect sense about the black actually standing instead of blue over blue.
if I can ask another question, what interior color did you decide on. I just traded in my Panamera Turbo that had Bourdeaux Red/Black but that would be so not complimentary to the GB.
I went with full black interior for ease of cleaning and appearance.
My previous (aqua blue, lighter than gentian blue) had agate grey and pebble grey in two tone, akin to slate grey and chalk. It looked good, but it can get dirty and start to show dirt accumulation over time no matter how much you have it cleaned. So, to keep it easy, black.
My cars tend to be daily drivers, so take it as you wish.

Your comments on keeping the chalk stitching clean is great advice. I will be using this car daily to go to work and back and I am also into running so often times will get back into my car not so clean. I think I am going to do solid black leather and add silver seatbelts and brushed aluminum inlays to brighten up the interior a bit. I also have dog who may sometimes ride in there.
I appreciate your help and hope your car arrives soon for you to enjoy. This will be my first 911 - I've dreamt of driving one since I was 12 years old.
About to set sail across the Atlantic on the SFL Composer from Emden Port 07/23, through the Panama Canal, and up to its final destination in Benicia, California.
Should arrive at PEC LA approximately 08/22.

In my GB TTS I opted for black leather with graphite blue inserts for a subtle "pop". For me it works, but there are so many combinations you can choose from that will tailor to your personal taste.
Ps; I cheaped out on floor mats, next time I'd spring for something upscale...
