Aventurine Green 992's should come with Knuckle-holed brown leather gloves and a bottle of viagra.

No, I think that was a photoshop attempt. Still no real good photos or video of this color.

Thanks for these @DKST ! Probably a more accurate representation of this colour than previous pictures. And I think it looks great

I saw it last night. DKST's pics are good & very representative. It does not look too "green" to me. Looks a lot like Agate. NTTAWWT.

Great looking car. The 4 pipe look would have me foregoing PSE.

Hard choice. I was standing right between both cars last night, going back and forth. One with PSE and one with the double-duel. I think they both look great.

Really hard to tell given the lighting and use of the camera, but does this video show 992 with an Agave Green interior and Aventurine Green outside exterior?


Only get glimpses of what might be Aventurine from front headlights etc and mirrors in the first minute or so. But as I said, really hard to tell.

Looks stunning to me, I like that it appears more grey than the old Aventurine on the 993. I just confirmed my 2S spec with this colour + RS Spyder wheels. Still a bit nervous to see how it comes out but these latest images from Chicago give me some comfort

I heard a rumour saying that the reason Aventurine was not featured on any of the launch cars (in Spain or Palm Springs) was that the colour wasn't approved yet when pre-production began, so apparently the only cars existing in this colour is the showcar in LA/Chicago (I am guessing its the same car) + one 992 Cabriolet in Germany (of course there may be a bunch of cars in Germany that no one has seen, I wouldn't know). Hopefully the first real production cars that will appear mid march will finally allow a glimpse of this colour in the wild.

I‘ve got the same config. Still curious how the wheels will pan out in combination with aventurine green. If they were available, I would totally go for the 911 Speedster Concept wheels:

Agree those are beautiful! I do believe the RS wheels on the 992 are so much better than the similar ones on the 991 that somehow looked aftermarket to me, and I think the grey shade will work very well with the green.. Fingers crossed!
