certainly for Cayman GT4/Spyder it is, last month of production is Nov.

I would not expect the "new" color to appear until the 992 GT3 launch, since it appears as though it may be a "launch" color for that model.

good catch, if that's the colour I'm sold. No need to debate spending crazy money for pts. Was looking at Oslo, Mexico and Voodoo

Porsche makes some great blue colors! I have to stay away from the 992 forum or I'm going to get into trouble!

Hey Edgy, come join the fun. I gave up on chasing another 997 and am going the 992 route.

If these are true representations of Shark Blue, they look VERY similar to Riviera Blue and Mexico Blue. It would make me really curious to see Shark Blue in person to see what the difference is from Riviera Blue and Mexico Blue because with it looking so close just based on these photos, why wouldn't Porsche just make Riviera or Mexico blue the replacement for Miami Blue rather than make a new color, have a new name but be similar to existing colors. I will say that based on these photos, Shark Blue does look more blue than Mexico so maybe the spectrum is Riviera Blue (lightest), then Mexico, then Shark Blue, then Voodoo Blue (darkest.)

On a side note, it's cool to see the proto with the (presumably) Speed Blue stitching.

Because Porsche does not want to **** off owners who recently paid $12k for PTS colors like RIvB and MexB.

If that’s the new color it’s very similar to Alfa Romeo Le Mans Blue from the 70’s:

could be, but it might also be a PTS Maritime or Arrow Blau

I don't think shark will be available until the 992 GT3 Launch ...
