I don't think you can order speed yellow as it is a PTS color. However, you can order Racing Yellow!

Thanks in advance
Do you mean racing yellow? If so, there are definitely some photos in this thread. Speed yellow was for the 996 and 997 generations. It is available via PTS in theory, but no PTS for the Carrera T unfortunately.

You’re both correct. Racing Yellow, not Speed Yellow. I’m coming out of a 997.2, so just assumed it was the same yellow available as a standard color back then.

Would appreciate any links to previous Racing Yellow pictures. Could be user error, but I’m not finding the search function particularly useful.

If you just Google “992 racing yellow Carrera T” or “2023 racing yellow Carrera T”, you will see photos and videos. You probably weren’t finding anything because you were Googling speed yellow.

This picture was posted some time ago by a lucky owner... the only yellow one I ever saw on this forum
And on the website of Porsche NL, you can find this one: https://finder.porsche.com/nl/nl-NL/...=911-carrera-t

You can tell it is @Macboy by the perfectly complementary options specced to the car. If you squint, you can see that ****-eating grin that is a result of achieving motoring nirvana

Track my dream shows production completed on the 14th with no dates for next steps (have been pushing the whole time for Leipzig delivery and it was what pushed me over into placing my order). Euro Delivery coordinator still doesn't have dates. Trying to patiently wait for either a delivery date update or a "on the way to port Emden" notice.

Edit: Oh yeah. And I only got the "Assembly" photo so I won't even know what shoes its wearing.

One of the firsts Ts to be delivered (to a dealership in Holland), was in Racing Yellow.
@Macboy posted pictures of it, somewhere around page 447* or so. And there were a lot of them. And huge.

You can see his beloved Michelins throwing sparks, as they grip the track with their steely talons
Also, he overtook on the right, like any respectable Dutchman will do on the autobahnand his exquisite racing line leaves you smitten with awe

Bahaha. That's fantastic. I guess I can just grab one of the other Gentian Blue T's with the glass sunroof and pretend it is mine. Preferably one with Michelin's!

I had the same time frame of a delay, and they took every day of it before it was released for transport. I felt the same as you do, but just because it looks like a running and driving car doesn;t mean it is.

I'm not sure what option could be constrained by the time I got this elevator photo? Maybe they put too many Carrera T side decals onto cars that didn't really want them, leaving not enough for the those of us who actually did want the stickers?! 😂

And search for some speed yellow vs racing yellow comparisons. It is a much different color. Racing yellow is like a muted lemon...a nice color. Speed yellow would even please Enzo....It is a more in your face sort of yellow. I am a fan of Speed.
