Congrats! No doubt shark blue will look great on your 992s.

Here is the first pic of my Shark Blue Spyder on the production line. It is now waiting for a ship in Emden. I went back and forth with many colors on the configurator and I kept coming back to shark blue. I think with the Spyder being a topless GT4, it wears the color well. The Spyder will be my fun weekend car and I think the color fits.

I agree with some of the sentiments posted above that the color looks a little out of place on a non-GT car. I don't know if its because the GT3 was launched in this color so it make the non-GT cars look like they are trying to hard.

On a 992, Night Blue would be my choice.

Looks great! Yeah I am worried Shark Blue will look a bit out of place on a less aggressive spec.... GT3 and aero kit cars look great, but not sure it fits standard 992..... which is a bummer as I LOVE the color. Having a tough time deciding on colors for my 992 GTS build but leaning towards Gentian blue.... but lately Python Green has caught my eye!

I agree. I had changed my color to Shark Blue, but then went back to my other co-favorite, Dolomite Silver. With a Targa 4, I thought it a bit too loud. But that blue is very nice.

Shark blue looks very different than any photo I have seen. A much nicer more dramatic color in person.

The Nagaro blue is also nice but at $12,000 extra plus sales tax and license fees - Shark blue is a better value for most guys.

Saw this shark blue GT4 last week at a dealer waiting to be delivered - it was really a great looking car. I was relieved as I have a shark blue Boxster GTS being delivered on November 23 and a shark blue GT4 scheduled for a December 7 delivery.

very few buyers that spec shark blue - like myself- have never seen the color in person.
