Default Convertible PTS Albert Blue

Hi All, Planning on re-ordering (Composer vehicle totaled) a vert in Albert Blue. Thinking of going with black fabric top and black leather with chalk stitching. Opinions on the top color and interior leather choice with Albert Blue would be appreciated. Thank you!

I'd do leather to sample interior, if you can arrange it. Cohiba might look nice with Albert Blue. I'd stick to a black top.

haven't been able to find a clear answer on what leather to sample upcharge is on the 992. Any idea? Cohiba would be great. Truffle is pretty good but some colors demand a nice carmelly brown. I'd love to build a Irish/Cohiba Targa 4s but thats a whole lotta $$$ just for a different color scheme.

$15k on the GT3 configurator, so I’m assuming it’s the same for Carrera. With resale like it is - almost any option you pick can be recouped.

I guess first I need an allocation... ha... been waiting about 6 months at 2 dealers.

Plus getting PTS allocation is more difficult

Bordeaux interior with Albert Blue would look AWESOME!

Local independent shop owner recently took delivery of a Turbo S in Albert Blue. It’s a gorgeous color. I’m considering having my Targa wrapped if I can find a comparable color.

Not as dark, and no metallic in the paint. More “blue” than “dark blue”. Tough to explain and tougher to see using photos on a monitor.

Check out www.rennbow.org for more comparative pics.

Albert Blue reminds me a lot of my Interlagos Blue E92 M3. Stunning color in person--when clean, the non-metallic paint just pops in a way that few cars do. If/when I do a PTS car, Albert Blue it is!

Stunning color. I'm curious, how much does PTS add to cost of say a 2S?

PTS on a Carrera 2S/4S is $11,430, I believe.
