Is this a new shade of gray never used before on a 911? Has it ever been paint to sample in the past?

Thank you
It's the launch color of gt4rs. I guess it's new for gt4rs

It's also a launch color for Cayenne Turbo GT. I feel like this color would be pretty popular imo

My Canadian configurator shows “Ice Grey”, but no Arctic. Are these the same colour?

They're totally different colors. Artic grey looks like Audi daytona grey while Ice Grey is more silver than grey.

Still not seeing Arctic Grey listed. Can you post a link?

Here is the link of US configurator, if it's not on Canadian config then I suspect it will not be available in CAD market.

Ah. Now I understand. Given it was called “Arctic” I figured it would be a much lighter colour but I see it's the opposite. FWIW, the colour is available in the Can configurator. Thanks for your help.

I am growing increasingly intolerant of that shade of grey. It's everywhere nowadays, to me it looks like primer grey-blah.

I think it’s cool, but also agree, virtually every car manufacturer offers something very similar.

Audi started it with Nardo Gray many years ago, and it’s gained popularity that even Dodge/Chrysler offer it.

Putty gray. Polarizing color.

Grey is what earth tones were to the 70's to the 2020's.

Side note, is Arctic Grey metallic or non-metallic like Chalk?

Does anyone know whether the PDK gear selector in aluminum for $750 is a new option for 2023?
If it's not a new option and if someone has it, is it worth it? Thank you.

It's always been an option. And ridiculously overpriced, as is the case with many "exclusive" options. As for whether it looks nicer -- it's different but I don't think it's any better. In fact, I've read here that it's added size gets in the way of some of the buttons.
