It did the same for me yesterday as unavailable. But today it let's you select it on the car. Looks like AG is once again on the $840 premium paint list. I'm sure this will please many. 🙏

Crazy. Porsche configurator has been extra whacky the last year or so. Great for AG fans.

To me, Adventurine Green is too similar to all the other grey and silver cars in the parking lot.

What is pleasant for one person may be unpleasant for another. Thankfully Porsche offers many color choices.

It's not available even though the configurator shows it.
My freeze date on my gts is next month and I spoke to my sales rep - he can't put the order in with AG. (ordered back in April 2022)
His sales manager reached out also and it's discontinued.
Kinda sucks.

Same situation. Had AG on my GTS spec yesterday. Got a V100 (feasibility failed). Changed colors and immediately changed to V200 (delivery date determined).

I found this note on the build site for AG:

”Note: Available for ordering up to and including November 2023 production months.”

Guess if your order won’t be built before Nov, 2023 you’re out of luck.

Agree. Some like blondes, some like redheads, some like brunettes, some like AG. AG alone is good. AG with truffle brown interior and deviated stitching rocks.

No, it’s not being discontinued.

In usual Porsche fashion, they just elevated the price for something as distinctive and eloquent as AG to “paint to sample”, for $13K. ”You gotta pay, to play”

Apparently, AG is not for the masses….after Nov 2023.

Yea that’s what I meant. It’s PTS now and not a standard metallic color.

looks dumb in gloss black imo
