Default 992.2 New PTS Colors

The configurator now shows the new colors (a few views don't pop up for me on PC or phone, but swapping to a different view changes that).

Thoughts on the new PTS options? Partial to Nashy Blue myself. Frozen Berry could be a statement color if one is brave enough.

I saw a GTS red in person on a 992 GTS. The car was parked on the showroom floor at the dealer and I couldn't distinguish it from Carmine Red. It was probably a bit darker and less metallic.
It was a wasted PTS slot.

Eberlegreen seems really close to Python.

A couple of them were PTS + colors that after feasibility testing were placed in the regular pool. Id be upset if I dropped 35k on that and then its out next year. Also, I cant imagine paying 15k for Dolomite or Arctic grey.

Seems about as exciting as the push button start.
I’ve seen a Boxster in frozen berry. Not for me but the couple picking it up were very excited.

At least those are different colors

I think they should discontinue white, black, grey, silver and maybe Guards Red for 12 + months to see what happens - while offering muted colors and vibrant colors instead

Such a sea of blandness and blah out on the roads. Next time you are at a stop light surrounded by vehicles - count how many are white, or black, or grey, or silver.

Yeah I know ' I want something under the radar" - think we can last 12 months +. Never say never, but I am 99.9% sure I will not get another of those basic colors in any vehicle again

My opinion

White and black are my favorite colors . I dont feel they are boring . They are timeless .

This is the rub with PTS Plus. After the expense and long wait, not to mention possibility your color may not be approved in the end, your color may be added to the PTS list for others to access at less than half the cost and wait. This happened with Carmine Red several years ago, but it was even worse because not long after PTS Plus approval, CR was added to the standard palette as a "special color".

Nashy blue reminds me of atena blue, it would look great on a targa. Dig gts red too, not impress with the others.

i love gts red... was one of the best colors on 991 gen cars. Just not sure I love it at pts pricing.

Verde Z is a great ferrari color

Sean Peach has potential.
