Hello from India!

I currently own a 718 Cayman in Guards Red and I would like to purchase a 992.2.

I love bright colours and was hoping they'd keep Racing Yellow (which is my first preference) but it seems they have discontinued this colour. Lugano blue would be my second option, but I feel this is way darker than Miami blue which is also one of my other favourites.

The base price for the 992.2 Carrera (with zero options) is around USD 275k (on road price with registration and insurance) so I want to make the right decision as it is a ton of money here.

I have so far only found 2 links which show pictures of this rare colour but was hoping someone on this forum would have some more real life pictures of this colour..

The first link is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Porsche/com...llow_metallic/

and the second link is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Porsche_Cay...arage_981_gts/

Any help would be greatly appreciated in advance.

Thanks so much!

I'm the same as you, want something bright but the Cartagena yellow and shade green although nice, are pale for my taste and they look more like pastels colors. Therefore, I'm leaning towards Crayon (Chalk) with Gloss Black Package + Door handles and window trims are in gloss black to have a contrast between the Crayon and Black.

Which interior and calipers are you considering, Steel in red or black, or Ceramics in Yellow?

Should be called highlighter yellow.

The PCCB is a very expensive option here and I cannot justify paying the price. I never track my cars and only use them around 4k to 5k KM per year ( around 3000 miles per year).

I'll stick with the standard steel brakes and will probably have the calipers painted ( either red or yellow) myself once I get the car.

I've asked for the shade cards from my local dealer but they have said it won't come in anytime soon.

I'll spec my car soon and share it with you all soon.

I just wished I lived in a country where cars are not taxed as much as they are here ( nearly 200 percent import tax).

Cheers again for your help!

I agree. Yellow should POP. RY/SpeedY/SignalY all >>> Cartagena Y

Here it is in real life

looks much better in real than on posters. Did not know you can already see them on the street. Wheels look in real also better than I thought.

I like it.

The new wheel design with the thick side ring just looks wrong.

Here is the dealer paint sample in different shades of light. I took these four pictures all within a few feet of each other.
In the shade its very greeny. In sun it is not. I was surprised by how much the color changes in the light to be honest.
Perhaps a full car would look more green, but I did not see nearly as much green in person as the pictures above seem to indicate.

I like it too! I think the colour will grow on me.

Also i'm surprised how quickly the car is available on the road.

I found another example of a Cayman GTS with the same colour;


Looks much better in real life than in the configurator.

I think i'm 99% convinced to order this colour as opposed to Lugano Blue.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

I hope they will be some photos for the Slate Gray Neo soon! I need to spec my car and it is killing me not to see this color in person before I order it.

it should be called "barf green" - it's a horrible departure from Racing Yellow which was an absolutely fantastic color. Yellow is the only color I'm interested in and this isn't even yellow.
