Choosing between this and icegrey and slate grey neo. Thank you for reading!
I’ve seen it on a GTS and looked great. Also on a 718 Spyder RS and again looked really good. Changed my spec. from GT Silver to Vanadium having seen both.

Big fan of Vanadium, although not seen it in person. I probably would have chosen it were it available on the .1, went with IGM and very happy.

Vanadium Grey was my second choice, it's a gorgeous color. I have a loaner Cayenne in that color and it's very striking. Not boring at all.

Just ordered a 992.2 4GTS in Vanadium Grey Metallic! Build starts in January and should have the car by March. I'm very excited about the car (my first Porsche, previous cars were e46 M3, e90 m3, and f87 m2) and this color really appealed to me on the 4 x 4 inch paint sample card at Porsche.

wish the configurator allows us to change the caliper to blue, then it would be perfect!

Contrary take: I think the blue tint spoils the color for me. I much prefer the warm brownish hue of agate grey.

Positive: Vanadium is beautiful.
Negative: it's gray.

Prefer Agate, in the alternate reality where I choose a dark gray 911.

In a world awash in silver cars, I prefer something else.

Well, I know you like black too, so I guess we found something to disagree on...
