Not sure what blue this is, but it was gorgeous in person:

 

My previous 2004 996 C2 Lapis Blue Metallic

 

3AS,--Blue Turquoise. Did you have to ask? With a 993 from the 90s

 

That looks like fountain blue.

 

And it looks STUNNING!

Great thread...

My next car is going to be a Cayman ... Cobalt Blue with Natural brown leather.

 

It didn't come this way

 

My friend has a 74 Carrera in Gulf blue and it's beautiful!I might order my next 997 like that.

 

Here is mine, cobalt (although in strange angle of light), along with some competition in similar color. I dont know what the rarri color is called though...

 

One of my favorite colors for the 911. Just beautiful.

 

Nick,

I found that the overall shape of your car looks much more attractive and pleasing to the eyes than your more expensive competitior. Am I just biased? Anyone agrees?

 

That's because the more expensive competitor is a HUGE GT!

This same fate will befall the 911 if the current trend continues. It's already gotten too bloated for a "sports car" and it's becoming more of a GT with every model.

Oh ya Tim, I do too. But we ARE biased
But there is something about it, which is difficult to pinpoint. Maybe its the 5.5 meter length of it (!!!!!!) that thing is HUGE. And since that pic was from a mini track day at a mini track (1.7kms long) it is very very competent too. It drives amazing, and even at the hands of a first time tracker, it was quite a machine. But despite the 12 cylinders... engine sound was a bit of a disapointment. And that light beige interior with the stipes and holes on it looks reaaaal good. Yes, the competition is a nice car...
Having said all that, there is NOTHING LIKE THE A$$ of a widebody carrera... I would take it ANY DAY over any rarri. Did I mention the damn rarri overheated on the short track? heehehehe...
