It looks like Metor Grey with Carrera Red Natural Leather with Sport Seat backs painted in exterior color.

The car on the right could be GT Silver, but neither is Atlas. Atlas is much darker, almost black. Why not use the Porsche website to configure the car?

I tried that but the colors look very different then the actual pictures that i have posted from Porsche's website....

I think it's safe to say that it is Meteor with red interior...?
But when i configure it using meteor it looks a lot darker then I tried GT Silver but seems lighter?

It would help a lot if they would just list the color somewhere in the pic!!

Meteor is much darker, that one should be GT silver and the lighter silver car is artic silver for sure.

Think the red interior is Carrera red.

btw I think the color gradient goes from lightest to darkest in this order:

artic silver - gt silver - meteor - atlas - then the 2 blacks. Slate grey should slot in between meteor and atlas I think.

Hard to tell from the pics, but I think the cab is meteor. GT silver is quite light and just noticably diff from AS. The third pic shows them to be very diff, so I'll go with meteor. The coupe sure looks like AS.

The cab pic your viewing is enhanced/photo air brushed. I believe that's Meteor as this pic.

The more I am comparing colors and beating my brain to try to get as close as a color match to this pictured car that I love so much!! It seems there is no such Porsche color ,,It actually seems to be in-between Meteor & GT Silver??!!

Take that pic to your dealer and have him 'match' that It's a Porsche promotion photo so they should know what exact color is that, but the interior is definitely carrera red leather.

But also take a look at the paint samples in the dealership, you really have to see the colors in person instead of looking at pics on the computer monitor.

That is meteor over carrera red - confirmed by both my dealer and Porsche Exclusive. It looks great in the new turbo literature with the rear center console painted in meteor. The color is definitely enhanced in the brochure. Meteor is difficult to capture in photos - you need to see it in person. Under full sunlight it is stunning. Like most grays, though, you need to see it in different lighting conditons to determine if you like it.

That's a great looking combo... based on the non-promo photo posted it looks like the color is in fact Meteor. Fantastic.


Quick Reply: what color combo is this??
