The head cleaning lady has stated in the past there would be no RAS. Fake news.

I agree that they should bring back Speed Yellow. We've had 3 Speed Yellow Porsches and now have 2 Racing Yellow cars. I remember when I got the first Speed Yellow, a 2007 Cayman S. It was BRIGHT! Way too bright for my tastes but has grown on me since. Compared to Racing Yellow, Speed Yellow is Dull. If I walk out to the garage (with fluorescent lights on), it always looks light one car is Speed Yellow and the other is Racing Yellow. Just depends on the angle of the lighting. But Racing Yellow suits the GT4 very well!

Overall, Yellow, Green and Orange cars are the least preferred (in the low single digit percentages of all cars purchased). No wonder we get so few choices of the bright colors and most people pick black, white or some shade of silver, always the most popular choices.

All I see on the road these days are white, silver or black cars - the bold colours really stand out "happy colours" - a choice of a strong vibrant colour has boldness, genius, power, and magic in it. Very apt for a German car.

If I were to pick up a 981 car it would be Racing Yellow, I think it suits it best!

We are just going to have to agree to disagree on superior red metallic.

Totally cool. Everyone is different and loves different stuff. Learning a lot on this forum. First Porsche purchase for me in 2020. Can't wait!

On a belt or a set of loafers...great color. I am even a fan of the more subdued colors it just doesn't do a thing for me on a car. It'd be a really nice interior color perhaps. I might feel different seeing it in the flesh in sunlight. That's what makes the world go round though.

That's a nice colour. Don't see it being a standard offering. Also not sure it would suit a winged car.
