The 981 GT4, 981 GT4 Clubsport and 718 Clubsport have been all yellow... the 987.2 Spyder and 981 Spyder were both white. There is history with this.
Doubt they would launch the new car in the same launch color. I would like to see a mamba green. GT cars deserve flashy colors

Not sure I agree with you 100%... Porsche likes to keep some colors specific to certain models for debuts.... example GTS seemed to be tied to Carmine Red... I might be eating my words though... It's the fun of predicting. At this point only Porsche knows.

The 991 GTS Carmine launch car was stunning. I really wanted one but decided when ordering that I wanted a Garnet Red interior more, and since the Carrera is a more grown-up car, I ordered GT Silver over Garnet and Black (my 4th straight silver Porsche). So when I decided to subsequently get a GT4, nothing would do but Carmine Red for me. What a great color!

I hope they don't launch the 718 GT4 in yellow, in my opinion its the ugliest color you can spec a car

So if Porsche slow rolls us and doesn't debut the car at Goodwood, can throw rocks at you? haha

Honestly, the way it's going I'm not expecting the car to be debuted until Geneva 2020.

Miami Blue launch color would be cool.

And you'd be right. I went after non-PCCB cars simply because of the yellow calipers. That's admittedly a terrible reason to not get the PCCB's.

Can't do it. That color should be reserved for sunshine, school buses and warning labels.

From a guy that likes white and silver...no wonder!
For me...GT cars should have a nice loud color.

yellow is color I like to look at but would never own... I think it does suit the GT4 well though.

Now that would be cool to see, but I bet it’s going to be guards or yellow.

PCCBs look great on subtle colors like white, silver, black. I love the flash of color it provides, especially matched to yellow interior stitching.
