Same here.

 

Agree -- but 'desirable' is in the eye of whom selected the color. That a PTS color may not appeal to everyone is also which adds to its demand as an option. However, there are certainly PTS colors or color combinations that, if we were being totally honest here, would be 'called out' as the majority would find some of them undesirable.

For the approx 6 weeks that I had an accepted/approved PTS order, I really didn't care if the color I selected would be desirable to others...

 

It has more 'life' than 'Gulf', less intense 'Blue' tint than 'Riviera',
& less 'Green' tint than the new 'Miami'! The friend who ordered
the 'Olympic Blue' gt4 was thinking that the color might be closer
to 'Crystal Blue', a late '60s vintage 911 color as found in my original
paint 1970 911E Targa that you can see in my Rennlist avatar!

Here is what he wrote to me:

"I was thinking of how much I admired your crystal blue targa
when I ordered this!! PTS Olympic Blue - a 914 color...I know
that this color will draw comments both plus and minus, but I
view the Boxster/Cayman series as the modern day 914 and
thought the color was unique and appropriate. Plus, your car
looks so amazing that I thought this similar color would be
fun to own."

Hopefully we will be able to check out at some point how close
'Olympic Blue' is to the old 'Crystal Blau', but I appreciate the
compliment & tribute to the color on my '70 911E Targa!

olympic blue is the best blue I've seen for Porsche, and that's saying a lot.

 

 

What colour is that? ^^^^^^

 

Wow, simply stunning! I would love to walk up to that everyday!

 

Olympic blue. See above posts

 

Great!

 

Olympic Blue is nice! reminds me of light shades of blue found in some RUF cars.

 

I went by my dealer to check out the new Spyder they had sitting around a low and behold look what drives up!!! This is a custom blue and was not a true factory color...but what a car.

 

That's a rare sight. Gorgeous.

 

Wow! Thanks for sharing.

Was the car going in for some type of servicing? I noticed the tape and bubble wrap protecting the drivers side sill in one of the photos.

 

Not sure why someone would take a Singer to a dealer for servicing. Cosworth engine and Frankenstein 911 internals with a bunch of race spec, bespoke hardware.

That Singer is a beautiful color and works way better than Olympic blue, which looks like a fluorescent pastel blue.

 

the singer color is nice, sort of a muted/rustic gulf blue. The really bright light blue colors tend to be more modern. waiting for more voodoo blue pics
