cerulean blue is the blue to rule all metallic blues.


cerulean blue metallic 570GT



lots of texture and chrome-ish flakes in the paint make it very creamy as well as give it depth





classic combo of the yellow brakes and yellow belts and yellow stitching...I was inspired to spec this car based on the Seinfeld 993TT

Riviera Blue was also a color used on VW's Karmann Ghia many years ago. Really nice color. Given the opportunity, I would choose Gulf Blue.

gulf without accents is, to me, just "ok". the accents are a must in black or orange otherwise it looks like an old car. even worse to me is the meissen color which only looks good on a 356- it looks like a tissue box

Slight OT: Cj, what are your thoughts on the 570GT vs the S. to my eyes the rear hatch looks both beautiful and adds function, but I've heard the GT is more softly tuned?.. is that correct?.. would you trade performance for some storage capacity and a (subjectively) better aesthetic?

because I own enough "hardcore cars" like the P1/675LT/GT3RS...I'm taking the GT all day. I love the way it drives, almost effortless. It reminds me of the F12 in the sense that I can drive that all day and have zero fatigue etc. The 570S is more like a GT3 in terms of ride quality.

Anyone have any guesses which "special paint" (not PTS) will be offered this go around for the .2?

My first guess is Miami blue followed by LO. Praying for signal, but unlikely.

Come on P give us something cool for people that can't PTS!

I'd opt for Gulf Blue with orange accents or Mexico Blue without them. Given the limited time Porsche offers for PTS, I hope someone posts here the minute that order window opens.

....and let's hope by then it's not too late. I'm sure the "top of the line" customers who want PTS will be quickly informed by their SA (assuming their SA knows what he/she's doing.
