Color choice is as subjective as it gets. Typically the exterior and interior colors should compliment each other. They should be harmonious -- not clash. As long as your colors meet that criteria, the color choices should feel good to you. Sure, if you want attention then you could go with a bold, arrogant exterior color. But, doesn't the car itself attract enough attention? Any more attention needed then the car itself may say something about your own insecurity. Therefore, IMO, for that car, Fashion Grey would be a fine choice.

 

I am also OK with Fashion Grey on a GTS. Not sure if Red/Black would work well inside, but that could just be me, and my likes/dislikes. The Pepita inlays could be good choice as the Fashion Grey is somewhat of a heritage color. You could also go with some period Coco matching matts to make it look very 50/60 vintage. Good Luck, and have fun deciding, after all it is Your Car.

 

I don't think fashion grey looks good with the silver targa bar. That said, the gts targa bar will most likely be black. I like the silver bar better than black, but if you're dead set on fashion grey, I'd want the black targa bar.

 

Could not disagree more, but this is what makes things interesting. We can't all have the same tastes. FG is a superb color, and combined with black/peptia interior would be stunning. If lucky enough to get go-ahead with PTS I say go for this combo without hesitation (but I'd try not to think about it again until it's known for sure).

I was very close to buying this one but somehow couldn't close the deal.

 

Wow what does that make black or white? Some of the sharpest looking cars I see here are one or the other.

 

I just got a copy of the Jan/Feb 2017 issue of European Car. There is a drop-dead gorgeous 2015 Fashion Grey GT3 article starting on page 60. It is also called PTS Mode Grau (the German name I guess?) The car is based in Yorba Linda CA. There is a couple of other very good Porsche articles in the mag. You probably can get Europen Car online, but I am not sure. I just picked up the hard copy at a news stand today.

 

Details matter. Modegrau (FG) is a great color but like the cars above the black details enhance the strength of the color. Unless your Targa roll bar is black which has yet to be offered the fashion grey will likely be less successful than you envision. IMHO the Targa benefits most from historic late 60s early 70s colors that are enhanced by the silver Targa bar. Signal yellow, viper green, Irish green, Mexico blue, and gulf orange have been on the PTS list and have been done on Targas. On another note I'm not sure what you meant by a 4S converting to a GTS. There is a premium for the GTS range and each variant GTS has its own internal model code. If you want a GTS you must specify that.

 

I thought this was odd too. And do we know that the GTS is open in January? That's news to me.

 

Jan 9 has been floating around the various forums. The GTS is due to be released, but when remains a question. If past experience is any indicator there will be a web special along with the online configuration sometime this month.

 

Agree that black goes well with FG. Did you consider a cabriolet? Targa most certainly doesn't look bad though... For Targa, perhaps better with 5 lug wheels in silver? (Sorry to post off-topic, shall be my last offense. Don't even know how I wound up here, just sorta obsessed with this color!).

 

Pedestrian.

 

Hi all !!

i´m in the final stage for push the order button for my 991.2 C2. One last issue that I have is that I still haven´t decided the color 100%. I always stated that I would buy the agate grey, BUT now i´m leaning towards the GT silver, (black interior). Formostely, my wife likes the silver better I quit like the silver.
So the question ; Which color will be most "sensitive" towards small scracthes and so on.... ? I my mind the agate grey will be more sensitive ...

Any thoughts ??

 

Well thanks for everyones input. I'm going to request the houndstooth seats. If they get approved I'll move forward with the fashion grey which in my mind is not dull and disappears. But I asked for opinions because i appreciate input. The car is actually for my step father (who was more of one than the genetic one) He grew up an hour from Zuffenhausen and it was his dream to have a targa one day. Pride's sake he won't let me give it to him but i'll "park" it at my parents house. Damn Germans and their pride. That fashion grey targa was partially my inspiration, and torque chaps blue baron thread as well. I believe modegrau is absolutely stunning myself. Classic and clean without being too showy. I had a bright orange 650s. Lasted about 30 days. That's just not my style. My GT3RS was white too. Thanks everyone. Looks like i'm buying a 911 three years in a row!

 

You could just keep it in your garage and not drive it!
Seriously, just get EXPEL and forget about worrying about scratches and drive the thing!-Richard

 

My hat's off to you. Very, very nice.
