Love the Pure Blue on the 911 Speedster.
Any word or information on if there will be a 991 Speedster?

I am talking about the past 80yrs since the " Oakies " fled the Dust Bowl on Route 66 , the gut -of -the- US " mother road " and settled along the gut -of -California " mother road " , Highway 99 in the central and southern San Joaquin working as laborers on the cotton fields and Coalinga/Bakersfield oil rigs
...growing up in the 60s , many many here had " hicksville " accents and we bore the brunt of jokes per the East Coast and esp LA media types , esp Johnny Carson , about us driving only pick up trucks with gun racks ( even some of my SoCal native classmates at UCLA in the mid 70s remarked / half-joked that I didn't sound like Valley residents Buck Owens and Merle Haggard )

this " armpit of California / red state " image of the central / southern San Joaquin Valley predates East Fresno Hmong gang violence by many, many decades and is ingrained into the thinking of multigenerational " blue state " coastal Cali families , like my 4th generation SF native wife's huge clan on both sides , some of whom still feel " sorry " for where I grew up ....34 yrs after first meeting me !

Wow. In that lineup. Miami looks the worst. Too bad - I was thinking of a possible car in that color.

Mix Club Blau and Pure Blue and you have Voodoo. Or, mix Voodoo and Pure Blue to get Club Blau. Or....

I think it's the same color and Porsche couldn't decide on a name....

the PCA 60 Club Coupe's " Club Blau " paint , a new formulation with extensive input by PCA officials - and chosen to be used for its updated logo , branding , etc., ( i.e., the reason for its color name ) - includes 20% " violet " pigment , which really shows in indoor or late-afternoon light :

the first pic below shows its constantly changing " blue " color best , from front to rear :






CJ , GLWS of the PCA 60 Club Coupe and be sure to put its buyer in touch with our pvt 60 CC Registry and FB Group
