I personally love the colour.... even though Vanadium isn't quite as dark, it takes me back to the release pics of the Ferrari F430 Spyder

I'm having a really hard time figuring out where this fits this to the other greys.

Arctic Grey seems to be a color shifting lighter grey with blue tones.

Graphite Blue is more a color shifting blue with grey tones

Vanadium seems to have some green tones on the (notoriously inaccurate) configurator, but that doesn't come across in these studio or live shots.

Great Colour. I hate arctic grey and think GT silver is a bit boring. but I think I would actually choose this colour if I was getting a SRS.

I’m a 2-time GT Silver owner. May not be the most exciting color, but it always looks pretty good for $800 option:



That being said, I would seriously consider Vanadium next time (looks great in official pics - need to see in person).

GT on the 992 is amazing and simply stunning in direct sun light, I think it is because all the shadows from the body lines

I thought it was Yachting Blue when I saw the pics. Looks like a really amazing color... I clearly do love Arctic Grey but had Vanadium been available I feel like I would have chosen it.

The metallic flake in this shot is fantastic.

GTSilver is awesome and looks great on both the 911’s and 718’s. In my eyes, it’s got a serious let’s get to business look and it works in any environment; Racing, Formal events, etc. And as others have said, with all that metallic flake, it really looks fantastic in the sun with some different hues shining through.

IF I get a MY24 CGTS allocation and IF PTS comes back and IF Vanadium Grey Metallic is a PTS color, this will be my color.

If no PTS, most likely GT Silver

Any idea if this is going to be available on 4RS coupe?

aka unobtainium grey….

This reminds me of Seal Gray, which I had on my first 986S Boxster... It definately has a spot in my heart, but I've come to love my GT Silver Spyder.... Not sure how I would go if I was lucky enough to snag a Spyder RS...

As a skittles car guy, this color is legit. But as the launch color...will every other SRS be this color? Probably. But then I guess there won't be enough of them to matter, either. I do wonder what on the configurator will have changed by the time you can order in the US market.

Wouldn't be surprised to see it added to the entire GT car portfolio (and possibly beyond)

Here is something nerdy about the name Vanadium It is actually element 23 on the periodic table. And it's silver grey in colour.

Image explanation
The symbol is based on an 8th-century figurine of the Scandinavian goddess Freyja, after whom the element is named. It is set against a text from an Icelandic saga written in the 13th century.
Appearance
A silvery metal that resists corrosion.
Uses
About 80% of the vanadium produced is used as a steel additive. Vanadium-steel alloys are very tough and are used for armour plate, axles, tools, piston rods and crankshafts. Less than 1% of vanadium, and as little chromium, makes steel shock resistant and vibration resistant. Vanadium alloys are used in nuclear reactors because of vanadium’s low neutron-absorbing properties.

Vanadium(V) oxide is used as a pigment for ceramics and glass, as a catalyst and in producing superconducting magnets.
Biological role
Vanadium is essential to some species, including humans, although we need very little. We take in just 0.01 milligrams each day, and this is more than sufficient for our needs. In some compounds vanadium can become toxic.
Natural abundance
Vanadium is found in about 65 different minerals including vanadinite, carnotite and patronite. It is also found in phosphate rock, certain iron ores and some crude oils in the form of organic complexes.

Vanadium metal is obtained by reducing vanadium(V) oxide with calcium in a pressure vessel. Vanadium of high purity can be obtained by reducing vanadium(III) chloride with magnesium.
