PTS. $11,200. And currently closed until MY24. Not sure PTS fits the T "ethos" of a value-performance 911, but I was considering it with a GTS purchase. Irish Green. Ferry Porsche's favorite color.

But you bring up a good point. I am struggling at times with Python and considering Guards Red. Mostly, because the rear bumper looks a little frumpy in lighter colors without the Sport Design bumper package (which I am absolutely not getting; I'm not paying $4700 for plastic and less of an approach angle). Am I crazy or does the red look better from the back than the green? I also like the way the red plays off the gray accents, it's a very classic color, and it's a free color. Python is $3200.

Vote now; my order locks 3/9.

Yep Guards for me. Like you say Classic (though ironically yet most modern Pcars I see aren’t painted in Guards unlike the 911’s and 944’s of the ‘80’s that were predominantly so). And good point re the grey/black offsets

red - always red. unless BRG, which is not from that little island.....


ya gotta figure most of the people will only see the back.......

Rear - Red
Front - Green
Front 3/4 > Rear 3/4 = Green
Red doesn't do it for me on this car.

 

[GSTim]

This?


Or this?

 

[GSTim]

IMO Python on this car says badass, Red just another Porsche.

Another vote for Guards Red. @Carson

 

[Carson]

Sigh...not an easy decision. First world problems.

 

[shrpshtr325]

ill thow in a vote for the green

 

[Carson]

This looks sooo good.

 

[Bike N Gear]

If these votes actually matter, add one for green.

Red will never go out of style. Greens come and go, except on Porsche. Looks at pictures of 911's in green for any year. Always looks good and doesn't look dated.
Plus, that was your choice. Go with your gut.

Not really loving green on the 718. I can find out exactly what else they did to this car.

I think the red is timeless on a Porsche, like it is on a Ferrari. I think Python green will get played out kind of like chalk and the mat greys. Also, what looks good on the 718 does not look necessarily good on a 911 and vice versa.

Blue. Always blue

Blue. Always blue

Shark Blue looks great on the 718, better than it does on the 911. I think yellow looks better on the 911 than the 718. Certain colors while boring, like Agate Grey or Arctic White, look great on both. I've never been a big fan of bright colors because I don't want to draw too much attention. I drive too fast and I don't have the get-out-of-jail-free badge.

Blue. Always blue

🤢🤮

Pick either. Then wrap it in a Red/Green zebra pattern. Don't tip and be rude to service workers and face time at full volume in public.

 

[THATmanMANNY]

Viola Purple Metallic and Ruby Star Red is the way

 

[ekuhn]

Red all day errrr day.

The answer is never black, white or pink
