Voo Doo is a great colour on the GT4 imo

fav colours for me are (not in any order):

Voodoo
Viper
Slate
Carmine
Yellow
GT Silver for a low key look.

worse colours are the darker ones and the insipid fiat500 colours which I might add look great on the 1970's era Cars !
white is a tough one for me on the GT4 and for me for some reason I don't like it but do have 2 white porkers and think GT3's look great in white.
Side stickers work well on the white ones though.

Having just purchased a gt4 at a premium I thought I would add my 2 pence.

I have actively been looking for a car over the last 4 months and I feel there has been a general reduction of about 2.5k-5k since brexit but the market does appear to have stabilised with more cars trading around the £85-£95k mark depending on spec and if the car is from a dealer or private.

There of course are the annonomilies where a purchaser wants a specific spec and therefore due to the shortage pays the additional premium. Classic supply a demand particularly if a car is on a sale or return basis and the seller has set a price that they want.

For me my purchase was never about values, it was about buying the car I wanted and using it, and I am happy with what I paid against the market. If it makes a loss so be it that's cars for you.


A terrible phone pic for you! Going to take some decent ones once the correction detailed is carried out.

My Voodoo straight from an iPhone 6. No adjustments. Was a toss up between Mexico and Voodoo for me, ended up choosing Voodo for a bit more saturation, I think it pops more than Mexico but then it doesn't have any Porsche heritage. I think they are both ace colours.

It's a close run thing between the carbon buckets and the PTS for my favourite option. Both make it feel really special.

Actually I nearly got swung by Birch green loved that having seen the viper and that in the flesh no comparison.

Vodoo and Mexico are the two to have in my view but it's all personal taste when it comes to colours.

95% of the compliments I've had on the car are the colour and I have noted a huge swing dependant on light. Look how dark it looks in this pic (the c1 glows compared to it).
Loving that colour yes

I agree voodoo is an amazing colour and would have been my colour of choice but the one I found did not have the 918 seats which for me was essential.

Just booked my 2 days at silverstone on Porsches performance driving course so looking forward to really exploiting the limits of the car.

Hope you don't find them too uncomfortable. The lightweight buckets were very uncomfortable for me around the shoulders on anything more than short trips. The sport bucket option is just perfect. Anyone ordering CS was of course stuck with lightweight buckets.

Strange how we all differ, must be a mix of posture build etc. For me I find the folding buckets awfully uncomfy. 5 6ish and about 10.5 stone. Recently had the worst bad back ever after an hour in the folding buckets in another Porsche.

The 918's so much more comfy (the lack of height adjust-ability I think was the main reason I just couldn't get comfy in the folding).

I'm sure there are plenty of people who are over the moon with the lightweight (918 style), bucket option. But they just didn't work for me. I've had the sport buckets on two 987 Spyder models, a 997.2 GT3 a 991 GTS and 981 Spyder. For me at least they are just the most comfortable seats I've experienced in any Porsche whilst also offering superb support.

What ever the colour it is on the 918 it's stunning.

Is it me or have GT4 sales seemed to slowed right down, a lot of cars advertised have been up for some time now and there is huge choice out there as more and more cars seem to be coming up for sale.

Has the must have new car hype moved on to something else or are people not willing to pay over the odds?

Was at the opc today, they sold one when I was there!

Not sure how much it sold for mind.

The one I thought they had sold has just been advertised for sale. Looks another nice PTS car if anyone is looking for one. I had a look over it and it is as new as you would expect for the very low mileage.

Considering it apparently a low production car I'm still shocked how many are for sale mind!

It would appear a lot have been bought to sell on.

Not really a surprised given the premiums then. It will settle, but they are selling quite well at the moment for around £95k average.
