Was an option I was considering until sorted PTS. The neodyme is much brighter than your photo and looks great with agate, as one from local dealer, and as the wheel on our Boxster 25.

Agate plus Neodyne was also my choice for the incoming Touring until I secured a PTS slot

Have you locked your PTS colour? Was diffciult making a final decision.

Yep, locked it in a few months back. I would have loved to go for a bright colour again (Bloodorange as on the 70s Jägermeister racers is high on my list). However, I find the 992 works best in darker colours and that is where I landed. What about you?

Initial idea was a subtle colour so could use as a daily and be discrete, but gradually my PTS choices went brighter and more noticeable, although not too extreme. Find out if it works in a few months!

Nottingham OPC need to rein the sales team in a bit.

Perfect spec for me (maybe I’d remove the cage), just £100k too much!

Would have photographed better if front axel lift had been lowered, I think!

[Purple Man]

I wonder how much the first GT3 touring will go up for?
Can not be long now before the first one goes up for sale.

That's a stupid price as there is a Python Green one with another OPC for £230k. Still see them as sub £200K cars but these aren't exactly normal times !

[FirstSeaLord]

I haven't been watching, but are these cars actually selling?

Or are they mainly just sitting there, with the dealers seemingly prepared to wait for the duration?

[Melvynr]

It was being discussed on another blog about GT cars on finance, seems you can purchase paying interest only. That will push up prices with people who have their cars on SOR which I guess most will be. You only have to look at how many owners some of the cars have with little mileage.
Nothing looks to be selling at the moment especially the RSWP. Prices are high for the .2 which most now will be requiring the 4-year service as well, or in the next few months.

Interesting look and price for a Taycan............................

I’m finding the PTS process a tad tricky as you can’t see what the colours look like in the metal or in a painted mini piece - you end up looking OL and the same colour can look so different in the images / videos you find - more than just light differences as people also mess around with images post production.

Anyone got any advice other than the obvious find a car in the colour you like and go and see it

If you can......... get to Zuffenhausen and into the exclusive dept for a meeting. I have done this a few times, very enjoyable and much better than an UK OPC.

Europe is opening up next week...

That’s a great idea - do you know how I might go about doing this ? Thanks

My solution was simple and inexpensive, I got some ski helmets painted in a short list of PTS colours - Nardo grey, viper green, Mexico blue and gulf blue.

Green looks good and pretty inexpensive by comparison. What’s next?

Great idea - but how do you know the exact paint codes and who did these for you please - thanks

I got a local bodyshop to do them, any bodyshop with a paint mixing scheme will be able to get you the correct paint code. The parts dept at an OPC will also have the paint codes available.

Or alternatively, you could order an aerosol tin in each colour on your shortlist. Various suppliers online will do this from the paint code.

Viper green - 225
Mexico blue - 336
Nardo grey - LY7C
Gulf blue - 328
