991 interior (and exterior colour)

[crystalmethod]

I'm really loving this colour combination, but can't see the interior colour on the configurator, and am not sure about whether the exterior's on there either. Does this mean the whole thing's colour to sample and hideously expensive?

That is Agate Grey Metallic with the new bicolour Agate/Pebble option. I really like the Agate Grey colour on the 991, looks smart.

No judgment....but why does everyone get grey / silver 911's? For an £80k+ car it just seems a tad dull to me. Again, your choice, but when you're spending a decent amount on a car, wouldn't you want it to look a little more exciting?

I can see what you're saying and I kind of agree. However, I don't think I could bring myself to get one in White/Red/Yellow/Blue etc. Black looks great but you need to clean it after every journey. Personally, I prefer the understated look, and just enjoy the driving experience instead

I thought it was probably Agate, but the colour in the photo looks way way lighter than it does on the configurator if it's pebble. Are you 100% sure?

BTW I agree with you re the colours. My 911 is my everyday drive, and I like its understated look - just like the way I like the consistent but evolved shape.

However if I was buying a weekend track focussed instrument then I suspect it may well be a Viper Green 997.1 RS.

Since i live near Cobham, every man and his dog has a 911. And they're all either black, dark grey, light grey or silver. Apparently my C4S in speed yellow is 'vulgar' according to a bitter black Carrera owner, but horses for courses i guess.

The owner or the Carrera was black?

But seriously - another Porsche owner called your car vulgar just because of the colour?
WTF?

That's the sort of Porsche driver who only knows they go fast in a straight line.

Never been a fan of "white" interiors until I bought a C63 AMG. Has a nice blend of white leather and black surfaces. Looks good!

Colours are obviously very subjective,but silver and greys are the best colours for making the car appear clean,and this is very dependant on the shape but hey can be the best colours to highlight the lines of a car,for example black on the 997s seemed to swallow up some of the lines of the car ,and finally enough people look at yo when you drive these types of cars,do you really need to shout about it...by driving a bright orange/yellow etc...they're a bit too much look at me.

In denial a little bit there mate? driving a grey lambo convertible makes you a shrinking violet i suppose

It is discrete compared to a bright yellow/ orange one ,and in Manchester the skies are so grey,it's almost invisible.;)

[Carl_Docklands]

On that basis I shall propose we rename "Agate Grey" to "Apologetic Grey".
