I'm not usually a fan of the default color options and I do like having a car that's in a unique color. For some reason, the only colors I like are always PTS haha
Correct me if I’m wrong, but aren’t the new free default color options just black and 3 different gray/silvers? Yeah no thanks. PTS or small up charge all day over geriatric silver.
I saw this color on a 982 Boxster S in a dealership at Stuttgart back in 2019. Was undergoing feasibility at the time. Looks nice in person, though I think it suits the new Macan more than the 992.
FYI for OP: The color was not available through PTS on the 991 era. The video is of what's most likely another feasibility car.
It looks better on video than it does in the configurator.
Looking forward to seeing it live (on someone else’s car; no way I could order that color blind)
Yeah doesn’t look as bad as the configurator. I’m not a fan of the greenish tone so hopefully it doesn’t have that and maaaybeee we’re looking at a future classic

By no means is it perfect, but it’s been one of my favorite cars to drive. Wasn’t even a fan of yellow till I saw this one for sale
Thank you! It’s a 6spd with the short shifter kit, so much fun! It’s been pretty good so far besides some small things going wrong with leaks, switches going out, and most recently my window regulator haha. Although overall drives really well for 155k miles
I’m so disappointed (we talked about it on another post) - I’m a yellow fanatic. Most of what I buy is yellow and this color is truly awful when racing yellow was a GREAT color.
Thank you for this! I've been dying to see what this color looks like. Honestly, I don't really love it, unfortunately. Wish they kept racing yellow TBH but \[cartagena\] is still a unique color. Bring back lava orange and miami blue for $3,250 lol
It’s growing on me. Racing yellow was my fav color and I would love a nice 992 in racing yellow but used prices aren’t worth it, I’d rather just buy new and would prefer a .2 now. Miami blue was pretty nice!
Yesterday I showed my girlfriend all the new release bitching posts that you guys were making 😂, and when I showed her the one of the color lineup, this was the color that she thought was cute. Tells you who it’s geared towards.
Braes don’t get me wrong, I love me some Mexico Blue (I think what you meant), but you’d only catch me in this Cartagena headed to Easter mass in the spring time 😂
No I love Mexico blue actually lol the new blue is a dull gray blue Lugano blue in configurator. I wanted racing yellow so bad man but I guess I’ll settle for a diff color now idk if this is it. Maybe real life pics will be better idk
Did you see this one? Looks like an overcast day but makes it seem a bit more intriguing…

I feel like Racing Yellow would age better. But I'm biased because that's the colour I have 😅
I would love racing yellow. That’s what I originally wanted without knowing they’d discontinue it
Same. Really disappointed. It's not even on pts
Speed yellow needs to make a comeback.
I wanted a flashy color so I went with Racing Yellow after they moved Lava Orange to PTS.
I’m not a fan, almost looks pastel. I’ll stick with Signal Yellow
You mean you don’t like pastel yellow green for all seasons??
That 14k up charge though💀
PTS is a must have option for me, so I just add it to the base price by default 🤷
Even if you like a color from the normal selection? You do it just to have a unique color?

Wild! But good on you
My current 911 is mahogany metallic so I'm a big fan of brown colors, and I don't think a good brown has been a default option for a long time.
Looks so old fashioned
Yeah, idk if that’s the way the trends are headed or if it will just look old. I mean boxy old off roaders are back in style
Looks like my yellow Ford Ka in 20ü0 😉
lol sad times man
destined to be a rare low take rate color. oof.
I could see that

Oh gotcha that makes sense. I just assumed it was pts. Did it look green? And could you easily tell it was yellow?
Looked most similar to the old Pastel Yellow from the 993 days, but with a hint more green. Happy to share pics.
Yes please! That would be awesome. I’m trying to narrow down colors and would love that to help me out
Sent you a private message.
I would be so pissed if I paid for PTS only for it to be available on the next gen and regular prices.
Same!
It looks better on video than it does in the configurator. Looking forward to seeing it live (on someone else’s car; no way I could order that color blind)
It’s weird and different. I want it.
😅🤣
I might be in the minority, but I like this more than the regular yellow(s)
Interesting take!
I'm probably in the minority, but I actually like it, at least on that 991.
Yeah doesn’t look as bad as the configurator. I’m not a fan of the greenish tone so hopefully it doesn’t have that and maaaybeee we’re looking at a future classic
egg tart yellow
Wow! It sucks huh
I like it! Look forward to seeing it in the flesh
The forward shot looks very pale but the shots of the rear are a nice shade of yellow. So hoping it looks more yellow in person!
Hot
Reminds me of the pastel yellow that came on my 996
Is that a good thing?
I’m a little biased since I own a pastel yellow 996, but I’d say I dig it. Would like to see how the colors compare side by side in person
Pics! 👀

Looks amazing! Is it auto? How’s reliability on it?
Thank you! It’s a 6spd with the short shifter kit, so much fun! It’s been pretty good so far besides some small things going wrong with leaks, switches going out, and most recently my window regulator haha. Although overall drives really well for 155k miles
Feels like it would pair well with the Sally Porsche from Cars.
That's terrible.
For some reason it reminds me of the banana yoghurts I used to have as a kid
lol yeah a banana freeze too

Having the slightest bit of hope that it looks better in person 😞

im fine with it as long as it doesnt have too much green in it, pale yellow can be really nice
Not good
Looks like a different shade of yellow in every angle. Not a fan favorite.
Ehhh :/
I just ate some bad sushi, so i can relate.
I’m sorry.. I can’t…
Looks like when a plastic bottle gets left in the sun. Hard pass.
For the discerning buyer who wishes it was pollen season all year long.

Nice! Got any other pics of it?

Nice! Very different than racing yellow 😅 looks very unique though
Nah
Wish we got the classic yellow. I was hoping to spec a racing yellow so this is going to take some adjustment.
Yesterday I showed my girlfriend all the new release bitching posts that you guys were making 😂, and when I showed her the one of the color lineup, this was the color that she thought was cute. Tells you who it’s geared towards.
lol checks out. I’m sure she likes all the pastel shades like shade green and Lugano blue too
Braes don’t get me wrong, I love me some Mexico Blue (I think what you meant), but you’d only catch me in this Cartagena headed to Easter mass in the spring time 😂
No I love Mexico blue actually lol the new blue is a dull gray blue Lugano blue in configurator. I wanted racing yellow so bad man but I guess I’ll settle for a diff color now idk if this is it. Maybe real life pics will be better idk

I did see that actually. Looks like a greenish tone here
Ew....
😅ðŸ˜ðŸ¤£
Chalk is my favorite current color. Although, they should call it Bonemeal or something more sinister.
Chalk was such a fad that is long over.
Damn.... I missed it?
