Theres an M3 on here with a similar colour. I prefer something like that on a coupe over a sedan, but a hot colour. with Silverstone interior!

Great post, was just googling all of these colors. This Maritime Blue is pretty, I like it. Whatever you choose Sonic, go with your heart. M3's in LSB, Santorini, YMB and a few of the other brighter blues that "pop".....really do the car justice IMO. This one will definately meet the criteria!!

Jockey · 11-04-2015, 06:05 PM

I like it.

Needsdecaf · 11-04-2015, 08:15 PM

Is that Maritime Blue or Club Blue? Maritime is a lot lighter in most pics.

I will also say that although Porsche makes many cool colors, 911 colors tend to highlight the rounded, curved form the car is known for. Modern BMW's have creases, and different surfacing. They respond well to metallic paints that show shadows well. 911's respond to flatter, or non metallic paints in brighter colors.

Can you tell that I've spent some time researching this? Go to Rennlist, and look at some of the PTS threads, particularly in the GT3 sub forum. Forum member Eduardo is a veritable encyclopedia.

Not worth 5k IMO

The sales man told me it was Maritime blue, But on the window sticker it just shows paint to sample. Would it be the first time a car sales man has incorrect info about a car they where trying to sell.

Thanks for the info

Looks cool but I got denied Porsche Sapphire blue. Even if you are able to push it through it will likely be the higher 7k price vs the standard 5k. Up to you if its worth it.

BwoodBMW · 11-04-2015, 11:18 PM

Do Mexico blue!

AnooooOH · 11-05-2015, 04:49 AM

If I could get a individual color for my car, I`d go for Verde Ithaca!!<3

shortseller · 11-05-2015, 08:20 AM

Save the $5, buy the Porsche.

Brosef · 11-05-2015, 09:27 AM

santorini is close enough, no? I'd just go with that

I totally agree! I was ready to do ind color but pulled the plug on that..
I invested in modes.

After seeing the Daytona Violet and Ferrari Red threads, I'd say those 2 colors are tough to beat. If I were going with an individual color, I'd go with one of those.

Sapphire is so close to Monte Carlo... Not worth it.

Horns0897 · 11-07-2015, 07:15 PM

Mexico or Riviera from the Porsche color palette.

chipotle_napkins · 11-07-2015, 11:23 PM

May I suggest a Gulf color scheme?
