I see they have a new colour on the configurator. Frozen Berry. Interested in people’s thoughts, defo marmite I suspect. After all, one mans “cool” is another mans “barbie car colour”!

Can you actually buy one in any colour?

Proper marmite colour - wonder if anyone will ever be brave enough to order one!

That would be a very brave choice. I think the chances of seeing one in the flesh before ordering will be slim to none. I've yet to see an Aventurine Green 718 in the flesh which is a colour I'm considering for our forthcoming GTS.

There are some Frozen Berry images on the Chinese site on the 2.0 Spyder: https://www.porsche.com/china/en/models/718/718-sp...

If anybody goes for it, I hope they really go for it and order the gold wheels too.

If it had been more red or purple, then it may have been an option. As it is, I prefer Racing Yellow still ...

People should always spec whichever colour they choose. Bravery shouldn't come into it as the car is for you and not for any of the other 7.8 billion persons out there so what does it matter what they think*. The OPC will always buy the car back so no huge issues for resale (for you, maybe for the OPC but that's their concern).

*As resale becomes a thought for so many, then it may be considered brave but I think that it's more about whether people are comfortable to be themselves or not; not bravery.

There used to be an option many years ago for PTS - Paint to Sample. I think that's what it was called. Give them something and they will copy the colour.

Didn't Katie Price have one in Shocking Pink? Cant find it so probably mistaken. I did find this one though.

Frozen Berry is too gay for me and I'm gay.

Perhaps a colour my wife would like but having seen it in the flesh (on a Taycan) - no thanks.

I quite like it, so I must be REALLY gay.

Not for me, but I can see the appeal of a more feminine colour, and thats not assuming the gender of any prospective purchasers.

I am sure I have seen this colour on a Taycan and it does nothing for the car or me, sorry. Be a brave person to spec it,
If you want bright why not go Green or Yellow
I would love Viola

I don’t think frozen Berry works at all… it’s not strong enough in tone for me.

That said I’m seriously considering lighter green if I get a pts slot so my eyes a probably wonky anyway!

Seen it On a Taycan didn't look great.
So that would be a no for me.

Mrs has an order in for a frozen berry Boxster. I think it looks quite nice, wouldn't spec it myself but then I probably wouldn't get a Boxster personally either.
