Key Topics and Highlights

Opening: Fine-Tuning the Livestream Setup and Viewers’ New Porsche Deliveries [00:30]

• Recent livestream archives have had audio and video sync issues, so the team is working on a fix by changing equipment.
• One viewer took delivery of a 986 Boxster. It seems like someone is taking delivery of a car every week.
• There’s plenty of activity: one viewer picked up a late-model 997 4S, while Cody is saying goodbye to his Macan 4 Electric.

Best Colors for the 911: The Popularity of Gray [09:00]

• One viewer’s favorite colors, in order, are Ice Grey Metallic, Slate Grey Neo, and Crayon.
• Ice Grey Metallic is wonderfully refined, sitting in that sweet spot between white and gray. It’s especially popular with women.
• Slate Grey Neo can look flat on screen, but in person it has more depth and dimension.
• The colors shown in Porsche’s configurator don’t always accurately represent how the paint looks in real life.

The Appeal and Popularity of GT Silver [13:53]

• GT Silver is a timeless classic—a color that’s hard to go wrong with.
• Hiro has been saying he’ll buy a car in GT Silver for ages, but never has. At the last minute, he always switches to another color.
• It strikes a great balance: sophisticated, yet unmistakably sporty. It’s a color that feels made for a Porsche.
• One viewer has ordered a 992 GTS in GT Silver, with delivery expected next year.
• The color is closely associated with the Carrera GT, which adds to its appeal and iconic image.

The Green-Car Trend: Oak Green Neo and Shade Green [16:02]

• Oak Green Neo has become especially popular—a fresh take on green with plenty of depth.
• Pair it with a beige or light-colored interior, or Club Leather in Truffle Brown, for a sophisticated, distinctly British feel.
• Shade Green is the color Cody’s wife likes best. It’s a pale green, almost like Crayon with a hint of green, and it’s popular with women.
• It looks beautiful in person at a Porsche Center and really catches the eye.
• Green tones work particularly well on the 911, whose shape has a famously frog-like character.

How Aventurine Green and Agate Grey Measure Up [30:00]

• Cody has owned cars in white, Crayon, Aventurine Green Metallic, and Ice Grey Metallic. Aventurine Green made the strongest impression on him.
• Aventurine Green is deep and grown-up—a color he’d love to have on a Turbo S.
• Agate Grey was popular in the 991 era and earned plenty of praise from people around him.
• According to a used-car dealer, Aventurine Green and Agate Grey command strong prices and tend to sell quickly when they come up for sale.

The Appeal of Blue: Meissen Blue, Gulf Blue, and Nashi Blue [34:42]

• Sapphire Blue is gorgeous. If you’re going to choose a blue, this is the one to go for—and it looks great on Instagram.
• Night Blue Metallic is popular, too. Its metallic finish sparkles in the sunlight.
• Meissen Blue (PTS) is one color the hosts would choose if they got a PTS allocation. It’s a little more subdued than Gulf Blue.
• Gulf Blue, Nashi Blue, and Meissen Blue can be difficult to tell apart, though Gulf Blue is a little brighter.
• Gentian Blue is a handsome, understated color, though some say it doesn’t hold its value as well.

Yellow and Other Standout Colors [43:45]

• Cartagena Yellow is one of Porsche’s more recent yellow shades and looks fantastic on cars like the GT3.
• Speed Yellow and Racing Yellow are vivid shades that suit the 911 beautifully.
• Ruby Star Neo has also become a popular choice. It’s a modern take on the Ruby Star seen on the 964.
• Yellow and black make for a wasp-like combination. One owner even shared a story about wasps being drawn to the car and starting to build a nest.

Why Interior Color Matters: The Popularity of Brown [48:03]

• Brown interiors are a classic pairing with Oak Green. Club Leather in Truffle Brown is a popular option.
• You can’t go wrong with a brown interior—it adds a stylish touch.
• Night Blue Metallic looks fantastic with Club Leather in Truffle Brown, too.
• Club Leather is a costly option at ¥980,000, but it adds a real sense of luxury.

PTS and Platinum Silver [59:29]

• Platinum Silver, now discontinued, was an elegant silver with a lighter look than GT Silver.
• PTS production slots are limited, so delivery usually takes longer than for a car in a standard color.
• A viewer asked to hear about PTS experiences, so the hosts are considering it as a future topic.

The 911 Looks Good in Any Color [58:57]

• Some colors can feel a little too bold on a 718 or other models, but the 911 seems to suit just about anything.
• It’s hard to make a bad choice with a 911. Whatever color you pick, it’s likely to look great.
• Its frog-like shape makes green shades especially flattering.

Ideas for Future Livestream Topics [59:57]

• Possible topics for upcoming shows include interior colors, options, tire brands, warranties, and car washing.
• There’s so much to cover about options that it could easily turn into a three-hour conversation.
• The hosts would also like to discuss viewers’ ideal configurations and dream second cars.
• The show depends on viewer comments, so send in your questions and ideas.

Charging at a Porsche Center [55:58]

• Charging a Macan at a Porsche Center’s fast charger cost ¥4,800 for a 50% charge. A full charge would be around ¥6,000.
• Without a monthly membership, charging is expensive. But with 150 kW chargers now widely available, paying for a membership may not make sense.
• It’s also possible to use Toyota (Lexus) 150 kW chargers, as Japan’s charging network continues to grow.
• Porsche may need to rethink its charging membership plan, or drivers may decide it’s not worth joining.
