A Frozen Berry GTS looks smoking hot.
Look at Porsche Prestons showroom car.

Another demonstration of how black accents transform the Frozen colours...not just adding contrast, they also seem to make them look more intense. Probably looks even better in natural light.
(PS I wonder if, for the comfort access of the boot, he had a colleague just out of shot with the keyfob;))

? FBM GTS ST at my local centre... Looks Great imho but the colour might suit a saloon better?

I feel the CT has a few advantages over the ST for the lighter colours:
The gloss black rear window visor makes the side-on view more streamlined and less bulky and also better joins a pano roof with the rear window;
The plastic wheel arch trims reduce the amount of painted bodywork so making the side-on view less bulky (I realise I may be making a virtue out of what many perceive as a carbuncle?).

Agreed, I have a GTS ST on order and I intend to wrap the roof spoiler black for that reason. It makes the cabin look smaller and more streamlined...

Too much extra carbon for me on this comedt £25K extras dealer spec, doesn't need it but it still looks great.

Of course I don't have the cohones to order that colour myself
(Or Mamba, or Frozen blue)
I have 2 mates with FBlue and 1 with Mamba, bold fellows!

I have ordered my GTS in Crayon/Chalk after just selling my 4S in same colour
I know, boring, same colour, it's just the best colour! You can leave the calipers red
for great contrast and they look great through RS wheels

GTS black trim, badges, pan roof and RS wheels looks better with all bright and/or pale colours
Dark colours just hide the features, no contrast.

All the Taycans that stalk my local area are black and dark grey with a few Gentian Blue
OK if you want to try to fly under the radar and street park a lot?
That ship unfortunately sails when you buy a Taycan!
Those colours are, I am afraid, just a bit dull!

By the way, you have to have Race Tex in a GTS otherwise its not a GTS....
Just saying!!!
Cooler in summer, warmer in winter, no sliding about, soooo much more functional
This forum seems wonderfully obsessed with dead cow.
Someone pass the bucket quick please ?

Fine for a showroom car under lighting but on roads I think not.

I've seen one (yeah a solitary 1) with blackberry interior where the dealer principal quoted "I hope we don't get this one back on a trade"!

Each to their own!

Precisely why I changed my order from 4S CT to GTS sedan. I feel that especially with a pano roof, the body-colored rear window spoiler not only makes it look less streamlined in profile but also loses continuity between the roof glass and rear window glass. If anything, I would’ve thought a black rear spoiler would’ve been more appropriate for GTS trim than non-GTS since many other pieces are blacked out on GTS. I know that one can easily just wrap that spoiler in black, but it was even easier to just switch to a sedan when going GTS since I don’t really need the extra utility that the CT/ST offers to begin with.

Every colour looks good with RS Spyder's.

Dead cow is the choice over Race-Tex.

Easier to clean. Won't compact or go shiny from use.

Frozen blue CT in garage. Black trims (even more on CT off road bits) look great as a contrast for this color imo. Bonus pic with black RR in background for more contrast.

If I was allowed to choose leather steering wheel with the standard GTS racetex interior, I would've done it, as from my experience in the GT3, all the racetex stuff generally holds up well except for the areas on the steering wheel where hands frequently grab, making it matted down and worn over time.

Alas, that's not allowed, as I'd have to fork over an extra $5k+ for the GTS interior just to have racetex interior with a leather steering wheel. Racetex steering wheel on a daily driver is definitely a no-go for me.

I agree. For cost alone I would probably drop my choice of chalk/crayon leather interior, go for GTS standard Race-Tex, which is still nice, but add a leather carbon trim steering wheel. But alas, not possible.

So I've had to deck out the whole thing in leather, plus not overly keen on Race-Tex even in the high impact areas either (seats).

It seems to be a material more suited for occosional weekend/track driving, not for DD.

Frozen Blue is my NUMBER ONE favorite color for this car... BUT, my partner went to Duke, so anything even remotely resembling UNC Tarheel Blue is strictly verboten in our household, unless I plan on living in the ST LoL. So Carmine Red it is for me.

Go for it!

Interesting to see the South Lakes vid too....they have the white GTS ST in the showroom, but are waiting on their demonstrator. So either it's a customer car or seems similar to those dealers who have them but can't get them out on the road...
