- 2023 Taycan GTS
@Alias very interesting to see your final three selections which were identical to mine.
I thought the car looked its best in Black. That was the colour of my test drive vehicle. A black body integrates the black front end, rear end and side skirt elements to present the best integrated representation of the Taycan shape. However my last car was all black and I vowed never again due to the maintenance. I imagine in Norway it would be a nightmare in winter to keep clean. With a heavy heart Black was eliminated.
Next was Ice Grey and this was in my configuration for quite a long time. Very nice colour which would compliment a black interior and I could accent with black finishes. I moved away from Ice Grey only because I’m not sure it is a classic Porsche colour and is a little more trendy. Put Frozen Berry in the same basket. Ice Grey was eliminated.
So in the end I decided on Dolomite Silver. More of a classic Porsche colour, supports an all black interior and it is something I can make look more aggressive. You can see a picture of the car I’ve order in my profile. I’ve gone with the 21” wheels in gloss black, gloss black brake calipers and gloss black Taycan GTS badge. This picks up the gloss black finishes in the side skirts, front end, rear end and side mirror base included in the GTS. I think the 21” wheels in black make the car look more aggressive and together with the Dolomite Silver keep it more traditional Porsche. What is traditional Porsche you might ask? Given its my first Porsche, its purely the perception that exists inside my head.
Hope this helps. Not an easy decision!
