Ive been offered a Taycan GTS build slot in PTS for delivery in April 22.

I was thinking of going crayon but for around £4k more I could have a car that is really exclusive so am tempted.

I know its very personal but what would you go for!?

Tempted by Rubystar or Acid Green but not sure my balls are big enough :D

The Grey PTS selection looks great but shame most are flat paint and not metallic!

Is it really only £4k for PTS on a Taycan? I thought prices for PTS were being increased? At that price it’s actually not too bad if you really want a different colour. Personally I couldn’t justify it for my build so will stick to one of the Metallic colours at £774.

It’s c. £7k on a 911 GT3 and there’s a lot more paint on a Taycan!

PTS is £6k however if I went for Crayon its £1800 so only a £4k(ish) uplift!

Wow! so many choices plus not being able to actually see it other than on your computer. You have to be a little gutsy to pick any color.

I think if you're going to pay the extra make the most of it and go wild with the colour and make it stand out! Rubystar or Nogarobluemetallic look great!

I was between Acid green and Voodoo Blue and went Voodoo. I saw an Acid car and it was a bit too much for such a large sedan IMO

The Acid Green would look great on a 911, not so sure about an executive sedan like the Taycan. The darker greens (the olives, Irish green, British racing green) would be fantastic.

I secretly love Ultraviolet, too. ?

Brewster green looks nice too. I'm in the camp to only pay for PTS if significantly different than what's available. Brewster over chalk interior or truffle would be my pick

I’ve seriously considered the ivory, I think it’d look great on a taycan with a dark trim theme: carbon fiber sport design, cf mirrors, cf exclusive design wheels, black taillight strip etc. And with truffle interior!

PTS is normally at least an extra 6 months delay ...
