I went for the flat white, because I wanted a light color to better show the lines. Instead of spending money on metallic white, I rather save the money to wrap the car if I find a better color of my liking.

I would NEVER wrap a car again - cost me a lot in paintwork on my last car as it peeled off the paint when I took it off!

Black leather with red seat belts. I also considered red leather but it would have been too much red.
I agree, but it would have been cool as well. :) My wife hated that, though. :(

I had all the usual colors of cars so far. I recently saw a pretty new 911 in Mamba Green. Wow that was a head turner! So when we ordered the Taycan 4S I asked my wife about the Green and she said not acceptable at all! So Carmine Red it is. I think it fits to the car because it looks a lot like a real sports car.

Come on people! Bring back color! Black and white are the most boring choices. Black is the color you get if you don’t like the styling and would prefer if none of the details of your car were actually all that visible. Red, Blue, Green. Mix it up. Flat white is great on older cars without crisp detailing, but on a modern car?

What kind of wrap did you have? That should never happen with a quality wrap and install.

White brings out the design features and styling of the car better than any other color. It also makes the car look a bit larger and more angular. Black is the color to get if want to accentuate and integrate the overall shape of the car, and want to minimize the angles and size. Everything else is certainly more interesting from a color standpoint, but doesn't have the extreme effect on the shape and styling that white and black do.

I have seen the Carmine red on Panamera and Carrera. Amazing color. also unique, which is something I am looking for, as I consider this a unique car. But I am leaning toward Frozen Blue though, but will not place my order until I actually can drive the vehicle and see the colors on some....my dealer in Atlanta claims that they will receive demo end of this month.

I totally agree, I wanted the mission e concept so bad, if any body has a lead on wheels that look like the mission e concept, let me know. thought the black might make the front end blend in more and the black taillights. Oh yeah,. I read somewhere where white weighs less, so you will win in a drag race he he, you really can't go wrong

It is also a known fact that red cars get more tickets than any other color...:giggle:

That is NOT an understated car. If that's your style - it is beautiful.
Very true.

I think this is one of the few cars I've known that's not really understated - especially not in Mission E style wheels, but that's not vulgar or ostentatious either
