    Never saw/heard about this colour, but it looks not bad. Really unique colour, but I wouldn't buy a porsche in green.

    That's a brave choice. It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would look on a turbo, but, maybe on a GT3 it would look more convincing. Well, congratulations to the owner, he certainly has a unique car.

    The 60's and 70's, thats when Porsche had some really bold colors like orange, brown, yellow, black, red, blue, green, and white. All the colors from a Crayola 8 pack.

    I love it! It needs black rimes though to even it out and tinted windows.

    I love to look at it, I'm such a sucker for those jellybean colors from the early '70s.

    But given the choice between taking that home and one in Seal Grey? I'll take subtle.

    I remember another color from the 70's that was very nice, I believe it was called Ice Green, a light metallic green.....

    One of those "retro" colors that looks much better on the old car than it does on the new one.

    Noted this car in San Diego. Not easy to miss this car when you drive by that dealer. Bright green is back.

    Is this color custom or is it offered from the factory?

    It's a "color to sample" option direct from the factory.

    Man it must be fun to do that- find your favorite color and give it to Porsche for your new car.

    Gag reflex ...

    This car is just down the street from me here in La Jolla at Symbolic, although these pictures appear to be from Pioneer. I saw it in person at the local car wash when I was getting mine washed. The pictures do not do it justice. The green is much brighter - nearly florescent. This is truly an ugly car. Absolutely, mind-blowingly, hideous. And the interior is REALLY awful.

    Re: Unique color - Viper Green

    Saw this in Edinburgh today, in a spooky coincidence as I had just seen a Cobalt 997S and was wondering what it might look like in Mexico Blue.

    Is this Mexico, Riviera, Maritime or what - anyone know ?

    Re: Unique color - Viper Green

    Riviera Blue I think. I'm out in Edinburgh a lot but I've never spotted that. I wonder if the car was bought from Edinburgh Porsche. I myself have put down a deposit for a 997 but might just go for a 996 Turbo instead.
