The paint shop manager for the Leipzig factory is either delusional or going off message in the latest issue of Christophorous however Smiley http://www.porsche.com/uk/aboutporsche/christophorusmagazine/367/articleoverview/article06/  I think he must be confused. The acronym Sofa clearly only means you can have the car in the average colour choice of most German home seating i.e. black, grey, beige, white or brown Smiley

The Leipzig plant combines state-of-the-art mass production with the exclusivity of a small workshop, where customization is possible. “We can, for example, paint any exterior color that the customer wants,” says Roland Töpfer, head of the paint shop, adding, “That’s what we have ‘Sofa’ for”—the special color system known by its German acronym. The system makes it possible to provide paint volumes for a single car, and even to change the color for each coat of paint.

That's a lie!! Then why do some paints not make it through the feasibility check!? Smiley They have a hyper modern paintfactory, worth half a billion and they are as flexible as concrete when it comes to colors! If someone wants a real paint-to-sample color on his or her car, the car has become an oldtimer,  the moment Porsche has approved the color!
