First, I'll likely be able to order a new Cayman S, later this year. Money won't be a problem and so I'm going to spec it out the way I want it. Let me also say that I am sixty and this will be my main driving car. So every minute spent in it is extra special. This is my first post in what may be a series regarding this order. It could be fun to see what happens.
I belong to one of the smaller groups who really likes Malachite green. Though it's still available in the U.S. as a special color, they have dropped it in Germany and perhaps some other countries. So I was thinking it might become a color to sample color here to. Not a problem. But this got me investigating into other Porsche greens that I might find more attractive that I would pay about the same for as a color to sample....in other words: my horizons widened.
So, I discovered a color that I might like more (haven't seen it in real life): Porsche color #93 Granite Green Metallic. Compared to Malachite it's lighter, and far more gray than green. It's also seems to be very difficult to photograph as reflection from the blue sky seems to easily wash the green away entirely in most of the photos I've seen.
Not surprisingly, I have not found a pic of a Cayman in this color. But I feel it would be exceptional for two reasons: 1. A Cayman dresses really nice in grays (this is a green gray). 2. I have a special real leather to sample I'm willing to put out for that will look exceptional with this color (another thread....either I pay Porsche or someone less to do it).
Here are some pictures I've found. If you can help find others that are not just gray, I'd really appreciate it. Or, better yet, if you own this color Porsche and have some pictures to share, that will be beyond too cool.
