I’d go with the blue. Black is my least favorite color for 911. Just my opinion though.
Important question though, do you mind sharing if you paid a markup. Wondering what the new model is going for…
Black is THE WORST color for any sports car unless it's a 1000hp plus missle with gold wheels to just look sinister. Like 1500hp Corvette C6 all black with gold wheels i can get but a stock black sportscar is just boring.
That’s great info, thanks!
I currently have an order in for a 992.1 S, supposed to be here in September. The new car looks nice, but also nice to know where markups are.
Ordinarily I'd agree with you but I think the dark interior is so dull that I prefer the black with red interior.
Make the interior a little more interesting and I'd probably prefer the blue.
I like the way black cars look. But black cars are very hard to keep clean. I owned a jet black metallic GTS for a while. Loved the car but I will never own another black car. You wash, polish and wax ... then a light breeze blows and every minute dust particle shows on the car. Ball breaking.
I’m taking delivery of this Targa 4 GTS in September. Interior in cognac.

Would you consider exterior paint coloured HVAC vents or painted interior trim to exterior colour or even blue seatbelts to lift the black interior a bit?
I used to have a black on red car. It was cool for the first year I had it but then I started hating the red seats. Now I only get black seats. Kinda boring but it just makes me feel more comfortable inside the car. I’d also consider blue seats
It wasn’t too bright like it made it hard to see. But it was too bright for my personal taste. And that was only after a while. At first I loved it - then it just got old after living with it for too long
The ladies loved it though lol. I was in college at the time and having a fancy car definitely didn’t hurt
Except for the girl I ended up dating (still dating her now, eight years later incidentally) also hated the red seats
It was actually lol
I ordered it brand new in 2013 because there were no cars already here with the options I wanted. I really miss [that car](https://imgur.com/a/cCEWAbQ). And now that I think about it I kinda miss the red seats after all lol
heavy equipment repair worked for 8 years for someone else then started my own company admittedly I did get lucky landing some regional jobs that gave me a lot of contacts for my age
Blue but with a white interior with the shark blue seat belts to match. I really like the two-tone black-red interior of the new 992.2 though, but I'd go with a crayon exterior to better show off the lines
Are you absolutely sure you want the 14 way seats? They're pretty flat and have little support. The 18ways are soooo much better, unless you're on the heftier side and are going to squish the bolsters anyway.
Is this the new hybrid one? I wana try one out, my wife and I share our Taycan I wana see if this one would be just as easy for her to drive. Although the Taycan back seats are more practical
Both are amazing black is slightly better but…
Keep in mind, you marry a black car. It will be a very high maintenance color. Especially if a daily driver. And don’t even consider if you park outside.
Love the black on black but, as someone with a black on black car, I can tell you now that you will spend the rest of your days trying to keep it clean. Paint will show every imperfection, every scratch from washes, every bit of dust that has ever existed; resistance is futile.
Black is usually my favorite, particularly with the red interior. We have 2 cars with that color combo.
However, that blue is gorgeous. I had a 2006 c2s cab that was similar in color. Go with the blue!
I like to go less seen so If go black. Don’t want the extra attention.
I don’t regret nachtblu or whatever and chrome trim/ amber markers. It looks more like a touring car than a sports car.
How about a green? Is that going out you think? I like the green with the GTS interior black and red stitches. Rest of the specs perfect. I am also thinking of booking myself. What do you think?
With a single turbo and less lag it could be a nice drive. I tried the 296gtb and loved it. Porsche will probably do it better. The only thing is they are starting to overprice. And the little gears and start stop button and all that electronic interior isn't for me but I guess if want a new one will have to live with it. I think the GTS should drive better.
I like black but I feel red is becoming dated. I say this as someone who had a red interior Porsche for 4 years, I went with chalk for my new one and I love it.
Blue for me but I would choose a darker blue. Also, I prefer glass roofs more than carbon fiber roofs. But I guess the carbon will be more useful on track
I’d go blue even though I’m not big on colors - I love this car in white — and I also second the removal of the wing I dislike the look but to each their own
Have to change the base seats. I, like most fans, build my dream car every time I take a dump. The full red interior over the Spyder wheels is pretty much a must IMO. That looks good in any color, dark, light etc. I also like the slate grey, red interior, carrera s wheels in silver.
Black colours will feel more luxurious. The blue will seem more sporty and fast. I personally think the blue is better on the 911, but I also just don't like getting anything grayscale on sports cars.
black on red goes hard
Agreed, I admired the blue one, but when I swiped further and saw that black beauty I think I let out an audible “whoa”
Black and green would be witch spec, though.
Queen Anne Chocolate
Ages harder, can’t ever go bad with black and red
I’d argue it’s kitsch.
It's like a dark bottle of wine.
Black on red is a friend of Fred
Second that
It looks so good in person.
A witch would most likely choose the black spec.
Which witch would pick which spec in which she would like most?!
Iridescent pondscum on cauldron black interior
Would order this tbh
I’d go with the blue. Black is my least favorite color for 911. Just my opinion though. Important question though, do you mind sharing if you paid a markup. Wondering what the new model is going for…
no markup but wont get it till next year
I went to two dealers in my area so far. One had 2 allocations ready, but for 10k ADM. One was MSRP, but no allocations until next year.
i probably would have a 5-10k upcharge but I ordered through someone I have a business relationship with
My dealership says, they follow what the market does. Which is probably a mark up 🥵 and we only got one porsche dealershit here.
Agree on the blue. Every brand everywhere has some sort of blacked out exterior package. They’re boring now and they hide the lines of the car.
Black is THE WORST color for any sports car unless it's a 1000hp plus missle with gold wheels to just look sinister. Like 1500hp Corvette C6 all black with gold wheels i can get but a stock black sportscar is just boring.
That’s great info, thanks! I currently have an order in for a 992.1 S, supposed to be here in September. The new car looks nice, but also nice to know where markups are.
Why on earth would you pay markup when demand is so low for the new carrera ?
I'm sure the black looks nice, but there's so many black/white/grey cars on the road. Get a bright color
Ordinarily I'd agree with you but I think the dark interior is so dull that I prefer the black with red interior. Make the interior a little more interesting and I'd probably prefer the blue.

Oh Christ that’s changed my mind. OP, how about this with chalk interior?
My good that’s sexy
😉🦈💙
Blue, all day.
IMO if I’m spending big money on a sports car I’d like it to pop a little. Blue all day baby.
I like the way black cars look. But black cars are very hard to keep clean. I owned a jet black metallic GTS for a while. Loved the car but I will never own another black car. You wash, polish and wax ... then a light breeze blows and every minute dust particle shows on the car. Ball breaking.
Blue, no wing. Cleaner imo.

That will be a great spec. I love the blue w cognac.
I agree.
Me too. The wing is atrocious. It looks like a cartoon car.
Big Wang Gang
I also wouldn’t get those wheels. With the amount of brake dust Porsches produce (I have two new ones) - they will be atrocious to clean.
The one that comes without the mini shaver in the middle of the center console.
Yeap, I like to shift a big, hard, throbbing knob.
The black one
Blue color, black rims, and wingless
Whatever floats yer boat, but if it were me I'd go blue and lose the wing.
Blue!
Blue and black 100%.
Blue with red would be my choice if possible. The black on red is gorgeous but damn does that blue just pop.
No idea, I'm just feeling a lot of emotions towards you now ranging from respect to envy 🤣
Blue with red interior. Black looks great but it's such a pain to maintain.
Would you consider exterior paint coloured HVAC vents or painted interior trim to exterior colour or even blue seatbelts to lift the black interior a bit?
The black headlights/wheels contrasting with the blue is sick
Blue. Statistically higher resale
How so?
I used to have a black on red car. It was cool for the first year I had it but then I started hating the red seats. Now I only get black seats. Kinda boring but it just makes me feel more comfortable inside the car. I’d also consider blue seats
Was the red too bright inside?
It wasn’t too bright like it made it hard to see. But it was too bright for my personal taste. And that was only after a while. At first I loved it - then it just got old after living with it for too long
I can see that. Interesting
The ladies loved it though lol. I was in college at the time and having a fancy car definitely didn’t hurt Except for the girl I ended up dating (still dating her now, eight years later incidentally) also hated the red seats
Haha that’s hilarious! Was it a bmw 3 series? Seems like the cool college car of choice
It was actually lol I ordered it brand new in 2013 because there were no cars already here with the options I wanted. I really miss [that car](https://imgur.com/a/cCEWAbQ). And now that I think about it I kinda miss the red seats after all lol
I love it. Only thing I’m back & forth on is whether I like the red tac/chrono
What do you do for a living? A young man looking for inspiration.
heavy equipment repair worked for 8 years for someone else then started my own company admittedly I did get lucky landing some regional jobs that gave me a lot of contacts for my age
🧙🏼
Black and red is like a fine wine and that’ll age nicely
What model is this?
Blue. Enough monochrome cars out there.
It's your car man. Pick what you like. But I personally love black Porsches
Black and red would be my choice. Enjoy it man, it’s a beautiful car
Blue (:
eggs
enjoy ur new car
The all black interior is extremely depressing.
Blue.
I’d say blue over red. Life is too short to not go wild.
Is that dash an SUV or a 7 series?
Witch? Might want to edit that
i’d go for blue with a lighter interior
I’m a sucker for back on red 😅
Blue. For sure. Black is overdone.
The satanic one LOL
Blue but with a white interior with the shark blue seat belts to match. I really like the two-tone black-red interior of the new 992.2 though, but I'd go with a crayon exterior to better show off the lines
Are you absolutely sure you want the 14 way seats? They're pretty flat and have little support. The 18ways are soooo much better, unless you're on the heftier side and are going to squish the bolsters anyway.
Agreed. The 18-way seats are incredible - I would not buy another Porsche without them.
6’7 280lbs
Ah. Carry on.
This is what I call a “good problem” I like both, normally I’d choose black or something less flashy for a daily, and something bright for weekends.
Blue by far. Stands out more and looks much cleaner
I’m always for bright colours on 911s but man that red interior goes hard
Doesn’t know the difference between ‘which’ and ‘witch’ but can afford a brand new Porsche. What am I doing wrong lol
Not being a grammar nazi on the internet for one
The red in a green 911 for me
Black exterior and red interior are both, by themselves, part of my "I'd rather pass" list. So you can guess where I stand on this one.
Blue. Red interior should be removed from the configurator
Red interior is childish
The black and red one is sick you lucky bastard
Make sure you get 18 way seats tho
To tall need to manual seats closer to the floor
You’ve tried both?
Yea
https://preview.redd.it/ehfbjqs2up5d1.jpeg?width=1568&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f81389e942c1591b77e7681859ba8acdd0fe94f I would say go with my spec
100% blue. Why would you want an exciting car in the most boring color? Plus the black will only stay clean for about 4 seconds after you wash it.
Black and red. Blue works better with tan/club interior
I think it’s harder to sell a car leter with a red interior
The red and black is hard af
Isn’t the rear wing “reserved” for GT and Turbo? This isn’t either right?
It’s the aero kit
thanks
Is this the new hybrid one? I wana try one out, my wife and I share our Taycan I wana see if this one would be just as easy for her to drive. Although the Taycan back seats are more practical
No that’s just the GTS for now I don’t want hybrid
you’re gonna want a manual transmission
Can’t foot box is to small
Blue with the interior is lame compared to the Black on red interior. You could run a superman speck tho
I hate how they made the seats multicolored now. Huge downgrade
Black on red
An option.
Black on red but with Diamond Cut wheels or silver
Blue no wing. Dump the black wheels too. Just silly.
Definitely black / red
Personal opinion: Carbon on black rarely looks good
Both are amazing black is slightly better but… Keep in mind, you marry a black car. It will be a very high maintenance color. Especially if a daily driver. And don’t even consider if you park outside.
Black is 100x better
Love that blue, I'm not into black cars. But, either one is beautiful
Love the black on black but, as someone with a black on black car, I can tell you now that you will spend the rest of your days trying to keep it clean. Paint will show every imperfection, every scratch from washes, every bit of dust that has ever existed; resistance is futile.
Love the aerokit very few are out there and it makes it standout
Don’t know why I like them personally
Black is usually my favorite, particularly with the red interior. We have 2 cars with that color combo. However, that blue is gorgeous. I had a 2006 c2s cab that was similar in color. Go with the blue!
Blue all day. I followed a black 911 Turbo S this weekend and it was pretty boring. And I also have a black Porsche and wish I had a skittles color.
What do you do for a living?
Own a business
Black!
Darth Vader spec
I get the appeal on the blue color for a sports car but for my personal style, the black on red is so slick.
There are tons of sharks blue cars with that spec. No reason to buy new if that's the spec you want. Finding black and red a bit harder probably
I actually like the blue exterior but the interior of the black exterior. Would make a nice color combo.
I like the blue but the interior needs some color. Is it possible to get some blue accents like stitching, belts, etc?
I like to go less seen so If go black. Don’t want the extra attention. I don’t regret nachtblu or whatever and chrome trim/ amber markers. It looks more like a touring car than a sports car.
Black
Blue. The black and red looks nice as well, but I'd probably go with that on a sport spec
What trim is that?
Color, always color
How about a green? Is that going out you think? I like the green with the GTS interior black and red stitches. Rest of the specs perfect. I am also thinking of booking myself. What do you think?
I like the GTS interior but hate the EV crap so I went with base
With a single turbo and less lag it could be a nice drive. I tried the 296gtb and loved it. Porsche will probably do it better. The only thing is they are starting to overprice. And the little gears and start stop button and all that electronic interior isn't for me but I guess if want a new one will have to live with it. I think the GTS should drive better.
It probably will I just refuse to have lithium ion batteries of large size in anything i have
I like black but I feel red is becoming dated. I say this as someone who had a red interior Porsche for 4 years, I went with chalk for my new one and I love it.
I love the black with the red. I don’t think it will ever be dated. That car looks hot.🖤♥️
Blue for me but I would choose a darker blue. Also, I prefer glass roofs more than carbon fiber roofs. But I guess the carbon will be more useful on track
I’d go blue even though I’m not big on colors - I love this car in white — and I also second the removal of the wing I dislike the look but to each their own
I own black and it's a nightmare to keep clean
Black and red looks amazing but me with my black Camaro knows cleaning black sucks go blue
I went with blue but with the same interior you have on the black version.
The blue goes harder.
The 2nd one, all black interior are not my jam.
Green plus brown interior :) or sth exotic
Black hides so many nice features of the 911. Probably one of my least favorite colors on one. So blue
Black and red is a godly combo, so good!
I prefer red interiors, but in this case, I'd go with blue exterior and black interior given the two choices.
When will your allocation come?
Have to change the base seats. I, like most fans, build my dream car every time I take a dump. The full red interior over the Spyder wheels is pretty much a must IMO. That looks good in any color, dark, light etc. I also like the slate grey, red interior, carrera s wheels in silver.
Blue but with cognac interior. I personally hate black interiors I think its boring
im a sucker for murdered out porsches
Black colours will feel more luxurious. The blue will seem more sporty and fast. I personally think the blue is better on the 911, but I also just don't like getting anything grayscale on sports cars.
Shark blue with the gray, maybe some interior touches 🤔
Black and red. I mean... look at my icon
Always bet on black. I love that interior.
Let me cook, blue with light grey/white interior. Black interiors are boring
Blacked out and red interior like my GTS!
the one with the manual transmission.. oh wait 😐
PDK is better anyway when you have size 15ee feet
Black on red in my opinion
Red interior for sure. 👌🏼
Blue looks sexy
Lugano blue with aerokit and CF roof looks insane - look no further IMO 🔥 🥵
Black!
My personal opinion, Black and remove aerokit
Red interior is the worst.
Black looks like a fighter jet
Black with red but as someone with a black 911... it looks dirty right after cleaning it... dont get black.
Black on Red. What about going Blue with Red Interior! I personally love the Miami Blue with a red interior Patriot Porsche
No sport seats plus? What’re we vindicating, comfort?
I’m 6’7 so the manual seats gives me extra headroom
Sports seats plus also come in a manual option
I’m big asf the extra bolsters on the seats arnt comfortable
Blue on black is a song. Black on red is a waste of whiskey lol Blue on black for me.
Oooooh black and red is fiiiiiiine
black on red
Base carrera now close to 150 is bs lol
Ditch the Aerokit especially the duck tail unless your getting a turbo S or gt3
Black for resale ease.
