A comeback of historic colours for all Porsche models

Maritime Blue, Rubystar Red and Mint Green enjoyed cult status during the 1990s.

Porsche has announced a new focus, offering its customers various historic exterior colour options to individualise their Porsches.

These will be offered through its Paint to Sample and Paint to Sample Plus options.

“Unusual paint finishes have always been part of our brand since the very beginning. It is an important differentiating feature for some of our customers,” said Alexander Fabig, head of individualisation and classic. “With this offer, we are reviving cult-classic colours and expanding the extensive range by more than 160 shades across all model series.”

To support the growing demand, a new colour-mixing bench has been put into operation at the main plant in Zuffenhausen, where paint specialists blend several dozen ingredients down to the last milligram to achieve the desired shade.

The new colour range is diverse and depends on the model series and production location. For the 911 and 718 model series, there are more than 100 additional paint colours to choose from. For the Panamera, Macan and Cayenne, customers can choose from more than 50 options, while a further 65 exterior colours complete the offering for Taycan drivers.
