As a Mamba Green owner, I am clearly a bit biased. With that said, I am constantly getting compliments on the Mamba Green color. I was told the same story about resale with my Lava Orange Cayenne Turbo Coupe and that car sold in one day. Hmm……

haha love this!!!

Agree 100%. If you are making a purchase and already thinking about resale, that's baking a compromise into your decision making process. If you are buying for yourself, then you are compromising with a stranger. That's sad and you'll end up regretting it.
seriously good way of looking at it !!! thanks for this...... Im die hard boringly sensible..... and am new to spending my money on cars....... but very much looking forward to going the club....... and actually looking forward to driving some obnoxiously colourful ones in the future :)))))))

I’ve been having similar thoughts about Mamba, I’ve specified Carmine and then thought about getting PTS Olive Green, currently desiring Mamba!

Carmine is going to be very common for the GTS so you could argue that would make it more difficult to sell due to the number available.

I saw a load of CR parked up yesterday,,,,, I must admit, they looked gorgeous and so so well in GTS!! Mind you, such a nice 'problem' to be able to have !!! looking forward to seeing what you decide !

As I saw this car advert yesterday and you’ve now mentioned the colour ugly I’d post it up so you can see it (if you haven’t already seen the colour on a car)

PTS Olive Green
That one is Oak Green, the one I was thinking about is Olive Green and more like a murky pond, picture here from Grand Tourismo 7

Exterior colour is just one of many options that may attract or put off potential buyers, but I don't think any have the potential to affect resale value as much as the rapidly evolving EV market, especially in the case of a premium brand's first EV. There are safer (as in more predictable) options for putting £100k in to a premium German vehicle, so the question becomes does the exact Taycan you are considering make you that much more excited than the alternatives to justify the potential additional cost over your period of ownership?

Can I ask a silly Q- with PTS, can you get any colour (don't laugh, like pain match sampling) or does it have to be a colour that Porsche do ? In which case, I might have to PTS Miami blue !!!!!!! I just LOVE the orange and yellow pictures though!! wow just amazing !!!!!!

There used to be two levels of PTS:

Level 1 - c. £6k was for any colour from a defined list of colours supplied by Porsche

Level 2 - c. £12k was for any colour you supply. The difference being that as this is a brand new colour Porsche have not used previously, they need to undertake a lot of testing of the paint on different surfaces - metal bodywork, plastic bumpers etc for feasibility and durability.

Not sure if both of these options are available for the Taycan in all countries.

Now we're talking - I would have this green in a heartbeat.

Not sure on Silverstone's pricing - way over MRP!!!

I went into Guildford and asked to see the PTS colours, expecting something like a Dulux catalog. I was taken to the configuration room and someone came in with a special aluminium suitcase full of paint swatches all beautifully presented, quite worth the visit for the theatre of it ?

Keith - Mamba is a special color! I keep telling my wife that Porsches painted in “Skittles” candy colors looks the best. Here’s some in the flesh shots of my Mamba Green Machine to help you decide :)
