Mamba Green and Cherry Red colors are gone

[Rusk]

wow the price increases mean that my same car I ordered now would cost £7K more! Sad to see mamba go as I love mine and think it really makes the Taycan look special

No idea what ‘Cherry Red’ is, within the UK configurator- the only red type colour shown is Carmine Red, as far as I am aware, I think that was the only pre-set Red option at the time of my order last year and present:

Cherry Red Metallic is my favorite color on the Taycan:

Frozen Berry is the only one left I genuinely like, I am not sure I would have bought a Taycan at all from the current configurator.
There are some I quite like, Gentian and Coffee, but most are meh or ugh.

I saw a Coffee Beige at the dealers 3 weeks ago and it was double ugh (honest).

At this rate Porsche are forcing people into PTS territory as the colour choice originally was pants (apart from the boring colours you don't like) and now further reduced (for now). Coming to work today I was behind a Frozen Blue Turbo - confirmed my original dislike for the colour.

Looks great in photos (just like Carmine Red does) however in real life in non brilliant sunshine disappoints unfortunately.

I've seen only one Cherry Red Taycan in person and it was more stunning in person. But yeah... lighting plays a huge part.

My Porsche SA called me this morning after I sent him a text earlier asking about my Mamba Green GTS ST on order. He reassured me that these changes are from MY24 onwards so don't affect my order which has a build week around 12th June. If everything goes to plan, I should have one of the last Mamba Green cars.

No Cherry Red and Mamba Green were always on UK configurator but they're gone now...

Porsche Austin has (had?) a Frozen Berry RWD Taycan on the showroom floor when I was picking mine up. It looked really good, I think it is one of those colors that depends on good pictures, or seeing it in person.

I have only seen coffee in photos and liked it, though I prefer to drink coffee black.

I love a nice metallic burgundy and the cherry changes colour with the light, though not as much as Mamba which is amazing and doesn’t show the dirt as badly as I expected.

GT Silver being one I hope....

IIRC, Porsche has only ever put GT Silver on their sports cars.

Is a Panamera classed as that - because you can spec GT Silver on that - your logic is incorrect, at least in the UK

And Mahogany and maybe others I didn't notice, the colour choice area looks very sparse compared to what I am used to.
They have dropped a lot of PTS colours too.
It happened yesterday, probably (IMHO) because they sold shares and IME short term share price and dividend becomes the main business objective once this happens.
Two engineering businesses were emasculated by going public around here.

This happens often when the configurator is being updated for MY changeover. I don't think it has anything to do with the share price.
