My Taycan GTS in PTS Viola Metallic ?
Belated greetings. I wonder how many of us there are out there. Mine's a 2024 RWD, and I know that at least one other was produced around the same time and ended up at a dealer in the Los Angeles area. Somebody uploaded an unboxing video in 2022 somewhere in Ohio. Do you know of any others? There's a professional photographer in France who has a GT3 in this color that has posted a bunch of photos to another site.

Yes, I know at least of three other Taycan in Viola Metallic. One Taycan GTS Sport Turismo in Germany, one Taycan RWD Sport Tursimo in Belgium and one Taycan 4S sedan in the US.

I wonder if the 4S you're referencing is the one I saw the unboxing video of. It's such a difficult color to capture in photographs - all of the ones in your last post look much brighter and more heavily saturated than mine typically looks, even in direct bright sunlight:

I do have STEK DynoShield on it, perhaps that makes it look darker.

I think you said you had a black interior - I went with the Slate Gray Race-Tex. I can't tell from your photos whether you also did the side mirrors in the body color. I decided that I wanted to maximize the violet, which was part of the reason I went with the metal roof.

Don't think so. The 4S I'm referencing to is from Tennessee and I haven't seen any unwrapping video of it on the instagram account.

It really depends on the angle the light hits the car and from where you take the photo. But in bright sunlight it's normally quite easy to get nice shots.

Which wheels are these? Are these OEM?
These are current generation Taycan Exclusive Design wheels with polished front side/spoke. Multiple different finishes you can spec. They will fit j1.1

I read somewhere that the j1.2 wheels used a different TPMS which caused issues for j1.1 drop in replacement.
