Default Porsche Question - lime green...

I did some googling and almost signed up on a porsche forum but wanted to try here first....

Which years/models Porsche's are available in their lime green color?
I can't seem to find any current model year...

Like this:

Obviously this gt3rs, but what others?

thanks in advance!

That's Signal Green, and AFAIK only comes in the current GT3 RS and Cayman S Sport. I've seen pictures of early regular 997's in Signal Green but I don't know if it's still a standard color. I've also seen a current GT2 special ordered in that color.

If you're willing to consider ANY year or model, here you go! All shades of green from Porsche

The current (997.2) GT3 RS doesn't have Signal Green as a standard color choice. The 997.1 GT3 RS had a definite 70s theme in its color choices.

That car would be perfect with some Takata Green rims.

^that'd be gross with too much green and absolutely no contrast. Only white on white or black on black would work. Other bright colors on same color wheels look retarded.

ok...thanks guys.

I'm trying to surprise my wife with a sports car...of course one that I would enjoy too...She loves the lime green color.

She doesn't want an Elise and I'm not into the Gallardo, so I'm leaning probably towards a Cayman S....we shall see.

- So you are telling us that when you shop for cars - Color choice comes before price, company, styling, HP, handling etc etc. You know for a few thousand $ you could paint ANY car that color.

The 1970s Porsche colors are amazing- Mexico Blue, Signal Green, Continental Yellow. I love them.
