In my area it's a very popular color amongst 718 GT4/Spyder, less so on 911s.

All Porsche GTS models are red at press time, a rather popular colour on Porsches, but in that case it is the beautiful Carmine red, which look more or less like the M2 in the video. Toronto red it's quite different in person unfortunately.

Looks great but I would never choose colour named by Toronto. Colour can be named as a mineral, race track or geographic area (dessert, sea, mountain, forest…) also colour can be descriptive (carbonblack, skyscraper grey, sunset orange…). This is deal breaker for me.

Carmine Red is a flat paint as well. Carmine is similar to Imola Red.

LOL what? Toronto gets hated on by Canadians of other provinces but given you are in Europe I'm not clear on what Toronto did to you that you couldn't accept a color named after it.

Correct, but in all the photos and videos seen so far on this thread TR looks mistakenly similar to Carmine Red (and thus Imola Red as you rightly say), but in reality it is not.
In photos TR looks similar to the 911 at the bottom, but it is actually more like the 911 at the top (but slightly less orangish).



This is probably the more accurate picture of TR I've seen.

BTW, I see TR daily and I formerly owned an Imola Red M car. Let me adamantly state that the two colors are nowhere like.

I wish Imola was offered or the availability to acquire it via individual paint was an option. I would have to seriously consider it.

Is Toronto red a popping colour

I my honest opinion, no. For a metallic paint I do not happen to see a lot of pop in it nor Brooklyn Grey. Odd given that they are both metallic paints.

Reading all the color related topics, I change my mind every single day. I am probably going to end up with AW just to be safe

With all due respect, this is one of the most ridiculous things I've read on this forum

I love AW, but white, black, and silver vehicles are all too common. I am also worried that AW would conceal many of the lines/creases on the G87 which personally I enjoy seeing.

Well, you are not a fan of how flat the TR and BG are after seeing them in person. AW and BSM are very common colors, which I agree. So you are ordering yours ZB then?

In the last couple of days I am actually leaning toward ZB because it is a rare light blue color that should stand out without being too brash like SPY on G80 and exclusive to G87. Curious to hear which way your are leaning with the exterior color...
