Hi there

So this video is out today

What do you think of the new color now that there’s a full video of it and not just pics on configurator ?

For those who already ordered, Does it confirm your choice? , Any regrets ?

For those who thought of it and went on other color, Would you go for it now ?

Likes or dislikes , Comments , Would be great

I loved Gentian Blue on my 718 Boxster as it changed colour depending on the sunlight, going from quite a dull blue in poor light to an almost vibrant purple in bright sunshine. The only thing I hated was that it marked so easily. I'm told it had a light grey base coat so any stone chips or light scratches were really obvious. It will be interesting to see it on a Macan in the flesh.

Gratuitous Picture

Of the current standard metallic colours, it would be my second choice after Dolomite silver. I do not like whites, blacks or dark greys. or dark metallics in general although I prefer some "colour" to none, so mahogany and night blue would be my third/ fourth choices. If I was ordering another Macan and wanted a change from Dolomite I would be very split between Gentian and paying the extra for Carmine Red

Thanks for posting! I have ordered an 2022 S in this colour, with the same interior trim, so happy to “see” it for the first time. Based in the video very happy with my choice, it looks different in bright light when you get a bit more purple hue, but overall I like the fact that it changes hues depending on how the lightfalls on it. I was a bit concerned how it would look in less than ideal light conditions, but think it holds up well. I hope you don’t mind me sharing the video on another forum.

Looks great, but would have to lose the silver trim for me.

Not that I'm in the market for a new Macan but I think that Porsche would have been better keeping Sapphire Blue and dropping Night Blue. Gentian Blue looks great and combined with Sapphire Blue would have given the range light and dark Blue options. IMHO Miami Blue is not right for an SUV.
