Mahogany is a much maligned colour, I quite like it. Maybe not in a weak British sun, but in sunnier climbs it really looks nice.

A 65 plate mahogany Macan passed me in Halifax today. First time that I have ever seen Mahogany on a Macan and had to look twice as it looked almost black in overcast weather conditions. Looked better than I thought it would but suspect it looks different in sunlight.
I saw one on holiday in Mallorca last year. In sunnier climbs it looked fantastic, definitely one for California and the Med.

I did see a Mahogany one years ago in Hemel, around 2015 when they first come out. Not great, a very different prospect in the UK.

I'd definitely wager it's the rarest UK colour, rarer than PTS I'd say :lol:

Wow. Never seen one of them let alone two! Stunning colour. When I ordered mine (sapphire blue) I didn’t even know PTS was a thing. How much extra does it cost (if you don’t mind me asking)?

It cost me an extra £3k and almost a years wait. It's brighter than that Mayan blue which looks closer to voodoo blue

Could you have had it wrapped for that price and opted for a more conventional colour underneath?

Now why on earth would I do that? So fed up of white black grey. I chose it for me not for the next owner! Might even wrap it in my other favourite colour viper green! If it's the wait you are talking about- well a good OPC and some careful timing with my last car made it bearable.

Those two GTSes in that blue look great. You even found a nice but plain Volvo to show them off :-)

The odds of finding a PTS friend like this must be pretty long.
