Edit: Added screenshot.

Oh I was wrong about Ruby Star; it’s available across the 718 line for the same “special color” price as Shark Blue.

I thought that was Porsche’s original plan. Something was dropped for it, I believe it was Miami Blue?

I feel like Porsche is soon going to get to the point where anything other than maybe Black and White are "special colors" or PTS.

Miami blue was not a standard color for the 718. The Ruby star slot in the color chart was orange when I ordered my car, but I think orange was dropped for a silver or grey color sometime mid year.

I was guessing… I do recall reading several months ago within the PCA that Ruby Star was a replacement for a discontinued color.
