Miami blue is a consultation prize for failing to get PTS Mexico blue. Miami turquoise should not be in the same sentence of Mexico blue.

Having seen both in person now, I actually prefer Miami Blue. What can I say, I'm an '80s fan.

Having owned a Riviera blue 997 Turbo I would have to say that Miami looks better in the flesh on a modern car, and Riviera/Mexico look better in pics.

Depending on what colors are offered on the 992 and future generations, people will saying how cool Miami Blue is and will be dishing out money for the PTS option. But obviously, colors are all subjective and I do love so many of the Porsche blues: Riviera, Mexico, Miami, Voodoo, Maritime..... Good to have options.

When I first saw Miami blue on a few regular 991s I did not like it, and still don’t, but on a GT3 it somehow looks really good.

Mexico Blue is a very nice blue that fits most 911 body styles well. HOwever, Miami on the GT3 is in another league - very unique, special looking color that screams exotic.

Miami gets very turquoise (green) with more light, Riviera just lighter. I guess Mexico is about the same as Riviera but darker.


Very accurate to how you see it in person. This is under sunlight, cloudy day. Riviera is an actual car, Miami a dealer sample

Miami looks awesome with all the black accents on .2 gt3. The little bit of green tint makes it work better with black. Imo

That comment echoes my exact opinion..I agree it suits the GT3, however after seeing photos of a new UK RS in Miami, i think it looks fantastic in it and possibly even better than LG..
