PTS 997's
#46
My Azurite Blue (37N) 2012 997 GTS. Just purchased it and it does require some work to get the paint back to new condition. I'll post better pics once the work is completed in a few weeks.
I have not actually been able to find any other 911 in this colour, let alone a 997. Azurite was available on the 944 from (I think) 1987-91, but I have not seen any examples of any other Porsche models. According to Rennbow, it is five paint cans rare. There are only 15 PTS 997 GTS models in the US (not sure if there were any for Canada), only seven of which are RWD manual coupes.

I think Azure is slightly lighter than Azurite. If you look under the fuel filler flap, you’ll see the actual paint code.

Zanzibar, about as rare as it gets on a 997.

@ebitda_911 Spectacular car. I looked at a Blue Turquoise PTS 997 before finding my current car. Love these more vibrant blues.

I may be wrong about this, or at least now I'm very confused. My paint shop is working on getting the right colour, and according to Glasurit both 37N and LY5D are the same colour. Rennbow lists Azurite as LY5D, but if you google around, LY5D always seems to be referred to as Azure...
