2027 Porsche 718 EV Colors Guide (USA) – The 2027 Porsche 718 EV (the all-electric successor to the Boxster and Cayman, codenamed 983) is confirmed for production starting in 2027, with U.S. deliveries expected later that year or into the model year. Official exterior and interior color options have not been released as of August 2026 because the car has not yet had its public debut (widely anticipated later in 2026).
Porsche typically carries forward popular shades from the current 718 lineup and aligns them with contemporaneous models such as the 911 and Taycan, while expanding personalization through Paint to Sample and Paint to Sample Plus programs. U.S. buyers can expect a mix of solid, metallic, and special colors, plus extensive customization.
Expected Standard Exterior Colors for the 2027 Porsche 718 EV
Based on the final gasoline 718 models (through 2025) and the 2027 Porsche 911 color palette, these shades are the most likely candidates for standard or no-cost/extra-cost options on the 718 EV in the U.S. market:
- White / Pure White / Carrara White Metallic
- Black / Jet Black Metallic / Deep Black Metallic
- Guards Red
- Racing Yellow
- Chalk (a popular soft gray/white)
- GT Silver Metallic
- Gentian Blue Metallic
- Aventurine Green Metallic
- Agate Grey Metallic / Vanadium Grey Metallic / Ice Grey Metallic / Arctic Grey
- Carmine Red
- Shark Blue
- Ruby Star Neo
These draw directly from recent 718 and 911 offerings. Solid colors (White, Black, Guards Red, Racing Yellow) are typically standard or lower-cost, while metallics and specials often carry a premium.
Metallic, Special, and High-Demand Shades
Porsche has emphasized richer metallics and heritage-inspired tones in recent years. Expect continuity or mild updates for the EV:
- Aventurine Green Metallic and similar greens remain popular for their depth.
- Blues such as Gentian Blue Metallic, Shark Blue, and newer options like Lugano Blue (seen on related models).
- Greys and silvers (Vanadium Grey Metallic, Slate Grey Neo, Ice Grey Metallic) suit the clean EV aesthetic.
- Reds including Carmine Red and Guards Red for classic sports-car presence.
Newer or refreshed shades appearing on the 2027 911 (such as Cartagena Yellow Metallic, Shade Green Metallic, or Provence) could cross over, especially if they enhance the electric model’s modern proportions.
Paint to Sample and Custom Color Options
Porsche’s Paint to Sample (PTS) program will almost certainly be available on the 2027 718 EV, giving U.S. customers access to a large catalog of historic, special, and exclusive colors (often 100+ options depending on the model year). Recent expansions for related vehicles have added shades such as various greens (Python Green, Graphite Green Metallic, Essmann Green), blues, yellows, oranges, and purples.
Paint to Sample Plus allows even greater freedom for truly unique, customer-specified hues (subject to technical feasibility and longer lead times). These programs typically add several thousand dollars and extend delivery times by months. Popular PTS choices historically include Miami Blue, Frozen Berry Metallic, Ruby Star, and heritage greens or blues.
Interior Color Pairings for the 2027 Porsche 718 EV
Interior options will complement the exterior. Common Porsche pairings expected include:
- Black (standard or with Race-Tex/Alcantara accents)
- Bordeaux Red, Carmine Red, or contrasting stitching
- Chalk, Arctic Grey, or Slate Grey
- Classic Cognac, Truffle Brown, or Limestone Beige
- Two-tone combinations (e.g., Black/Chalk, Black/Bordeaux Red)
Premium materials such as leather, Race-Tex, and available carbon or aluminum trim will pair with these. U.S. configurators usually allow extensive mixing once the model launches.
What U.S. Buyers Should Know About Pricing and Availability?
Color choice can affect both MSRP and resale. Standard solids are usually included or low-cost; metallics and specials add several hundred to a few thousand dollars. PTS and PTS Plus are significantly more expensive and require ordering through a Porsche dealer.
Production of the outgoing combustion 718 ended previously, so the EV represents a clean-sheet opportunity for a refreshed palette. Final official colors, pricing, and availability will be confirmed at the model’s reveal and subsequent U.S. configurator launch (expected around late 2026 for 2027 model-year vehicles). Estimated starting prices have been discussed in the $80,000 range before options.
Check Porsche.com or your local U.S. Porsche Center for the latest once the 718 EV is officially configured. Color popularity in the American market historically favors Black, White, Grey/Silver, and Guards Red, with growing interest in greens and unique PTS shades among enthusiasts.
