2027 Porsche 718 EV Colors Guide – The all-electric 2027 Porsche 718 (Boxster and Cayman successors, internally known as the 983 generation) is confirmed for production starting in 2027, with U.S. deliveries expected later that year or into the model year. As of mid-August 2026, Porsche has not yet officially revealed the car or published its final exterior paint options.
Prototypes spotted testing (often in black or heavy camouflage) and design cues from the Taycan, Macan Electric, and Cayenne Electric strongly indicate the color palette will draw from Porsche’s current EV and sports-car offerings. U.S. buyers can expect a mix of classic solid colors, popular metallics, and the extensive Paint to Sample program from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur.
Expected Standard Exterior Colors
Porsche typically offers 10–15+ standard exterior colors on its models, with solids and metallics forming the core. Based on current 2026–2027 Porsche EVs (Taycan, Macan Electric, Cayenne Electric) and recent 911/previous 718 ranges, these are the most likely carryovers or near-equivalents for the U.S. market:
- White / Pure White / Carrara White Metallic
- Black / Jet Black Metallic
- Guards Red (iconic Porsche red)
- Carmine Red
- Racing Yellow (or similar bright yellow)
- Gentian Blue Metallic
- GT Silver Metallic / Dolomite Silver Metallic
- Chalk (popular light gray/white)
- Ice Gray Metallic / Volcano Gray Metallic / Slate Gray Neo
- Aventurine Green Metallic / Oak Green Metallic Neo / Shade Green Metallic
- Provence or similar modern hues
Newer debut colors seen on recent EVs (such as Mystic Green Metallic, Monteverde Metallic, or Napali Blue Metallic on the Cayenne Electric) could also appear.
Metallic and Special Finishes
Metallic paints remain highly popular with U.S. buyers for their depth and premium appearance under sunlight. Expect strong representation of:
- Jet Black Metallic
- Gentian Blue Metallic
- Aventurine Green Metallic
- GT Silver / Dolomite Silver Metallic
- Ice Gray / Volcano Gray Metallic
- Possible exclusive or new metallics tied to the EV platform (similar to Turbonite accents on Turbo models)
Matte or satin options may be limited to special packages or high-end trims, consistent with current Porsche practice.
Paint to Sample and Custom Options
Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur’s Paint to Sample (and Paint to Sample Plus) program is almost certain to be available. This gives U.S. customers access to a wide range of historic Porsche colors, modern specials, and near-unlimited custom matching (subject to technical feasibility). Past and recent offerings have included shades such as Shark Blue, Ruby Star Neo, Frozen Berry Metallic, Miami Blue, and various heritage greens, blues, and metallics.
This flexibility is a major draw for enthusiasts who want a unique 718 EV that stands out from standard production colors.
Interior Color Pairings and Popular Combinations
While the focus is exterior, interiors typically offer Black, various two-tone options (e.g., Black/Chalk, Black with accent colors), Bordeaux Red, Cognac/Brown tones, and Alcantara combinations. Popular U.S. pairings historically include:
- Guards Red exterior with Black or Black/Red interior
- Jet Black Metallic or White with Black/Alcantara
- Gentian Blue or Aventurine Green with contrasting light interiors
- Chalk or GT Silver with darker cabins for a modern look
Exact interior options will be confirmed at reveal.
What U.S. Buyers Should Know?
- Official colors, pricing for special paints, and availability by trim (base, S, GTS-equivalent, etc.) will be published closer to the public debut (widely expected before the end of 2026) and U.S. on-sale date.
- Many standard colors are no-cost or low-cost; metallics and Paint to Sample carry premiums.
- Popular colors in the U.S. sports-car segment (Guards Red, blacks, silvers/grays, blues, and greens) are expected to remain strongly represented.
- Check the official Porsche configurator or your local dealer once the 718 EV is live for final options, regional availability, and any model-year-specific updates.
The 2027 Porsche 718 EV will continue the brand’s tradition of offering a broad, customizable color range that lets owners express personality while retaining the pure sports-car character Porsche is known for.
