Color Commentary

Porsche Vesuvio Metallic is one of the more curious colors to be offered by Porsche. It's appearance is highly dependent on the lighting. In shadows, on a cloudy day or in other weak light situations, it's quite grey. In direct sunlight, there is a very strong purple cast to it. Vesuvio is one of a handful of colors that bridged the air-cooled to water-cooled era. It was available on both the 993 and the 996. It's named for the famous volcano that overlooks the city of Naples.
