Azure Metallic is a vivid, clear blue metallic with strong saturation and a bright, almost electric character — at #3C81D2 it reads as a confident mid-blue with noticeable metallic flake that fires strongly in direct light. It is a dynamic, energetic blue that combines brightness with metallic depth. Azure Metallic (Azur Metallic, code Y39) has no confirmed standard production year range in the Porsche records. With one documented community car, it sits among the rarest entries in the database. Note: the code Y39 appears in 2024 Porsche paint records assigned to Guards Red — a likely database discrepancy suggesting this Azure Metallic listing may reference an older formulation from a different era.
