Deep, non-metallic dark green with the unmistakable depth and character of British motorsport tradition, first offered in modern form on the Taycan from 2021 and available via PTS on all current model lines. The specific shade takes its name and heritage from the 1903 Gordon Bennett Cup, when British Napier cars were painted shamrock green as a gesture of respect to their Irish hosts — a gesture that launched one of motorsport's most enduring color traditions. Porsche's version carries the understated authority associated with Le Mans-winning Bentleys, F1 championship Vanwalls, and decades of Aston Martin road cars, all interpreting the same deep forest-green lineage. The hex #1A2E24 confirms a very dark, cool-leaning green that approaches near-black in shade. The non-metallic solid finish gives it a pure, unadorned character that complements the 911's clean body lines without the complexity of a metallic finish, making it particularly popular on the GT3 Touring and other stripped-specification models where visual restraint is valued.
