Shark Blue

Shark Blue (D5C) is a bold, fully saturated non-metallic blue introduced with the 992.1 generation 911 GT3 and subsequently available across the 911, 718 Boxster, and 718 Cayman lineups from 2022. The color reads as a vivid, modern blue with considerable intensity — neither the electric brightness of Miami Blue nor the deeper, more serious tone of Gentian Blue, but a confident mid-spectrum blue that recalls Porsche's historical vibrant blues from the air-cooled era, including Arrow Blue, Mexico Blue, and Voodoo Blue. Paint cross-reference data confirms the color shares code D7/D5C across both Porsche and Volkswagen applications, appearing on the VW GTI and Golf in adjacent model years. Rennbow notes it as a bold, modern tone that continues a long Porsche lineage of expressive blues, particularly suited to the GT-specification cars that tend to attract the most adventurous color choices. It appeared on the GT3, GT4, and Spyder variants, where the no-nonsense solid finish complements the performance-focused character of those machines. Its eight-paint-can rarity rating indicates it was offered broadly but still represents a minority of production, making Shark Blue examples notably visible and sought-after in the current 992 market.
