Suzuka Grey Metallic (Y7F) is a cool, medium-to-dark metallic grey named for Japan's Suzuka Circuit — one of Formula One's most technically challenging tracks, famed for its figure-eight layout and demanding high-speed corners. Porsche's official description frames the name explicitly as underscoring the color's sporty, performance-oriented character: a grey that evokes the technical precision and speed associated with that legendary Japanese venue. Originally an Audi color — sharing the Y7F code with Audi applications including high-performance RS models — it was incorporated into Porsche's expanded PTS catalog in 2023, available on the 718, 911, Taycan, and Cayenne. Rennbow describes it as a cool, elegant, modern grey with a subtle blue or green tint and a glistening appearance that shifts between white and grey depending on lighting. Forum comparisons place it in a similar register to Grigio Campovolo and Fashion Grey but with a distinctly metallic character that those non-metallic options lack. Its four-paint-can rarity reflects that while it is catalog-available, it is ordered by a relatively small fraction of PTS buyers.
