There were two important things I needed to consider in my search for finding a car that suits the theme of the element of ice, a cool car and a cool color. There were several options that fit the requirements, but I found myself going more and more towards Porsche for a couple reasons.
Majority of Porsche cars represent pure performance and on top of it they happen to have a program called the Porsche Ice Experience, where you can experience driving Porsches in cold snowy environments. There is even a color Porsche offer for the Taycan and its variants called Frozen Blue.
But I decided to continue looking in case I could find something even more suitable and I came across this car. This is a 2011 Porsche 997 Turbo S painted in Ice Blue Metallic. As the name suggests, it is an icy color with a combination of blue and silver in it, Ice Blue Metallic is also not as bright as Frozen Blue which to me makes it a much more suitable choice for this element.
And I must say this color suits the 997 Turbo S quite well. It’s a classic sort of color that no doubt would age well on a car like this. The Turbo S is known for not being track oriented or over the top, while still having solid performance that can be enjoyed especially when it comes to straight line speed and this is something I feel makes the color even more of a match with this car. Ice cold performance
One more interesting and important thing about the Ice Blue Metallic color is that it was only available for the 2011 model year of the Porsche 911 Turbo S and that too as a special order color, so besides just being an icy looking car also makes this an extremely rare example. No doubt a car worthy to be chosen to be represented in my series.
