Rhodium Silver Metallic
Want to share these pics of Rhodium Silver Metallic on a Cayman S @ my dealer today. It looks great in person, the shade of silver changes depending on the light and it should really highlight the shape of the GT3 well.

I saw a c4s in it at my dealer a few days ago...Im sure it's going to be pretty...but I switched my order from Rhodium to GT silver on sight just because I don't like that much blue hue in it. But to each his own.

Good God that is a beautiful car. Having inspected one in person, the only aesthetic complaint I have are the over-sized wheels relative to the size of the calipers. It just leaves a huge gap in the wheel of air and once the rotors rust it just isn't pretty.
Anyway, I'm going to have to think long and hard about not getting one of these. I've already had to get a tire patched at the track (some careless person left a broken drill bit in the paddock if you can believe it) and more recently 'flopped' my tires and tomorrow AM I will get my pads and rotors swapped.
All of this would be impossible in the new GT3 without going to the dealer given the ridiculous centre lock wheels...
In short, much as I desperately want a GT3 for the track, I'm starting to doubt my decision to purchase one because I think it is just going to be so impractical - ironically, impractical to track the car!

Car looks a bit stubby to me.
Silver looks great though. And I don't like silver/grays in general. There's a certain brightness to the color that makes it pop a bit.
But they are fun to drive. If PAG really makes a "GT" Cayman I'd be really tempted.

I think it's a very crisp looking silver. I see what AP means when he says it's his favorite color because it's so "sharp and precise". GT is a "warmer" color by contrast, IMO. If somebody wants silver on a GT3 I think this could be a nice choice.
