Maybe I skimmed over it, but are there any pics of White next to a Carrara White ? To see the difference, side by side? Or is it so subtle that it's not really noticeable?

I went with CWM on MY 23 GT4.
I've seen both side by side in person (Macan), and there is a difference when you're up close. When you step away, CWM has more of rich hue tone vs. white sort of looks muted/flat. I like the way both colors looked, but I didnt get to review them side by side in 718... Im sure this makes a big difference.
I chose CWM bc my current car is Alpine White, and I wanted a slight change, and I think the color blends with Aurum wheels better. Now if CWM was an additional $2500, I would have just chose White at no charge, but the additional cost for the metallic option was only $600.

I have seen side by side and from 6 ft distance its not noticeable but if you dig in the color Carrera white has metallic flakes and has slight blue tinge whereas the plain white is a flat white and has a slight yellowish tinge. Plain white looks more sporty.
I changed my 2023 GT4 Manual order to Carrara White Metallic (from Arctic Grey) last week. Given MY 2023 is the last of the GT4's, I wasn't sure I would love the Arctic Grey, so I decided that there was less risk that I wouldn't like CWM. White Porsches are just a classic Race Car look, and can easily be spruced up with some stripes if desired.
I went for Black Wheels and Black Calipers, and pretty Blacked out on the inside as well, with Black Extended Deviated Stitching and Leather Interior Trim, along with Leather on the back of the 18-Ways to get rid of that plastic look on the back of the seats. White Guages and Sport Chrono Dial to break up all the Black on the inside, and to tie to the CWM exterior. I have those now, and dig them.
(I would love to get Carbon Buckets, but my back doesn't like the very upright seatback angle, even with the spacers. Believe me, I have tried to like them! Whereas my current GT4 PDK is for track and street, this one will be primarily for street, and I will get a dedicated track car of some sort, a 981 GT4 Clubsport or a privately built 987 or 981 Cayman.)
Some pics after fully wrapping and ceramic coating the entire car. It landed at port just before Xmas and is now ready to come home, where she'll be parked in a garage until spring. Gonna be a long winter!
Colour: Carrara White Metallic
Model: 2023 CGTS 4.0, 6-speed manual
Hard to see, but also had Zunsport grilles installed at the same time as PPF; De-badged the doors; Headlight nozzles are silver - a miss by me in the configurator, as I was going for a white/black w/splashes of red Opted for white door handles as I prefer the clean look as opposed to black door handles Also, de-badged the rear. Wish I had selected the black "PORSCHE" but missed this on my final configuration Guards red seatbelts and sport chrono; White gauges; 18-ways; smoking package; carbon fibre interior; Also, T-Design cupholder installed Embossed with GTS - the only visible sign of the model Illuminated carbon fibre door sills (also wrapped for protection)

To add to this description, the amount of metallic 'flakes' in CWM is minimal. Yes, they are there...but NOWHERE near the density of what's in GT Silver or Aventurine Green.
