White is timeless and always in vogue. What color did Porsche choose to launch the new GT3 in????

So anyway, Porsche made all white cars with the strongest engines....because they thought they would be raced eventually!

I've got Grand Prix White. And to be honest, it feels quite fast. From a non-practical standpoint, for a long time after a good waxing, it's so easy to see, and eliminate, any dirt, mud splatter, brake dust, and grime. So easy to wash, as you see perfectly where you've been, and where you need to go. Very Zen.
When I drive around in the just-cleaned 964, you can't wipe the grin off my face. The GP White only makes that easier.
