This is not a customer car, these pictures are actually half a year old or so. It's a factory car. (license plate and green windows sticker) Red wheels are not a production option, but if you pay enough for it, Porsche Exclusive will do almost anything you want

The color is hard to tell. When I first saw those pictures, I was very convinced it was rhodium. Especially the first picture has a lot of blue hue in the silver. The second picture looks more like GT-Silver though. My guess is that it is GT-Silver. There is simply too much blue in the first picture. The blue Euro part on the license plate is way off the real color.

OR... I will plastidip them, so I can pay ab $40 to make them red and can go back to original color when I want, while protecting the wheels from brake dust corrosion. http://www.jdcustoms.nl/2012/08/pors...i-racing-look/ Name:  image-2602670945.jpg

All GT3's look best in white.

But daily driver colors would be welcome on this new platform.

Save the funky colors for the next RS

New RS colors should be solids like the 356 colors.

I wish I could get orange, but the skyblue looks good

Damn, that does look good, and seems to be a surprisingly rare color choice thus far.

White is nice, and I really like Sand White on my Cayenne, but a sports car deserves something a little bolder, IMHO.

I dunno. Given the dark wheels and lack of silver/chrome highlights the black GT3 comes across to me as sort of washed out. And I've had 5 black 911's. The wheels sort of disappear. But the factory speedlines on my 3.6 Turbo really stand out.

Hot!

I was never a big fan of the way 991 looked. I never saw a 991 and went 'I want that', till I saw this black C4S with the black headlights. Was smoking hot. So someone here order a GT3 in black or basalt black with black headlights, leather interior and red stitching and I will pick it from you in 3 years .

So if you were going to choose Sapphire Blue Metallic would you go with the standard PDLS or the blacked out PDLS?
