Default 991 GT3 Spy Photos in Various Colours!

Stolen from another board. These have just been published on the net. The Agate grey looks really good with the black wheels (not yet an offered wheel colour). Also not the metallic blue and in the background a silver example...

Must say these have appeared very quickly since the unveiling in Geneva last wee so we will assume these are still pre production cars probably used for Ring testing etc...

Notice how much better the rear looks with no decals...

Love the Agate Grey but as Mike says I also still prefer the white.

I agree although it would be good to see a white one "in the wild" not in the heavily manipulated digitized press shots or under the tungsten lighting of the show.

The blue is definitely a "stand out" colour!

The distance shot of the grey car show much wider the rear of the car looks from the standard 991 S coupe. Infact the 991S to the far right of the shot in black looks positively like and entirely different model given the narrower hips and pointy snout....

Not these pre production cars appear to be sporting the full LED headlight array and folding sports seats....

Although its difficult to tell the silver car in the background (platinum) looks a bit bland. The red car of course is a 997.2 GT3...

Thanks for posting these, Macca. I'd been thinking about the Sapphire Blue but I'm not sure I like it that much in these pics. Red is still in my mix but Agate is another color I've been considering and the car looks good in it.

That particular blue would look better with silver wheels IMO. Those black wheels look great on the gray car though.

Thanks Macca, I wasn't really feeling the car in Geneva show pics, something was off. But looks great here.

Grey looks good, very stealthy. I like white too, but problem with white is
1. it washes out the curves. Look at the show pics you can't make out how wide the fenders are.
2. Makes the car look big.

Black is the opposite, but:
1. Bitch to maintain.
2. Hides the details.
