I hadn't seen that. Even with the cars just cruising, and the spotty audio, the baritone rumble of the exhaust is apparent and pretty sweet. Sapphire and Agate are two colors I've considered so it was nice to see them. Thx!

Sunnyr. Thanks for this, it must be fresh as I havent seen it before.

The sound of those engines at low speed cruising is FANTASTIC and reminds me of my how my 993 sounded with cat delete pipes on RSR mufflers!

Out of those three colours I prefer the Agate. I still feel it has too much "brown" in it tho. The metallics show the curves off better than the flat colours such as red & white.

They look better for being de badged as well. I think just having "GT3" on the back will be perfect. Interesting that this round of protos all seem to be wearing black matt wheels and although not an option would be cheap to achieve via the local paint shop.

Brilliant stuff!

The black one seems to have a different wheel - ones seen on the test cars.

I guess they are making the most of their camo wheels and tyres packages!

It's hard to tell in that light but it looks to me like the blue and grey cars have the generic black prototype wheels that we've seen in so many vids but that the black car might have the "platinum" finish production wheel.

Edit: not the production wheel now that I look closely......similar finish?

Macca, I've seen Agate in person on a Panamera, and don't see the issue with brown tones. Admittedly it was a cloudy day so I it's posible that might make a difference, but I'm 95% sure that's the color I'll choose. I think you're right about the metallics showing the curves of the car better. Color is so subjective!
