Default Edmunds Guards Red Pics

Pretty much the same boilerplate verbage, but I hadn't seen very many 'real life' pics in GR. 42 more at the link.

I don't normally like GR's Porsches but I think the new GT3 looks really good in this color.

Red works with dark wheels. Euro bumper so clean, except for the reflectors. Just noticed the black diffuser piece has a slight cantilevered bevel to it.

Guards was the first press pic I saw and it blew me away on this car. That rear end!

I think red is much better than white for this car.

Guards Red looks amazing on the GT3. However... If someone gave me a white one as a present I wouldn't start whining about it

Are the wheels the standard platinum wheels? They look much darker than the wheels shown on the white GT3. Or are they the new black wheels?

It's just the lighting. They are the standard platinum wheel.....

I always second guess my color choice. When I put down a deposit on th GT3 18 months ago I told my wife I was going to break with my tradition of silver Porsches and order GR, but I wussed out and placed my order last week in GT Silver. I've been searching out color pics all week wondering if I did the right thing.

These Edmund pics have sealed it. Wow. I just got off the phone with my salesman; switched to GR.....

Did you really? Love guards on this car. I think you should call him back and add those 410mm PCCBs.
It's CW or GR for me; torn.

Yes, I really did. The PCCB's are great but the standard brakes are also exceptional. I maybe could see spending $4-5K but certainly not 9 grand. TEHO.

I realize choosing a color for a $150K sports car is a first world problem, but I've been agonizing over it, so I feel your pain. This car looks great in several colors so it's hard to pick one. I finally realized it was the GR that made my pulse quicken every time I saw it so I threw caution to the wind and went with it.

Mike, I think you got it right. Like you, I struggled with the color choice and actually walked into the dealership not knowing which one I would pick, white or red. After looking at the great pics of both colors in this forum, I still don't know which one looks better to me. I finally went with red because I have a (great looking) 991S now and thought a change would be in order.

If you have any second thoughts about going with red over GT Silver, look at your bank account and be consoled by the additional $3140 that will be there.
