Thumbs up ATTN: Sapphire Blue GT3 Fans

Long story short(I fill in the details and much better pics shortly) I went in last night to my local Porsche dealer and left with this beautiful Sapphire blue GT3. I had an upcoming allocation but was getting inpatient, and actually had shifted my color choice from white to this sweet looking blue. These are just phone pics and I'll post much better ones shortly, including all the options ect. To say I'm ecstatic, is an understatement!!

Sinister and slick, that's what I think when I see your pictures. Congrats, lovely
color.

Amazing how this stunning, metallic blue has now become popular among so many, when blue was largely a peculiar owner preference, then hard to sell to 2nd hand.. White seems to dominate preferences, but this sapphire blue is clearly up and coming. Reminds me of the cliche regarding 1st owners of ferrari's that they just have to have red, whereas vintage f. owners gravitate to other colors.

I'm a blue fanatic and thus am squarely in your camp. I have a one-off Maserati blue mediterranean 458 Italia which I can't imagine departing with, and will be welcoming a sapphire blue 991 GT3 in about 4 weeks. They'll be like twins in the garage and, I suspect, very similar on the track, the only difference being the beauty queen (my 458) will be sun-tanning a lot (after many track days), whereas my Gt3 will be put through track day boot camp for years to come.

Appreciated gents, super excited, as this is my first GT3 and only second porsche I've owned. Traded in the 981 Boxster S, which I absolutely loved and can't say enough great things about. But it was time to make the leap!

I had a upcoming allocation and I was going to go white but this blue really caught my eye, when someone on here poster their pictures. I usually don't like bright colors, well I like to see others driving them, but I don't care for the extra attention. Regardless, this beast is getting major attention no matter what color, so I when our hear my nearest dealership had one in blue sapphire, I needed to seat person. Someone on this forum suggested, that the pictures that another poster posted, look better than the actual blue in real life. I had to see for myself. And what I instantly concluded, was the pictures, actually don't do this amazing color justice! It was love at first sight, especially having the blue in the interior, giving it an extra pop, along with the guards red seat belts and LED headlights.

I admire you holding it together, the excitement must be unbearable!

Very well said. I'm a blue fan as well, but the darker blues, I find, don't always show the lines of the car. While this blue, pops, while still be classy and elegant. Huge fan of the 458 as well, what a pair you will have. Look forward to your pictures
