Nice quiver mooty!

Just in time

IMHO part of the answer may lay in the fact that many GT3 buyers are racers at heart. White has a definite connection to racing thus an inclination for that color.

I think white shows the contours of the 3 better than any other color, in particular the recesses and nuances of the bumpers. Also it makes a perfect match for the front gray spoiler.

All that said I went for Jet Black.

regular white vs Carrera white?

in the configurator CW looks a little more like eggshell white.

any real world guidance on the two?

non metallic white is WHITE, not eggshell white/gray/beige
metallic white is brighter with met flakes, more pop

Love that photo of the 25 917s. Cool backstory too. The FIA says prove to us you built 25 cars, Porsche lined them up April 1 1969. Offered to let the FIA rep drive one and he said no.

Yeah that's a good reason to get white.

white is undoubtedly the fastest color

Presently the only thing with that 'C' name is 'Carrara White Metallic'. And there used to be 'Carrara White' solid color offered for the 997 and early 991 period. The 'Carrara' name is like in the quarry in Italy that is known for its Carrara White Marble.



It's not 'Carrera'...like the 'Carrera Panamericana' Mexican road race from which 'Carrera' was adopted by Porsche, first for it's engines in the 1950's, and then its vehicles ever since! The only 'Carrera' name in a recent Porsche color history was for an interior leather color - 'Carrera Red' - which is no longer offered having been replaced with 'Garnet Red'.

If you want to know the difference between 'Carrara White', 'Carrara White Metallic' and the current 'White', I suggest you read Rennlister OrthoJoe's excellent thread on this subject:

The metal flakes in the CWM make it a "colder" color temperature, slightly blueish / grayish, which offsets any and all "yellow" in the regular white.

I like how pure white CWM looks (the lack of yellow), BUT I don't like the glittery finish up close (not race car, looks more like a surface coating and less "deep" than the non-metallic colors, and hard to color match down the line).

Own many black cars and GT3s look incredible in black.......but that pic inside is about the best it will look, impossible to keep looking nice especially after many track days.

Not if one doesn't track it (plus if one did--that's what Xpel is for) Black is A M A Z I N G...

Ive got 3 ferraris and a couple Porsches that aren't tracked that disagree with you

ATXGT3

...and I've owned dozens+++ all black (high end) cars and respectfully disagree with you

Just have to know how to maintain them...it's not rocket science.

Anyways post a pic of those three F-cars--that's awesome! Cheers

my white gt3 was my first white car ever. I just wanted a change. black shows everything and it's high maintenance. I must admit I think the dark blue looks amazing and it's pretty rare. I think that would be my second choice. In any case, happy that I have a GT3 and I'd take one in almost any color.

a GT-3 that won't see the track... sacrilege
