Had a chance little over a year ago to be very high on a list, but passed. Timing just not right for me right now for a new ride for a weekend fun car. Life/work plans/family commitments keep a tight schedule and the current ride serving that purpose well. Have a feeling this may be the last NA GT3?? Will need to have it at some point if so!!

I think Porsche now understands they have a devoted market for these type of drivers cars (light, NA, manual). Won't be that much of an emission hit for the GT3 and GT4 to stay NA while the other 98% of Porsches are turbo or hybrid.

You'll have another chance for a NA manual GT3 in 2021!

I'm being seduced by miami blue. I think that with the aluminium wheels would look fantastic.

Question for everyone. I'm getting full leather and iron brakes either way, but I"m thinking that the red stitching might clash a bit with a miami blue exterior???

Is it possible to get full leather bucket seats or sofas without any alcantara at all ?

Roger that.

I think Miami Blue is, um, a very different color. Make sure you see it in person, under the sun, before finalizing your order.

Mexico Blue is regal, Miami is, well, smurf.

I viewed a Miami Blue on a 911 at my dealer this afternoon. Anyone considering this color for the GT3 should reassess.

Not in a GT3. If you want to avoid alcantara, a racing fabric, then GT3/RS is not the cars for you.

The only way to get all leather seats is to buy a carrera model

appreciate the insight. I haven't seen one in person yet. I'm getting a MY 2019.2 GT3, so I will be certain I see a .2 2018 GT3 in miami blue in the flesh before I finalize my order.
I'm OCD that way, heck I took a short flight to see the first guards red .1 GT3 delivered to the US in January 2014, before my 2014 GT3 order locked, because I had to see in the flesh what the color would look like on my GT3.

Here is Miami with my RS neat the Ring. Didn't like it when I saw it at the dealer on a C2 but on the RS it looked great.

Good point.

I do think colors look very different on GT cars than they do on regular carreras.

I really dislike both guards and carmine red on a regular carrera, but I love guards red on my GT3.

I have only seen miami online - on GT3 RS. Can you describe it more in person? Is it too baby blue? Any hint of turquoise?

Very pastel.

If Papa Smurf was standing in front of a Miami Blue Porsche, you wouldn't be able to see Papa Smurf.

It's a very polarizing color. Hard to describe unless you've seen it in person.

Sort of like Lava Orange. Some find it exotic, others see a fish (salmon) out of water, and still others think there's some traffic cone out there trying to get its color back.
