that color looks great on that car....regarding the smoke at start up, my 2018 GT3 Manual did it too....not always, but when it did it was bad.
I always wanted to hear a technical answer from a master mechanic why this happens when it does.

My 2015 GT3 smoked like a chimney, but my 2016, and 2019 RS’s never smoked one day .......nor does my Speedster.

I didn't want to start a feud , but the 2019 GT3RS I just bought in June hasn't smoked once in over 650 miles and many starts.

I am glad you brought this up.

I recorded this video today. This is not as bad as the first two cold starts. I noticed after I shut the car off, there is a lot of vacuum holding the oil fill cap on. If my AOS has a leak, I wonder if that could continue to pull oil in the plenum after shut down?

Congrats! Love the color and spec. This would literally be my replacement on the 2015 I have. Love the VooDoo blue, one of my favorites, if not my favorite. Well done!

Thank you! I just took it out tonight for some spirited driving. Certainly different than my 812 which earns the title Superfast (borders violent). For road driving it’s more comparable to my 458 Spider but I can’t row gears in that.

I can see why these cars have a cult following. It’s such a connected feeling that up until now, I’ve only read about. I’m very happy with the car and the whole buying experience. The dealer, Motorcars Washington, was absolutely Phenomenal to deal with.

Definitely a problem with the engine, I suggest you stop driving the car and immediately sell it to me

...enjoy in good health!

To fix the smokey start up - drive her hard! This only happens to my car when it sits around for a long time.

p.s. I am surprised the whole car is not wrapped in PPF, as this is such a beautiful color.
I drove it hard yesterday and this morning no smoke!
