The 991GT3 is looking better & better: they've done a great job.
While I love white, I'd love to see one in Mexico or Rivera Blue....

not much money in this context if there is a colour that set's your heart racing and your little man pulsing every time you look at it, and the car is a keeper.
dna is hard to change. i fight mine everyday.
i'm sure you can veer just a little...

Aussie jimmy. Have PAG announced pricing for the new 991 GT3 in Australia yet? NZ is still awaiting pricing (I suspect its dependent on Oz)...

Thanks for the photos. I was considering agate gray and these photos confirmed it if I decide to order one which depends on getting sport buckets. I would like to see the wheel option in black as well as side mirrors. I figure more color options will arrive in time. IMO, the sapphire blue doesn't look as good as aqua blue would have.

Great shots Macca.

Love the plates with a "BB" in front.......straight out of Weissach. Note also that these are US/North American spec cars (orange front markers, narrow license plate bumpers on the rear).

Tim. Correct you are! These must be pre production prototypes for testing...

Jon, Im sure black wheels will be a future option but I would advise you order the car with standard wheels and have your dealer get them resprayed matt black before delivery along with the win mirror housings. Cant see that running to any more than ordering them as an option ($900?) in any case...

I agree the blue looks a tad too leery IMHO.

I have to admit that I spoke to my local dealer about doing PTS Mexico Blue and Euro Delivery next summer (14)...

there I have publically shamed myself!

I just meant that standard factory colors on a new GT3 cost $0 and most of the metallic color options are $710. Besides, for the real quality custom paint jobs I prefer Maaco!
