Is there additional liability with a 'Race' button that also turns-off TC? And by having a separate 'TC off' button reduces that liability?

Doubtful but lawyers in the US will argue about anything. Eventually someone will argue that the 3 is a race car by virtue of marketing and the 'race' button in the car, and argue that it somehow suffers from an actionable defect: e.g., safety equipment, adequate warnings etc. or that the warranty should extend to track use.

I think they should have kept the individual buttons and kept the race button to activate everything.

As Bill_C4S posted earlier there won't be a button designated "Race"; it will be labeled "PDK Sport" instead but it does the same thing.

My 991S has Sport and Sport Plus buttons. The Sport Plus behaves the same as the "PDK Sport" described above. Allan

Default Porsche Silvers

With much thanks to Porschecraig on Pistonheads:

" Here we have the 3 colours in better natural day light. On the left we have Platinum Silver followed by GT Silver in the middle and finally on the right Rhodium Silver.

The colour was achieved by our local paint shop contacting the area manager of the paint manufacturer who then contacted his head office in Germany to obtain the colour mix codes and passed back down the line!!

Thanks for posting, Bill. I'm still waiting to see a genuine Rhodium GT3 but this comparsion helps. Been changing directions on color and am 90% certain now that I'm going with Rhodium.

Thanks for reposting Bill. Ordered my GT3 in Rhodium Silver. I really like the color - Brighter than past Silvers. My Panamera S is GT Silver. Been a "Silver Guy" since noting that is was the "official" racing color for German Race Cars several decades ago. .Can't wait for the new GT3 after listening to CH Review Video. Still no word on deliveries from Porsche.

Rhodium is better than platinum or arctic. However it is a shame they dropped aqua blue for sapphire.
