The GT-3 is a race car for the street and therefore I think it should be a little more flashy, so I say red. White looks good too, but more understated.

white offers a good canvas for if you want to play with changing the wheel colours and doing some vinyl graphics (like an offset thin Martini stripe down the centre) or something to make the car look a bit special from time to time......

Plus we've see black cars are faster. It's been a topic on many threads. Mike in CA admitted that red was slower (I think) and white, well, being that it's the entire range of colors combined, adds a lot of weight to the car so...

I have white now and Red on order. I struggled with the same thing. Ultimately, I think Red for me, though this may be because I have a white cayenne turbo, white F250, white car trailer, and last 3 911's have been white. I'm just plain whited out!

Definitely white.

Seriously though, try to order any color beside red or white of your choose just to be different.

You've got it all backwards. It has to do with photon mass. White reflects all, so it is the lightest. Black absorbs all, so it is the heaviest. Red is in the middle. Clearly white is lighter and therefore faster.

Considering the OP started this thread in 2013, he has probably made his decision by now, and if not, he can't order one anyhow.

seriously, get white...so you don't have to wash it often. If I can choose, I will get lime green.

I originally ordered a '14 in red. I passed on that car. My dealer gave me an early '15 allocation and the second time I ordered black. I just couldn't help it. Saw the red '14 I ordered and it looks great too.

What can I say, I like black 911's. Lol.

My turbo is black
My 458 is black
My cayenne is black.

I may need therapy..

Color choices so much fun! Duh, red!

Now a serious question, it seems to me that Guards red has changed over the years. Does anyone know??


I need to fish out the photo of my first sports car, a used 1975 VW Scirocco- I repainted that car with the help of a friend- Guards Red! But what I remember is that paint was a deeper red then my new GT3. It's a cool bookend to my sports car experience, I haven't owned a red car since that Scirocco so many years ago. I know, I know, a Scirocco vintage 1975 was barely a sports car, but I had a blast with it, and it was, well, at least sporty!

Not at all... It shows discerning choice. A certain flair for refinement.

If you saw my garage... It's black everywhere. And it's perfect that way.
