Wonder if they make them black to force us to order painted ones.
Or if it is to match all the other plastic.

Chrome would have been nice with white for instance. Black maybe not.

I always paint them anyway, black could be ok on purple. Chrome has no pace on a Gt3

Totally agree. At first I thought it was just me not seeing it properly or bad camera angle. Doesn't look right, at least from the pics, maybe in real life it looks better.

It is a very owner-specific and preference issue ... IMO, a bit much emphasis placed on color here but perhaps appropriate diversion during our wait.

GT Silver will stand test of time.

I wouldn't buy a GT# in GT Silver - especially an RS. It's a non-traditional RS color and like most metallics belongs on Grand Tourers cars. Yes, it's has german racing history but that is more maintained by the Silver Arrows of Mercedes even to this day.

White is an OK choice as it's been Porsche's adopted RS color since the original one in 73, but I will leave the silver for an AMG.

I choose the color of my car based on what I like not the history of the color!
It looks awesome in GT silver. Love Lava but as a dd i feel i will get bored with it.
Looking forward to seeing the GT silver with black rims and LED and irons instead of carbon brakes
