For me down to metallic white, Guard of R silver.
This is going to be a pretty limited run and condition will likely trump color in most cases. Just get whichever color you prefer.

I went with Yellow and my dealer thinks it'll either have no impact or probably increase resale value due to rarity. The fact is, no one knows...

Agree - and great choice going with RY.

White looks great but there are too many of them.

mhh. How many Km do you have on your car now?
Any updates (faults, unusual behaviour etc) to report?

P.S. Of interest so far in NZ there are only two white 991 GT3 (mine and one other). To be fair only 8 delivered to date with another 4 shortly to arrive. Red seems to have been popular this time - 4 of them). Any idea how many delivered to Australia by now?

Dealer has the same interest as you in terms of resale.

In most cases yes but for my case resale was not in the equation. I could care less about resale until its time to sell then I say Oh.....

8,000km now. Nothing to report - faultless so far. I've got a Tasmania weekend coming up next month. That will add 3,000km including the drive to Melbourne.

6 cars for Adelaide - 4 white, my blue and a metallic red. I've got 6 or more friends/acquaintances here with white 997 GT3s too.

Update

Ordered Carrara white 2015 GT3 - agate and get silver ultimately were to subdued for me and red ultimately lost out

Thanks for everyone's help with this decision - arriving before Xmas and early nov build

Interesting fact is I think I'm the only person that's color keyed the side skirts which my dealer thought was crazy - I thought it would make the car appear lower/finished - may have to wrap a part of rear lip to match

Went with 4 way leather deviated and all trimmings minus carbon ceramics

Thanks Mark. That's good to hear. You have more Km than me already! Hope you have a great drip in Tasmania. Post a few pictures from your trip. Im assuming given the choice of cars at your disposal you are still enjoying the GT3? Hows the new Speciale. Thats one lovely car!

Congratulations. White is a good choice. Why did you say red lost out? Did you get the white or the metallic one?

My biggest issue with red is if you want ceramics I am not visually in love with the red body and yellow calipers as it looks a tad McDonald's.

This was main reason I liked the white and yellow caliper combo which contrasts beautifully.

I know it may sound silly to you hard core track guys but I opted not to go with the PCCB because my car is GR and I didn't like the yellow calipers with this color, I much preferred Red on Red myself. I took the 10K and loaded up the inside. This car will see the track but only on occasion.
