No interest in the Turbo S. You can dress a pig any way you want but still the same.
I do not mean this literally because the Turbo is a great all-weather all-around sports car. I had a 997.2 GR Turbo for 3 years. My point is that I am not interested in the Turbo and by adding all this fancy crap does not motivate me to want another one now

Miami looks great in that picture!! I'm sure it'll look more greenish in person like calexio said depending on the lighting. Any other angles? Miami/satin black/steel is my first choice but white/satin black w/red stripe and steel is very appealing too.

My wife and kids are all pushing me to get Miami Blue. We saw a Turbo cab in Italy last week in that color and it really popped, so perhaps... I was hoping for PTS Voodoo Blue, but I'm not blessed, so it's still Blue!
I was going to choose Carmine or White Metallic, will see. My daughter, who is 8 and and doing ED with me, says it just has to be Miami Blue, or she doesn't want to go!

My Wife wants me to get Metallic Black. At least now I do not have to make a painful decision

Black boring and too hard to keep clean, whether regular or Ker Black Metallic.
White boring, unless dressed up with some graphics. When they're done right, can look fantastic.
If you you must have white without graphics CWM has more punch. But it's a little common of Turbos and convertible cruisers.
Rhodium silver too cold.
GT Silver very classy and easy to keep clean looking. Also works well with graphics (maybe I'm biased...) but a lot of silver cars out there. Maybe too safe?
Agate too brown in the sun, kind of boring me-too otherwise. To many Metallic grey cars on the road these days.
Racing yellow a bit too glaring. I prefer Speed Yellow or Signal Yellow, but That would be PTS.
Lava Orange also a bit polarizing and loud.
Guards red classic and looks great on the launc car. Maybe it will be too common because of that?
carmine red looked great on Cayman GTS and GT4 but somehow I'm just not feeling it on the 911.
Miami Blue just isn't as attractive as Mexico or Riviera and looks too turquoise greenish in person.
Chalk/crayon very interesting especially with black accents on door handles and mirrors. Has that dipped look. Need to see in person though.
Sapphire Blue is pretty. My GT4 was SBM and looked good. But it's pretty common on lesser 911's and Caymans and Boxsters.
I guess I wish Porsche would have made a couple colors unique to the new GT3 without PTS. Maybe a good bright and dark green like Gelbrun and Irish.

Miami and Lava make me gag.
The red on the launch car is so perfect that I don't even care if everybody orders that in red. It freaking works better than most PTS. I'd love to see a planet full of red 991.2 GT3s.

Spot on post an analysis! I love sapphire blue, but wish they gave a unique and more respectable (than Miami) blue custom to the GT3.

Agree that guards red looks fantastic on this car, but no, I really hope that most buyers choose another color, as guards is my choice.

The GT3 standard and special color palette offering from Porsche seriously leaves much to be desired..... really don't know what is so special about chalk as well. Hoping for PTS, dream on, eh!

Has anybody seen the GR launch cars in person. They look great in photos, but it seems to me that GR has more orange when seen in person. I have a CR GTS now, on the fence with my GT3 order between GR and CR.
Also, trying to decide if I want yellow seat belts to match the PCCBs, or will it be too much with the GR stitching?

do not work together (for me), for example I am famously known for my
hatred of anything remotely brown/beige or green (with the exception
of Signal/Viper/or Lichtgrun) ...
I dont think red& yellow "go" ... I think you'd be much better with red belts in the interior ...
YMMV
