Was not even considering white, but I missed the ordering window and found an otherwise perfectly spec'ed Carrera T that the dealer had already ordered. Now all of my future Porsche's may very well be ordered in this classic motorsports color.
I've considered it...I don't mind white, but if I had 2 to choose from at the time... One white or one red or blue, it would be the red or blue sitting in my garage right now 😁
At this point, I just feel very very fortunate to have found a 991.1 GTS with all the options and the aerokit! It sound like an absolute jungle out there!

My 2012 C2S PDK. I've had it for a 3 months. My first Porsche. Would have loved a manual transmission and a red or blue interior rather than black, but I'm not complaining.

Other people seem to like them, but I have never been a fan of white (or black) cars. The only other white car anyone in my family ever owned was my mother's 1965 Rambler American, and even that had a blue top. But, when you buy a used car, you sometimes have to compromise. Here's my compromise:
Seems many of us compromised on white for a lack of availability. I did too, but have learned to love it. I also appreciate a few unique aspects of white.
White is a great canvas for any style choice. It does experience cooler interior temperatures. It is visually stunning when clean, yet also reserved. Pure white is a rare natural color, and thus noticeable. It highlights dirt in nooks and crannies, so I maintain a cleaner car by wiping areas like the door sills, body joints and any time the bumper is removed.
I also seem to prefer the white cars with lighter or color wheels (blue, red, gold, etc.). I will soon have new wheels and will also refinish my Platinum Satin to another color; perhaps matching my interior of yachting blue.
Anyone have any interesting graphics on their cars? I have found a few pics of non-991 that could be inspiration. Imagine a white 991 with these graphics.

Now with BBS FIRs. Thinking about powder coating them black. smoked tail lights. Aero mirrors. Black upper red lower interior with carbon trim and shifter. Gauges in white. Chrono in white.
just put in a Cxx style leather trimmed dome light with Porsche crest! 🤓
Nice wheels! Black wIll look good. What’d you end up doing with the old ones?
