Just found this walkaround video of the graphite gray 911 50 which is located in the Porsche Museum.


Someone posted better pictures of the exact same car recently and the director of photography of this vid seems not to be very gifted, but some addicts might still wan't to see it.

Timely. Since I have heard nothing with my order and allocation. The more I think of it, the more I have come around to it's not worth the extra dollars when I can get a 4S, really well equipped for much less.

It's a good value for the US cars with the power kit when you consider the options.

Thanks for posting that. I do like the graphite every time I see it. Hoping to see some photos of it in sunlight before I finally get to place my order.

If it clarifies things any further, I was told by my dealer that the paint code for the graphite grey is the same as grey-black on the Generation 2 GT3 RS.

If Porsche offered the 991 in a tux, this would be it!

The grey-black on the GT3RS certainly looks the same as the graphite gray.
Looks great to me even if it is not orginal.

Here is a collection of colour samples posted by ISUK all together displaying the full spectrum of shades for graphite grey or grey-black. When I compare these to the videos and pictures of GT3 RS, they are very similar.

Here is a Youtube video where black-grey actually looks like grey.


Here it looks like blue grey.


and finally here it looks almost black


Quite an interesting colour.

To each their own. But I'm going to switch to Geyser Gray. That is if I don't switch and go with a C4S in the meantime.

typically that original estimate can change (for the better)!

Hi folks

The 911 50 is currently shown at the IAA in Frankfurt, the event where it is officially introduced. KGT, a friendly member of a german Porsche forum, went there, posted a few iphone shots of the graphite gray model today and kindly allowed me to share them here. Thanks, KGT!

Of course, there is no breaking news to see and we still have to wait for some undoctered pictures of the car under sunlight. But I do enjoy to see some new shots to shorten the agonising time of waiting to its delivery.

Cheers!

I don't see the Paddles behind the steering wheel - why is that? Thought the paddles would be standard with that steering wheel?
