Default GT Silver

I placed an order for an Agate Grey Turbo, and the order is going to lock at the end of this week. I am struggling with whether to change the color to GT Silver I know these things are subjective, but is GT Silver worth another $3,000? I have not seen it in person, but it looks nice in pictures. Thanks.

If you can swing it the GT silver is worth it. It's the perfect silver (not too dark; not too light)

i had the same issue and went with the GT silver...agate is stunning but the gt silver has significant depth to it.

I was at the New York auto show the weekend before last. They had a 918 spyder on display. It was a silver color and it looks like liquid metal. Michael would be to go for that color although I'm not exactly sure what the name of it is.

The matter what color you choose I'm sure the car will be and look great.

That's a $64,000 paint option. Called Liquid something. Several day paint process.

Good info here:

IMO extra 3k for a slightly different shade is not worth it. Silver cars- stay looking clean longer, don't get as hot in a sun, and according to AAA have lowest accident rate. If the car is silver I am happy.
GT silver and PCCB is included on TTS. If you have to have GT silver consider TTS depending on other extras you getting you and your budget


The Turbo S is GT silver
The C2 is rhodium silver

I spent a lot of time trying to decide between Agate, GT, and Rhodium. I visited several local dealers that had cars in all three colors so I could compare them side by side. I ended up with GT Silver and don't regret spending the money at all. Pictures here.

As you said it's all personal preference but I believe interior color should also influence your decision. If you selected espresso/cognac then go with agate gray since it has a little brown in it. If black or red interior, then GT Silver looks great. The Rhodium silver has a distinct blue cast (similar to Polar Silver) so make sure that's acceptable. Again, interior color will play a role in the overall appearance.

Let me say that your car is truly a show stopper. Color combination is spot on and whoever detailed the beast looks to have done a superb job. Enjoy in good health.

I would get the GT Silver. My dealer has a GT Silver Turbo S in showroom and it is beautiful. $197,000 MSRP, ouch.

Agree. Wow that is gorgeous. I have asked the dealer to run my lease numbers adding the GT Silver. I guess I need to also order the bottom of the side mirrors painted to match?

I ordered the two tone interior - agate grey/pebble grey. It is a light leather. I have basically the same exterior/interior color combo (Corris Grey/Cirrus Grey) in my Range Rover Sport and it looks great.

This is a matter of personal preference, obviously, but I will say that the two silvers look pretty different when seeing them side-by-side in person. I had long wanted GT Silver, so I had it on my must-have list this time around. I do like Rhodium, as well ... it has a blue tint to it and otherwise reminds me of polar silver (though Eduardo tells me polar silver has even more blue tint).
