Default GT Silver photos

Just in case someone is considering a GT Silver 992 GT3, here are some photos of my car in the various lighting conditions to help you with your decision—one way or the other.

Needless to say, I'm very pleased with the GT Silver in standard California lighting conditions.

Looks fantastic. GT Silver with PCCBs is always great.

Love it. Love the wheels. Beautiful color. What is your interior color?

With all the "fancy" colors, it's nice to see GT Silver. It looks great.

Thanks for sharing. My current choice is GT Silver, but I am SO on the fence... I had a GT Silver 991.2 and didn't like it - but I think on the GT, with more black accents, it looks good.
Am also considering Dolomite, or Jet Black - have 3 days left before my config locks.

I'm glad I ordered mine in GT silver, for how "common" it is, i've hardly seen any 992 GT3 in it..

Silver is Germany's traditional motorsport color to identify them.

This thread is ultimately arriving at the same points I held in my head when debating the purchase:
- GT Silver is the color of the 992 Cup Car
- The silver looks pretty good with the black plastic and satin black elements to break it up. The complexity of the hips and ducktail are really emphasized in this color as well. (I would not order a Carrera in GT Silver—it doesn't look as good.)
- Buy the car for your climate. If I lived further north, I would probably have ordered Jet Black Metallic because black looks best on overcast days or in the rain/snow. California sun is unforgiving to black cars.
- The color is literally called "GT" Silver and the base interior is accented in GT Silver stitching, so that helped me decide between Dolomite and GT Silver.

I'm glad the photos are helpful.

I always thought 992 is the new 996 in terms of ugliness but they did a good job in 992 gt3... definitely looks more exotic than the old gen.

To each their own, but I think both the GT3, the Turbo, and even the non-Special cars, are bounds and leaps beyond all others, except the 993...

Awesome. Been tossing between the Carbon Fiber roof or not. Like the way yours looks.
