I agree it's more costly for repaint and more difficult, but I do really like Carrara White Metallic. I think it's well worth the extra bucks. But of course, it's an opinion thing.
By the way, I've seen the two colors side by side as well and I think there is quite a big difference (to me at least).

 

I hope Ruby Star Neo does not look like that in normal lighting. I have high hopes for the color and that photo falls far short.

 

I was thinking about that photo and I'm sure they are using lighting with very cool temperature (kelvin). Also, the photos are probably not white balanced when processed.

 

I agree with what others are saying.. i think the lighting on this is very tough to tell... I also have high hopes for the color (now that im past my freeze date and have no other choice haha)... But as I said, I really think the 911 body shape, and more realistic lighting will allow the color to pop. From what I've seen on the 718 Boxster pics, it looks nothing like what we are seeing in this photo.

 

My initial order was Messian Blue in PTS. When that option died, I anguished over base White vs GT Silver. I love white cars and consider silver kinda generic. I was flamed for stating this earlier in this thread. White offers so many opportunities to do some really cool things. My thought was to paint the ED wheels in Gulf Blue and have a custom Carrera T door script made to match, Both could be done very inexpensivly, a tribute to the original T's and 72 Carrera RS's. If that got old the possibilities for changes are endless with white. My boss has a 992 in White, and well, it looks pretty vanilla. Not bad mind you. I chickened out and went GT Silver. Now, post freeze, I hope it offers some of the opportunities white does. 39 days to see! Enjoy your white car! No doubt it will rock.

 

oh wow it’s like rhubarb jam

 

I need more production pics... This looks literally nothing like any other Rubystar Neo photos we've seen so far...

 

Changed the exposure, white balance, and saturation a bit on the mac (preview). Not the right way to do it but when all you have is a jpeg....

 

Way better... Now we wait to see which one is more accurate lol. The original version looks sooo washed out, you were smart to play around with the filtering, but again, hard to know until someone takes delivery or we get more accurate assembly line photos from the other angles

 

It’s going to look amazing on the 992’s form though that’s for sure.

 

Anyone with US order for 992 Carerra T in jan or feb, whats your eta?
Mine says ordered on status page and delivery in june 2023.

Thanks

 

I'll take one.

 

Getting my Ruby Star Neo in May! Sometimes you just gotta take a leap of faith, it's a super bold color. It honestly won't break the driving experience for me if I don't end up loving the color.

The dealership made me put extra deposit down to make sure I'm committed. I'm assuming it's because the color is a hard sell with manual transmission lol.

 

You asked, I hesitate to answer BUT, that interior is BORING. It's your car so obviously do as you see fit and hopefully enjoy.

 

In 1984, I was pre-school age and my dad went into the local Cadillac dealer where he regularly bought his cars. He ordered an Eldorado in pale yellow, with pale yellow leather and a pale yellow half vinyl top. They asked him for a 50% deposit..and he paid it. I remember it looking pretty nice. Sometimes the best selections are outside the expected.
