I thought I'd circle back to this thread and report that today, 2 weeks prior to my lock date, I changed my color from Aventurine Green to Shark Blue! Big change, eh? I'm excited!


My configuration



Not my car.

My car is on order as a `22. I found that pic online. But those rims were definitely available for `21 as my friend has them on his `21.

IDK about "king" but to me, an ardent racing fan, silver or white are the colors a Porsche SHOULD be. I love PG and LO but a silver 911 will draw more attention than necessary in WNY so no need to scream to the treetops with PG, GR, or LO. If I lived in a warm wealthier locale than where I am now, I'd definitely go for a brighter color, history be damned.

Lizzard green or whatever its called is boring AF because you will get tired of it in a month. Buy cars that will last forever. Classic colors are the best. Sorry 😙

Anyone saying “white is boring” has clearly never seen a Carrara White Metallic 911 in person.

Carrara White Metallic is the king in my opinion, named after Carrara marble it reflects light exceedingly well.

GT Silver? does very well in sunsets as well from the photos of other peoples cars that I have seen

You have it backwards. People have seen it, over and over and over again. Do you know how many 911s with white exterior and black or burgundy interiors there are in the world??? That's what makes it boring.

I have an entire wardrobe of black and white clothes, they are all still unique pieces

anyways, my point was that its not enough about the white color itself. I pointed out the marble reference because of youve ever been to a place built with excessive amounts of white marble you would know that it reflects light pretty well, sometimes even blindingly so. visit the taj mahal in middle of september and you'll know what I am talking about.

you only think you've seen Carrara White Metallic, but can you really see a blank canvas when you can infinite variations on it?

I chose Aventurine Green Metallic with the clear package. It suits the Mid West and four season driving.
