Arctic Grey GTS - I would go with black calipers.

I just took delivery of a base AG coupe which has “gray” calipers - which actually look good and maintain the monochrome theme with Spyder rims.

I think red calipers would detract and not enhance the overall aesthetic.

Enough with the boring grays blacks and whites. You are getting a sports car, not a boring sedan. Get guards red, with red calipers and red seatbelts and red chrono and be done with it.

I wanted yellow calipers, but the Ceramics will throw me over budget. I was thinking of painting them, but people might think that I'm passing them for ceramics.

Btw, the color looks amazing on your car, thank you for posting your car! It give me a whole new perspective, I haven't seen a 992 with Artic gray in Kuwait.

The problem is all 911 in Kuwait have a red interior and It drives me crazy, I want to be different and black will always stay classy.

No, I haven't, but I love the blue accent in the Artic gray.

I have read several posts that the new 992.2 GTS will have a 3.6 N/A Engine. According to Car and Driver the Carrera GTS is set to drop its current 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six in favor of a brand-new 3.6-litre N/A unit. Power is said to rise by 10bhp to 483bhp, however torque will be dropping by 7lb ft to 413lb fit.

What do you think?

It’s really such a har decision to make… I’ve been playing around on the configurator. I think Arctic Grey looks best with chalk interior and chalk gauges. Obviously light seats is a huge change from what you’re looking at. Even with black interior I think I like Arctic best with chalk accents. LOVE the black brake calipers with art I grey though.

chalk with black interior and red calipers / gauges are always good option.

I agree that with yellow accents, I would only do that if I optioned the yellow PCCB’s.

chalk with black interior / red gauges/ calipers would be my vote.
What do you think about black interior with crayon/chalk sticking?

My Cayenne is carmine red, I don't want another red Porsche. I also want something more elegant and less flashy (no offense) I'm no longer in my 30s.

I like chalk stitching with black interior. Chalk stitching, white or chalk tachometer/chrono. I think it’s a good look. Chalk belts would be cool too. Give you enough chalk contrast which goes nice with artic grey, without going full chalk seats.

Always black calipers.
With every Fast and Furious special out there rocking red or yellow calipers, it doesn't mean what it used to.

Default Tomorrow I have to place the order

Last day to help me decide, I made up my mind on the interior color. I'm going with yellow seat belts and gauges.

The big questions: Crayon (Chalk) or Artic Gray ???

Go with Chalk. I have yellow seat belts and stitching in my chalk GT4 with black calipers. The 992 tach and clock would tie it all nicely. Chalk also has a brownish base, which is closer to being a warm colour rather than the blue undertone of Arctic and won't clash with the yellow (warm colour).

I do particularly like the combination of Gentian Blue with yellow, but at that point you truly own the cool blue rather than just an undertone.

With these new colors, I always think which ones will still look cool in 10 years or 20 years. Of course that’s its own debate. Of the two, I expect Arctic Gray will age much better so that would be my choice.
