Here is another nice evening picture.
The GT3RS is one of 3 special paint ( Mexico Blue ) 997.2 with blue painted calipers (Carbon).
The blue calipers are a nice touch. I know that for the last 20 years (since the "Big Reds" introduction), Porsche has matched caliper colour to various items:
Black = standard.
Red = upgraded model brakes (Turbo, RS, GT3, "S" etc).
Yellow = Ceramic brakes (other than on 993 Turbo S which had yellow paint on its "big red"/Turbo brakes).
Silver = AWD.
With most upmarket manufacturers offering custom caliper colours these days, I think Porsche should leave the decision up to the buyer. Sometimes all the colours are just too much (think White GT2RS with gold wheels, black hood, yellow calipers, and black/red interior......). Just my opinion.
