New to this expensive hobby. Can you guys tell me what the most desirable colors are for the 993? Thanks

 

See this post for the answer ... Riviera Blue

IMHO in no particular order...Visuvius, Slate Grey, Fly Yellow, Viola Metallic, Riviera Blue, Mexico Blue

 

I think the silvers and blacks are the most desirable - that's why the majority (or at least a large minority) were spec'd this way when they were new.

 

White is the most desirable because they received the fastest motors!

 

+993

 

And only Porsche's most Senior Tech's were allowed to assemble the Arena Red ones, they practiced on the white, black and silver ones to gain experience and accreditation. And the silly comments above about "received the fastest motors" is incorrect. We all remember the "Kills Bugs Fast" ad campaign, right? If Porsche used a white car they would have been legally responsible to have only said "Kills Bugs" or "Kills Bugs Pretty Fast" and they were concerned about backlash from PETA. This is a true story. Really.:

 

Correct. This was due to the fact that they put all of the out of spec parts in a pile and saved them for the arena red cars. Only the best tech's were able to get it to all fit and still work.

 

way, way, waaaay too subjective of a question.

Most desireable, compared to most rare is perhaps a better question.

Naturally, Silver, black, then various red's, are the most common. Lots of colors in the 993 palet year to year.

 

The beauty of these cars is that they look awesome whatever color you choose.

 

I don't know that I would go that far.....

Need to find that photo.....

 

Well.......there was that yellow one with the blue interior.....

 

Dr Ferry Porsche personally worked on the assembly of the Speed Yellow cars!

 

Black, silver and White are nice and "safe" colours. However IMHO I think the curves of a 993 look even more attractive in some rarer colours like riviera blue, midnight blue or AG

 

Hell with the colors, I'm glad that I own one that I enjoy, color I like, is mechanically sound and I drive the **** out of it when I can.
