1) GT Silver
2) Polar Silver

Artic silver is not bad but there's too many of them!

Polar Silver is one of my favorite Porsche colors, along with Amazon Green, Orient Red, and Irish Green.

For my tastes when I was searching for a MKII C2 coupe...

First Choice:
  • Seal Gray
  • Polar Silver
  • White

Second Choice:
  • Black
  • Arctic Silver
  • Arena Red

Looks great on other peoples car, but definitely not for me:
  • Speed Yellow
  • Guards Red
  • Forest Green

Similarly, wood trim, tan interiors, and soft-look leather were all deal-breakers for me. Just not my taste...

There are a lot of polar fans. I almost bought a polar TT, but the color didn't do it for me. I prefer arctic or gt.

i didnt realize it was that dramatic a difference. the polar silver seems more vivid in this pic. polar is awesome and i like that the colour seems to change somewhat between a grey overcast kinda day and a full sun kinda day.

a friend mentioned he saw me blast past him one day...said it looked awesome and the car is very distinctive looking in the polar silver.

I searched for a year in 2007 for a Targa with a different interior and fell in love with the Arctic Silver and Boxter Red full leather interior!
