Default Anybody have pics of 996/997s in the following colors?

I'm considering a 997S but am stumped on the color. The configurator doesn't do justice to a pic of a real car.

Atlas Grey Metallic
Basalt Black
Seal Grey
Arctic Silver

I like red and yellow but they attract too much attention for me.

Thanks in advance.

Arctic Silver


Seal Grey


Basalt Black - A metallic Black


Atlas Gray Metallic (no picture found yet) - Darker than Seal, lighter than Basalt, with a distictly blue cast. A darkish blue charcoal color

Seal Gray is my choice!

out of the 4 conservative colours:

Atlas Grey Metallic
Basalt Black
Seal Grey
Arctic Silver

Black is definitely the best, that or atlas.

and from out of guards red/speed yellow

definitely guards red. loud but not yellow loud.

One thing you should know about the Atlas Grey is that there is a definite blue-purple tinge to it. More purple than blue in fact. FYI.

I'm really leaning towards Atlas Grey/Black Full Leather.

I agree as well that it looks stunning. Plus it's a little different.

As I've read elsewhere there are only 3 classic color choices for a 911 Carrera:

1.) Black
2.) Noir
3.) Schwartz

I agree, the car configurator is pants !

Midnight looks lighter than lapis in the flesh

lapis looks like cobalt !

Definately not right !

I am told that Guards Red won't be available until November build, for some reason.
