Anyone seen one in white or does anyone have any scans of a white 997/S out in the wild so to speak.

I was looking at some Porsche mags last night and there were a couple of shots of original 911's in white. It looked terrific, and really "clean". It had me wondering whether white might be an interesting alternative to silver/gray.

Thoughts? What color interior would work best? Any good scans of a white 997 to share?

I love the 911 in White. I have one ordered... I ordered black interior but am thinking about the grey.

There are some photos posted here - if you search the 997 forum you should find them.

I saw (and posted awhile ago) a white 997 on the floor at Strongs in Salt Lake City. It had the olive green interior (I don't know what Porsche calls it) and it looked spectacular. I was really quite surprised, because that combination wouldn't have initially occured to me, but it really looked very nice. In fact, the guy that went in with me (I had a silver 997 with Sea Blue interior on order) seriously considered buying it on the spot, but for his recent purchase of an M3.

I took this pic outside of Porsche factory in Stuttgart - Zuffenhausen

I think white looks good (and is a serious contender for me) but I think it looks really good with white painted wheels to match (the old 996 speedlines look fab)

Somehow the standard alloy colour looks a bit sad against the white bodywork.

Anyone have any pics of white + white wheels ?

I saw a white one the the blue interior and it actually made me stop and look at it again. It looked fantastic.

Holy cow, already on the track.

That was the 1st time. The second time (last Sunday) I had slicks on and what a difference! 142 mph on the Sebring track. Fantastic stock brakes, no fade.

Nice looking wheels on the 997S! Anyone know what they are? Maybe the new Champion RS98's?

Champion Motorsports. 19x8.5 and 19x11.5

Correct - just confirmed with Dave at Wheel Enhancement that they are the Champion RS98's - I was checking them about a week or two ago and have been pondering getting them to replace the clamshells (which I still kinda like though maybe I'm tiring of them a little).

clamshells are very sellable on ebay
