So, paint to sample IS an option now on the 3? They wouldn't do it on my '07 GT3. Why not slate grey with all blk whls? Solid, non-metallic and super stealth at the same time. That or Mexico Blue. The first one is??? The second is Subi WR pearl blue.

is that aftermarket, or can you do that on special order?
I wish. It is Apex or LateApex or some other RL name with Apex in it.

He is an instructor with the PCA Rennsport Region. Nice guy, good driver.

I tend to agree on the Nordic Gold. It reminds me of the color Nissan has been using on everything from 350Z's to minivans on the past 5 years.

Great at first, but I think I would tire of it.

Ah, yes.

Apologies, disclosure-wise.

I in fact did neglect to mention that my car has the ultra top secret, highly-classified, double secret probation rendition of Porsche A1 black paint.

As to its formulation, well, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you.

Given that, my clear bra application is outstanding.

Over and out, ten-four, code-blue, and section 8.

The local Martini GT3 was sold about a year and a half ago has gone to a new home minus the Martini stripes and Recaro Pole Positions (went to CWAY).


I'd go for Viper Red, Guards Red, Mexico Blue or Riviera Blue. GT3 needs a bright color.

Bingo! It's a GT3...why hide it with a stealthy color?!! All of my Pcars have been Guards Red...still don't get tired of 'em and always draws compliments on the road.

Well...I'm looking forward to everyone's pics when you all take delivery!

White? Beautiful, yet so light on the MkI.

Red Indian? it is highlighted on the site, but it is not Ferrari too?

The new colors?

Please, I need your help
All Porsches should be silver!!!

Just like the MK1, this car will look great in any colour. I saw an arena red MK1 GT3 and it looked good too. For the MK2, this would be my preference:

1. White
2. Red w/steel brakes or Yellow w/PCCB
3. Meteor Grey w/black wheels

When the MK1 was launched in white, everyone ordered white so I went with red, but now that the MK2 has launched in red, we'll see a lot more of those, so I'd rather go for white or yellow.

I would have ordered yellow for my car, except that I wasn't going for PCCB and didn't want the ronald mcdonald effect of the red and yellow clashing.

I wish Porsche offered more non-metallic color choices.

I think m going to go with Guards Red (a third time) or Viper Green. Tough choice.

Spec'd mine today at the dealer. I used the codes from the Czech configurator and it helped since there didn't seem to be much info in the Porsche NA system. Guards Red; black wheels; red stitching, center console and dials; sport buckets; light weight headlights and tried to order dynamic engine mounts but the system wouldn't accept it. Told I had a July build date for delivery right around Labor Day.
