I've seen it on a Cayenne, and it looks spectacular!

Porsche Sports Car, in my humble opinion,......no.

Cheers!

Prob not so much on a GT3; I think 'primary colors' or white/black work best esp given the interior color choice ;-) ..

But I've seen a Turbo cab with a natural leather interior in Cape May a couple of times and thought it very nice. See here for another: https://rennlist.com/forums/6652479-post13.html

Right, so here's my question: what was Porsche thinking with color choices for the GT3? Two greens (how many green GT3s do you think they'll sell), gold (sorry, but WTF), macadamia (maybe not a bad color but not on a GT3)?!? Meanwhile we get one blue - no Midnight Blue, no Riviera Blue, no Dark Blue Metallic.

I was thinking the same thing looking at the color choices.. let's see what they come up with for the RS with their "muted" colors???!!!

My point exactly in an earlier thread... Porsche should be embarrassed to have these colors seen on cars like the GT2 and GT3 as opposed to offering more appropriate ones... and nobody ever orders them so why hasn't the penny or euro or watever dropped at PAG.

If they had a 2 or 3 popular "GT friendly" colors, they would easily get a cluster of orders together quickly to put them into production and out to customers without delay.... and we wouldn't have 80% of gt cars in the same four to five common colors....

There is a certain logic to having an over performing car, understated in terms of color!

When it is underperforming (parked) then maybe it needs to be an attention *****!

Horses for courses!

Different strokes... I love that colour... but more on a turbo than a GT3. Agree that a GT3 should be a primary colour.

I have seen the same golden brown GT2 at the Ring twice this spring. So they sold one.
