I like the gray black with Guards Red. Dont like the decals but that fix is easy enough.

Easy = White/Red

Safe = Grey/Red

Adventurous = White/Gold (Seen this combo on a 74 RS 3.0 and liked it.)

Brave = Blue/Red, Blue/Gold, Grey/Gold. Are they "classic" bright/RS colours? No, but they are "in your face" and very attention grabbing. Let's see some real world shots.

Not at all a fan of the new color schemes, WTF were they thinking? If I were to buy one though, I'd go for the White/Red combo. Ditch the new graphics & have a set of 997.1 GT3RS decals made up in the same Red to match the wheels & other stuff. Done.

I think they chose these colors so they can charge us $4-6K for a regular Porsche color plus wheels painted black. This is why they priced it at $132,800 and not close to $139,900 which is where it will end up just to change paint/wheel color.

I'd take an aqua with the white gold wheels, but no graphics...

'Course, in reality I'd take ANY of them...

Hard anodized black; it's lighter and more resistant.

For me, it would be a tie between grey/red and white/red. Darn I can't decide til i see it in person.

I would have loved to see white/black or black/white. From the color choices online, I really didn't like any of them. Hopefully there will be a paint to sample or special order option.

may as well have the Flying Lizards logo on the car. At least it would look better than what they have on it now. Delete that front "lipstick" opening.

It's Porsche so I'm sure color options is all a matter on how much it means to you and how much you can hand over.
