What's the difference? Neither of them will be properly expressed on a computer screen. It is for sure not GR nor Lava Orange if this colour looks exactly like this in real life.

Of course we all know it is GR in reality.

in person, LO and GR are worlds apart

but in some pics on-line, they are sometimes a little difficult to tell

or maybe its my macular degeneration acting up

I owned a GR and now have CR. The earlier picture I think clearly displays GR.

Agree that some times photos are confusing but not that one

LO you either love or hate. For me- no like. In certain lighting is is salmon

These are indeed some nice outdoor candid pics. Not under some auto show lights with photographers wanting to add their own exposure spin on them.

Yes of course I have seen many LO... I own a GR .2 and my GT4 was CR..

It's just that on a computer monitor sometimes it can be misleading... could be my sorryazz vision though!

And I did think it was GR at first...

Amen.

And for example here's the GR I shot at the recent NYIAS...

Screens are very misleading because people post process the color profile to exaggerate the elements they want to see.

Someone posted a pic of a yellow GT3 recently. Looked amazing. Then, if you looked at the yellow road markings on the asphalt they were almost radioactive.

Most of the GR shots of the new GT3 aren't massively color-corrected to my eyes, but the saturation is bumped up massively to make it stand out.

Miami Blue is often post-processed to take some of the green out of it. If people want to tweak it to look like another shade of blue, why don't they just order it in another shade of blue? It's a good, strong color in its own right... why tweak it to make it look like something else.

Lava is often post-processed to take the peach/salmon tones out. Again, a nice color, but often tweaked to look like something else.

Always better to see a car in that color in person. Even if it's on a Macan.

Question is.. what will the manual do? Actually, that's more of a curiosity.. since I just want the manual for manual's sake regardless

Getting a manual, but this gives a good indication of the step on in terms of the chassis and aero capability. Wow!
