Nice to see an advert where they've taken the time to use quality photos.

When I first saw the advert I thought it was pictures from the Porsche Configurator. It doesn't look natural in my opinion

You have the definite NO!, Si...?..

Oh yes - I posted some time ago.

My dealer was very upfront with me that they had unfulfilled orders from the 991.1 GT3 and they would take priority.

Who knows if that will actually be the case, but it seems fair enough.

Yep whites great on the GT3...especially with red stitching and carbon imo. Metallic white is wasted on the car imo as largely indistuinguishable from flat white on a typically dull UK day, and when the suns on it its too bright anyway.

Not true when I went to see my cwm gt4 for the first time awaiting Pdi it was in the compound on a dull December day in made the normal white cars look yellowish!
If I was lucky enough to get a gt3 I would choose Carrera White Metallic I over Carrera White in a heartbeat !

For those of you contemplating Riviera Blue having secured your PTS slot JZM have just taken a Gen 1 in. I would speculate as to whether that's value but this is the "speccing" thread!

That's lovely that and to think that would have been circa £160k a little while back!

So lovely its apparently sold !

Did not think that would hang around long at that price!

Oh Yes, looks lovely in those photo's... BUT, anyone considering MB really needs to see it in the flesh. I recently saw a Cayman in it at an OPC and it looked nothing like I thought it would that I questioned the OPC that it really was Miami!! Looked awful (in the flesh)

Yes I would agree. I thought it would be a nice colour also. Then like you I saw a 991 in my OPC in MB and was not impressed.

I would also agree, I saw a Cayman in MB on a sunny day in Lyme Regis and was surprised how different it looked in the flesh, not great imo...

MB is more aqua.

Miami and Riveria -

Looks like it works ; not a fan of the rear air intakes though - anyone seen one in the metal - do they look ok ?

[Cheib]

Another video I hadn't seen before here at 1.55 there's a great shot of a 991.1 and 991.2 nose on....front end's are quite different.

Talking colours I saw a Riviera and a Mexico next to each other yesterday and they're very similar indeed. Mexica slightly darker but oh so close in the metal.

I've just bought my first ever white car. A GT4 (second one) in standard white and I like it!
Previous was Guards so good to have a change. Looks better dirty!

The Gen1 is so much cleaner looking from the rear..Personal preference of course though..

Because of the new air scoops ?

I am guessing a lot of people will be seeing if they can be painted. Small price to pay if the engine is as good as AP says it is.

The extra detailing on the bumper itself too. Having said that, i have yet to see it in the flesh. Certainly has a lot of changes from the gen1..
