So IF you had a slot for a GT3 not touring what colour would you choose from only the standard in other words not PTS?

...Shark Blue looks amazing but maybe too many cars in that colour?
...White just a little understated...I love white and looks great but maybe not on a GT3?
...Black looks amazing but is it a car you would want to own and keep clean?
...Lava Orange says "I've arrived" always think of it as an RS colour which is good but then its extra money for the paint plus you can't get the stitching, chrono and spedo in orange
...Python green...costs £2525 for the paint but you can get seatbelts and dials in Python
...GT Silver classic do like the colour but it is little to understated for the GT3 looks lighter on the config than IMO in real life
...Crayon....looks great under bright lights and in the sun. However doesn't always look good when its dull and was better when it was more exclusive but now its available on all models pretty much
...Guards Red...classic Porsche colour. don't have to pay extra for the paint like most the others and can get seatbelts, dials, etc to match
...Gentian...lovely colour but personally not one for me on the GT3
...Agate Grey...very nice colour not too loud looks lighter on the config than IMO in real life
...Racing Yellow...I really like it. I think it suits the car its a base colour so not cost extra and you can get seatbelts and dials in yellow

Views/thoughts/opinions? anything I've missed?

On a touring probably Agate, but if possible I would definitely go PTS

Guards Red - classic Porsche color and looks great with a black interior.

I've been struggling to decide. At the moment I can't see past white with silver wheels for some reason. Think because it reminds me of my 2007 997 GT3 which I loved.

I was surprised to see one of the UK press cars has been done in PTS Rubystone/Rubystar if everyone isn't being offered PTS.

Looks lovely - a bit similar to Atlas Grey, but more grey, less blue?

Something like dark olive....

Shark Blue. It's the best new colour from Porsche in ages.

Not touring, sorry missed that.

The Porsche Australia 70th GT3 in Fish Silver Grey Metallic looks pretty cool imho.

Looks like plain old Rhodium Silver to me, can’t see the difference….

White. Just looks purposeful in white. Less is more . Ages well also.

A Touring . Agate. Steath spec as befits a touring.

Black alloys on both.

Pts would be arena red . Again black alloys .

Mind you my dream car would be a 992turbo coupe in macadamia on std alloys so what do i know!

Lava Orange stitching, among many other colours is available in the 'Interior Trim Package with decorative stitching and embroidery in contrasting colour'







...chrono and spedo would be fine in black (or white maybe) coloured dials are too distracting...but if you flash the cash you could probably get those, at least orange seat belts, as a CXX option.

Therefore, Lava orange for me.

Shark blue, like how i commented about Gentian blue, will grow to become boring IMO.

Again what I sense here is yet more evidence that folk don't study every single option on the configurator - seems like people rush through it. Take your time, there are many hidden options in there that seemingly few realise.

Just to be clear are you saying Lave Orange is a great colour to have? or too common?

Thanks
