You'd be surprised what sells via an OPC. The most random colour and spec combinations find their way out of the showrooms time and time again. There are people with taste and there are people with interesting taste.

With regards to the new GT3, you could paint it in primer with Miami blue stitching and it'd sell...

They are already selling them in primer. They have given primer a fancy name called Chalk or Fashion grey all thats needed is for Porsche to change the configurator to allow Miami Blue stitching... Bingo

A few years back you struggled to sell a grey car how taste has changed.

It doesn't matter really what other people think of this or that colour...beauty is always in the eye of the beholder!

At the Oulton round of Carrera Cup there was a Miami Cayman and White fully loaded 911 Turbo on display. I was having a couple of brews and watched the crowds reactions to the cars as the passed. It was very surprising that the little Cayman got ALL the attention/photos from 90% of every man, woman & child! I felt really really sorry for the twice the price iconic 911 turbo, crazy world

MB is not for me but it works better on the GT3 than anything else I have seen it on.

As others have said there's no bad colour!

Wider front track.... looks nice and I really think the new style front bumper suits the RS.

Whats the cut out for?

Love the front wheelarch extensions. Looks similar to the 7.2 RS

Miami is one of the most popular colours so far

I think a lot of buyers could have ordered without seeing it in the flesh in dull light conditions hence your remark of most popular.

Haters gonna hate - no problem with that.

However, I don't know how often you spend £140k on a car but trust me, I'll bet not one person ordered a GT3 in any colour without seeing it first (in various conditions) during the 3 months from allocation to freeze point, especially a known Marmite colour like Miami.

I might be wrong, anyone actually order Miami without seeing it?

Amanda and I drove from Hereford to Wolverhampton to see a 911 in MB. Having seen it we chose it for our GT3 as we thought it looked great.

We were there and saw the Cayman in MB, we were both totally convinced that it was going to be the colour for our GT3.

This is our GT3 at present at Topaz who have nearly finished paint correction, detail and then full coverage of PPF. They did a superb job of our Lava Orange GT3RS and even after 6,000 miles the car required no remedial paint for it to be sold as a Porsche Approved used car.

Sad how a brand new £140k car needs paint correction after collection!?

Not sad at all and quite normal. Any areas displaying sanding marks will be removed to ensure perfect reflection and shine. Once the PPF has been fitted it is too late. Topaz pride themselves on doing a perfect job. Suggest you watch the video on U.Tube of Topaz doing exactly the same on a Bugatti Chiron that costs £2,500,000.: https://youtu.be/Cn2MFYgfznk?t=12s

Rob that's the best looking Miami GT3 I've seen. I know the craze seems to be satin aluminium and a lot of people will go satin black wheels but like me, you get the platinum

[Jim1556]

I get that they do an amazing job, but surely it should come from the factory perfect!

Yours looks gorgeous by the way!

Hi Rob, Great pics & GT3. I have my newly acquired .2 GTS in Miami heading over to Topaz next week for similar treatment. Can I ask if what ppf you went with - Topaz skin & Gtech coating?
Thanks in advance.

How much do Topaz charge for PPF and or Paint Correction ?
