I know a guy who's getting one soon in PTS Fire Red WP. He will keep it a good while and do a lot of miles and track days in it. It'll look incredible in that colour.

That's the one currently at JZM having a Geo and JCR setups installed.

Flame suit on, but I think it looks dull/boring in that colour, but once again backs up my argument that 4RS allocations have seemingly predominantly gone to selective people who they knew would PTS and WP high-spec etc.
Some might say it’s a classy colour that’s not as shouty as Shark Blue……each to their own.

I’d be one of those people, very classy.

Agreed, I think the 4RS needs a louder colour. This colour suits a Touring better imo

Equally I’m a big fan. Blues and Greens look absolutely brilliant on a GT Car and really like the subtlety of it. Similar in some ways to the blue on the JCR GT2 RS.

My GT Silver WP car should arrive in the next few days... I kind of like subtle (as subtle as a GT4 RS can be!).

Would it be fair to say those of us who are ‘a bit longer in the tooth’ prefer more subtle colours and the younger generation prefer brighter/bolder?

Unfortunately I’m the wrong side of 50 and couldn’t drive bright coloured but respect that the young guns love them and see them as ‘more fun’…..

Also struggle with huge wings/scaffolding but again I think it’s a age thing! Couldn’t drive a GTRS but an under the radar Touring yes please!

I think bright colours suit lairy looking cars which the GT4RS definitely is. The ones with subtle colours don't suit it as much.

I think GT Silver is a great colour on the GT cars, shows off the body detail lines very well, nice contrast with the black trims and CF, and looks great in any light thumbup

Yachting Blue is a stunning colour, and this looks classy yet purposeful!

Definitely inspired by this GT2 RS

‘Classy and sophisticated’ ?. biggrin

About as much as Gemma’s Collins is, in a onesie and sliders.

It must be an age thing, I’m sure a great drive, but looks more ‘drive thru’ than Alps passes I’m afraid.

GT Silver every time for me, always looks clean and classy, plus great with WP and Mag gold wheels.

No, I think it’s a completely individual thing, age isn’t that relevant IMO

You are of course entitled to your own OPINIONbiggrin

For me, a more muted colour like this tones down the overall ‘lairy-ness’ of the 4RS’ and extra appendages and overt attempts at aggression…. which suits my personal taste…
