Looks good, there was a "regular" GT3 in orange at Siverstone on Sunday, first I have seen in that colour....really did look spot on

Anyone got some piccies??

surely the 997 GT3 is not the original in this....wasn't there a certain 73RS in these colours???

[cardigankid]

If it looks good on a 997 GT3RS why should it not look good on a 997 turbo? Personally I wouldn't specify it, but, hey...

[Agent Orange]

In '73 u had Blutorange , sold here as Tangerine or Gulf ..........these are both different..........evem though my eyes may have failed some in the last 44 years !

[Hammerwerfer]

My '76 Carrera 3.0 was Blutorange. Great Porsche colour.

[Agent Orange]

In 72/73 Blutorange was considered inappropriate for the UK MARKET !!!!!! hence tangerine .............doesnt matter what its called its the full on orange to have ..............so i ve got two!

I think it looks quite good - the "modern" color updates the car to look newer. Before the orange GT3 RS was available Blut Orange/Tangerine were "old" colours that made me think of 1970's 911s and 914s but now they make the car appear more up to date. (AO's 993 GT2 is the exception; that car will always look the DB's.) Similarly, Riviera Blue immediately dates a car to 1995-97, at least to me.

I like it and any chnage in wheels on a 997TT is a good thing as the std ones are awful.

I would have kept the rear spoiler all orange too.

[burriana]

I think the wheel spokes are a little too thin for my taste ... but the colour

I wait in vain to one day find a perfect car, superb in every way but needing a full re-spray, and dirt cheap accordingly ... it never happens

Viper Green anyone?

[Agent Orange]

Thanks for that Chris , it was ordered from factory , HAS STICKER ETC says ' blutorange'..........had a '73 rs in ' 78 this colour , all helps to preserve my youff! Totally agree on Yanks car its just right for where it is in time .................
