Carrera GT Options and Colours

[porsales]

Does anyone know where I can find a list of all the int and ext colours that the Carrera GT was available in and also what options were available from the factory?

I think you will find that it was available in six paint colours:
- solid black
- metallic black
- "Fayence" yellow (a bit darker than signal yellow)
- solid red
- seal grey
- some dopey silver

and in four interiors:
- black
- grey
- a terracotta-like reddish-brown
- medium brown with black accents

After production had ramped up, you could also specify a custom colour, for a price.

What shade is Dopey silver? Was that a Carrera GT only colour?

That's 'paint as sample', cobalt blue, looks fantastic but a tad strong at £300k!!

Why don't you order a GT2, at least as much street cred, just as fast, and keep the change?

Dopey silver is any silver.

IIRC, in this case it was a silver devised specifically and "uniquely" for the CGT, but subsequently Porsche offered it on other cars, which of course is their typical ploy to eke out a bit more profit whilst undercutting existing customers.

I have been told that the UK RHD GT2 allocation is just 33 examples. I wonder how this compares to the amount of imported CGT's there are over here?

Well, I mean, without wishing to knock a fantastic car, if you park your Carrera GT at the roadside, 99% of the passing public just think you've got a blinged up Boxster. Hard but true. Park a GT2 by the roadside and those who are not trying to vandalise or steal it will think the Martians have landed.

Anyone who thinks the GT is a 'blinged up Boxster' is going to think the GT2 is just another 911.

IF I had a GT to park at the roadside, to be frank, I doubt I'd care too much what the great unwashed thought!

Maybe you are right, but I suppose my real point is for £330,000 I could buy all the cars I ever wanted. In Munich in October '05 I saw a black GT parked by the kerb overnight with no more concern than if it had been a VW Beetle, and I don't imagine that the owner was worried about what the great unwashed thought.

That could be.
I can tell you that the CGT looks a lot more different from a Boxster than the new GT2 does from all the other 911 variants.
As for performance, although Rohrl allegedly did a 7:29 at the NS in the new GT2, on equal tyres the CGT is fundamentally quicker - 10% lighter, much better aero, more power, lower CoG, lower polar moment. It's no contest.
