992 GT3 what colour would you choose? - Page 3 - 911/Carrera GT - PistonHeads UK

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.

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? Guards, silver wheels.....yum.

I've gone for Carbon Steel Grey Metallic PTS.

I think I would go with a dark green on a Touring. 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.

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!

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. Edited by julian987R on Thursday 2nd December 00:25

I know you said not PTS but here's a few original colours I saw today....all lined up for a photo which is handy. One on the left is Irish Green

julian987R said: Great pic...... but Green has been done to death now. Orange is the new Black. Just to be clear are you saying Lave Orange is a great colour to have? or too common? Thanks

You sure you don't want PTS?

Twinfan said: You sure you don't want PTS? As I mentioned earlier, that's what the latest UK press car looks like. My mate has an order in for a 992 Turbo S in Rubystone but I think he needs to see a car in the flesh to make a final decision.

Good question. Have similar dilemma for a touring. Really like shark blue, but intention of the touring is to be discrete for daily use, and therefore looking at crayon and agate with gold wheels. Almost went crayon on 991 GT3, but there now seems to ne a lot of crayon Porsches around as so readily available.

Twinfan said: You sure you don't want PTS? I really like that!

Mad Scientist said: I really like that! You would, you mentalist!

Some of those PTS options are lovely.. Brewster Green or maybe Nardo Grey would be perfect.

julian987R said: A good gallery of PTS of "Rare Shades", an event to showcase Porsches in rare, unusual, and paint-to-sample colors at Canepa Design in Scotts Valley, California. https://www.flickr.com/photos/96353766@N05/sets/72... I was hoping for the thread to only discuss standard non PTS colours as a PTS slot is obviously even harder to get Thanks

Probably GT Silver out of the standard colours on a regular GT3. Agree that Agate looks cool on the Touring.

Yawn. No point being a shrinking violet in a GT3.

Twinfan said: You sure you don't want PTS? crikey,going to look a proper fanny driving around in that. what a waste of a car

Twinfan said: You sure you don't want PTS? I thought Katie Price was skint days?

This is crayon which is as mentioned quite different depending on the light.

Well, nobody picked it but I've just paid my deposit for Gentian with Neodyme wheels and black trim pack. Couldn't get a PTS slot with PCCB's so had to stick to the standard palette. Hit me with your critiques, I can take it!

Saw this at the dealer: well..partially

Sport_Turismo_GTS said: Maybe you can link to the Porsche code for your build? PCCB's are out of stock for Turbo S and GT3 so you'll get an error code. But this is the build, with confirmed PCCB's added and build slot July. PNRQ5S35

RDMcG said: Saw this at the dealer: well..partially For the winged GT3 in a stock colour, that would be my choice of body and wheel colours. As the owner of this car, I'd forked out the money for black calipers as the red ones clash with the Neodyne wheels IMO

Here’s a couple of photos of mine on the production line, PTS Carbon steel metallic.

RDMcG said: Saw this at the dealer: well..partially I went Python green but wasn't easy to not go with shark blue. Really love Python green ever since first time when I immediately thought "that's a GT colour!". Shows shape really well the way it picks up light. I think Guards really suits 992 gt3, possibly because of black section at front. It's also pretty smart £ and option wise. If pts I'd say Gulf or Pastel orange

Yeah 997rs were definitely influenced me!
