    GT3 colours

    Hi, I just wanted to see what everyone thinks is the best colour for GT3. Thanks for your input

    Re: GT3 colours

    Over 50% of respondents have said white.

    I bet that if this pole were up 2 years ago, we'd see the same thing but the most common response would be yellow.

    This is the result of advertising at it's best. Who really wants to admit that the color chosen for the catalogue will influence their own personal color choice?

    Re: GT3 colours

    I honestly think white is the best color for the gt3 because it makes it look like a race car and highlights the various vents and trim elements.

    gotta agree with you there

    Re: GT3 colours

    BTW, that's Carrara white,--not Carrera. (As in the city in Italy where the Carrara marble comes from). (Ask Michelangelo).

    Please tell me your 996 GT3 was yellow!

    Re: GT3 colours

    My 996 GT3 is in Guards Red.I think the 997 GT3 also looks very good in that colour.

    Having my wife as responsble for the colour department in Europe of the largest manufacture in the world, I can tell you that it is not a marketing influence but it reflects the taste of these years for the sport models of Porsche, designers are there for this, to forecast taste and tendencies.

    Of course advertising plays a role in it. We all know how easily we are influenced by it, but it is not at all the main reason.

    I have not seen the GT3 in real yet, but I would opt either for guards red or white, of course only with dark wheels.

    Re: GT3 colours

    Generally speaking, I can't stand white cars but with the 997 GT3 it does look stunning. And I agree the contrasting black trim and race car vibe help make it work. Its definitely not the marketing because the orange RS strikes me as hideous and I didn't like the 996 RS either

    well over here in UAE everyone buy a white color too much sand too much sun ruin any paint job and will always look dirty so we buy white cars white porsches white ferraris and even white buggatis LOL and not to mention the infamous white Zonda and also the great white SLR all white country over here and to be honest white is a great color on porsches i my self ordered 99tTT white

    Re: GT3 colours

    When I first saw the 996GT3 Mk2 in Geneva I fell in love with the yellow...and of course I ordered my car in the same colour!

    This year I went to Geneva only to see the 997GT3...and I fell in love again! Obviously this one will be withe!

    It's not only marketing...we have to agree that the withe it's the best looking colour on the 997GT3!

    Re: GT3 colours

    My 996GT3 was white and if I could get a 997 GT3RS in white, I would. White is the true German racing colour.

    Re: GT3 colours

    yea, its in the catalog in white....but out of all the colors i've seen it in so far, white honestly looks the best. They could've launched the car in yellow & put it in the catalog in yellow, and if i saw pictures of a white one, i still would've chosen white

    Well that's the real question isn't it.

    White is an uncommon color for Porsches. Ask your dealer how easy it is to sell a white Porsche. Despite that, It is by far the color of choice for the GT3. Because the GT3 is so different from other 911's that it is the only model that looks so good in white? Baloney. Most of you haven't even see the GT3 in person. The reason you think it looks so good in white is because the Porsche pics of it are terrific pics that make the car look gorgeous, and they happen to be of a white car . . .

    C'mon - look at the numbers . . .

    Search pre-owned 996 GT3's and see how many are yellow compared to other 911's.

    This influence is real, whether you want to believe it or you'd rather come up with some rationalization that helps you not. This poll has completely convinced me.

    I remain envious of your garage contents, past and present.

    Re: GT3 colours

    Gt silver,or maybe Cobalt blue

    Re: GT3 colours

    I think what makes the while looks good is because of the black lip and vents, also white shows more of the GT3 features and character.
    but my choice is black, second choice will be GT Silver.

    Re: GT3 colours

    What? No votes for Zanzibar red?
