    Orange/White/Black ? 2009 Turbo!

    Finally, I decide to buy a 2009 Turbo, just on time to have the last year GT1 block!

    This Turbo will be a keeper, but I still cannot decide on the color.

    The choices are RS orange/black interior, White/Cocoa interior and Black/black interior.

    Any suggestion and pics would be great, thank you!

    RS Orange is the paint to sample option and HP is still the same 480.

    Re: Orange/White/Black ? 2009 Turbo!

    I like Cararra White for the TT and GT Orange for the GT3 RS. My last three cars have been black and, black is more of a hobby than a color. I like non-metallic black (Black) better than metallic black (Basalt Black) but both are great colors for the 10 minutes they are clean after washing. Orange will be a paint to sample and needs to be submitted sooner rather than later. Honestly, you have listed my top three colors so I think you would be fine with any of the three.

    Thanks folks, nice orange boats, for my TT, I want something more special so I guess RS orange is the way to go, and I have seen a Riviera blue TT, what about this against the orange?

    Orange looks great...Wanted to go that route myself but couldn't wait the year and a half time frame that I was quoted for paint to sample back in March...I did however end up going with the cocoa interior and glad I did...IMO you cant go wrong with any of those options.

    I love the new 997 FL color "cream white",
    it's also available as standard color for the 2009 tt.
    Nice combo may be cream white/carrera red

    I think you should get a Cab, go Guards/Beige/Black Top, drive it about 500 miles, then sell it to me.

    If the car is a keeper I would stay away from trendy colors that will look dated in a couple years. Maybe white or black.

    Re: Orange/White/Black ? 2009 Turbo!

    Just my opinion here as this is obviously a matter of personal preference. In the RS, orange is mixed with the huge rear wing that is black, the decals that are black, and the wheels that tend to be black (exactly like the Techart Turbo that Stradale posts above--but this means more $$$ and even so it still doesn't look that great with this car).
    In the Turbo, to my eyes, orange does not look right. First, it's "too much" orange , especially since the rear wing is also orange. Second, this is not an aggressive looking car like the RS; color and car simply don't "fit."
    My vote is black/natural, cocoa/white, black/black. If you like cocoa, white and cocoa is an exquisite combination; I've seen it a few times and my heart always skips a beat or two when I see it.
    Good luck and have fun ordering your car.

    Thanks. I was first to order an 09 at my local dealership and I backed out due to PDK unavailable and didn't remember any orange. I guess I didn't consider paint to sample. That orange would definitely look good. Gloss black Champion wheels.
