You say Carrera- I say Carrara

Turns out we're both right - except when we're talking the "white" color on Porsche....

Found this out recently:

"Carrara is a city in the Massa Carrara province of Tuscany, Italy, famous for the white or blue-gray marble quarried there. It is on the Lavensa river, some 60 miles west northwest of Florence."

- hence the color name spelled '"Carrara" white -

"Porsche uses the Carrera name on its top models to honor the company's success in the Carrera Panamericana race".

White - regardless of the spelling:

Thanks for the info.

Quick story: I learned about the "carrara white" a while back when a member on another forum, who loves porsches, ordered his Ferrari Scuderia in carrara white...what a beauty!

The SD package looks fantastic in white!
Yours should be the new white, cooler and whiter than Carrara white.
The warmer and greyish Carrara white is no longer avaliable.
