Everything I'm seeing, including the real 918 pictures, seems to indicate a much bluer silver. Perhaps the new Polar Silver??

Hard to say without seeing it in person, but I would say Black or Blue. Grey would lack the contrast and could appear "muddy" with the bluer silvers.

I'm not 100% certain but if you look at this picture, it appears to have more of a brown hue (left hand side in the shade). It's hard with these silvers to be certain but I had a Polar Silver which has the blue hue and GT Silver appears lighter to me from seeing it in person...

As I mentioned before, it is virtually impossible to tell from a single or just a few photographs. What you are seeing might well be the overall blue cast on the picture. If you rebalance based on what should be pretty neutral white (the circled areas), then I'd say it could even be Platinum Silver. It all depends on exposure, white balance and surroundings (sunlight, shade, blue sky, trees, buildings, etc.).

For instance, look at these two shots, taken at the same time, same location, same camera (iPhone, which is full auto), just at different angles:

Would you think that's the same car if you didn't see the pictures together?

This post here shows Platinum and GT next to each other:

Just look at how hard it would be to say which is which if they weren't next to each other!

Chanclodo point taken. Until we see samples at the dealership, it is hard to say what Silver it is. There are currently only 2 Silver options on the GT3, Rhodium and GT Silver, so I suspect it's one or the other. I chose it to be Rhodium

Guess I need to select one of the other colours for the GT3 to be safe...

Absolutely. I just mentioned Platinum because when I was in your shoes a bit over a year ago, choosing between GT and Platinum, on a not-yet-existing car, that's what I learned

This is extremely confusing, the configurator indicates a more blue silver. The Photos attached of the 918 are of the same color with different lighting, exposure and so forth? I really liked the old Polar Silver...
