997/S in white?

Anyone seen one in white or does anyone have any scans of a white 997/S out in the wild so to speak.

I was looking at some Porsche mags last night and there were a couple of shots of original 911's in white. It looked terrific, and really "clean". It had me wondering whether white might be an interesting alternative to silver/gray.

Thoughts? What color interior would work best? Any good scans of a white 997 to share?

i like white, my brother is getting his C2S later this year with White with sample to color leather interior in Red. I think it would look good. Although white has a lower resale value.

all my friends know how much i love white cars.
I want to reserve my judgement until i see it in person.
after seeing the techart I am all in for silver now. but i know my brother will have a white one and I will always get to drive that.

So in a nut shell, i have the best of both worlds.
I love white cars, they look incredibly good.

Raja

ps. i am looking for a white s2000 right now as weekend car.

LOL in Pass and Weisz? My friend ordered that car and decided to get the black one from Chambers because he could not wait any longer!! I was there with him ordering the white S! It is supposed to have more options.Since he cancelled his order and the car was already being built, they minimized the options but the color was too late to change
