997 turbo presentation evening

I attended an evening at Stratstone of Cheshire last night ,where they unveiled the 997 turbo and 997gt3.
They had 4 turbos..2 cobalt blue and a basalt black ,with an artic silver.All cars had black interiors.
The gt3 was in white and utterly stunning.THe turbos looked good though i thought the silver was not good..the blue is a gorgeous colour..and the car looks best in basalt.
I have taken some photos and will try to post them up later.

997tt colors

A number of us saw the silver/black and basalt black/terracotta 997tt's that PCNA had at a private showing in NYC. Silver looked plain and uninspiring - basalt black was fabulous (Ralph Lauren bought that particular b. black 997tt).

Personally I think "pure" black and cobalt blue are THE colors for the 997tt

Agree with Alan, I'm thinking black but I saw a pic of cobalt which was stunning on the 997TT. Do you guys think a cobalt car would be too in your face for a DD?
Black and silver kinda fade into the scenery, esp when a little dirty.

I too saw my first 'live' TT at my OPC tonight. Cobalt, looked great.
Front bumper looks a lot less weird for real than in photos, hey ?

Wow, cobalt looks stunning! I think this may be the first time seeing the 997TT in pictures and actually REALLY digging it! It looks alot more flowing. Now I'm really excited to see one in person!

Cobalt blue is definitely a head turner.

I like the front of the GT3 also, but the rear of the TT.

Hesham...as I told you I think for you the car to go will be the new 997 GT2 ...will look better than the Gt3 and it will overcome the Turbo
