Which Colour

Hi Guys,

Im planning to purchase a new PDK Cayman or Boxster, which colour is best on those two cars?

Is the porsche special colour like GT Silver or Cream White worth the option? or just go for normal colour?

I have white, black and silve on my mind, but i still cant decide which.

Please share some suggestions.

Thank you

J

Everyone knows yellow is fastest. Personally I cannot justify $3000+ for a special color but I might consider the extra cost colors that are ~$700 more.

This is a model of the car I have. Everyone comments on how nice the sand beige interior goes with the speed yellow exterior. Of course my top it not tan but black. Porsche does not make a tan top for the Box.

The beige interior does match yellow very nicely. I also agree with you for the price you pay for the special colour, Yellow is quiet nice and sporty feeling, but its a bit eye catch on the road.... allure people want to race you

If I were to order an expensive paint option it would be Atlas Gray Metallic. I really love that color.

If money was no object I would do paint to sample to get a Lamborghini dark grey. and get some light tan/khaki cream almost white leather to sample interior with deviated stitching in dark grey.

Somehow I ended up with an orange car though, so don't take my word for it!

My dad just got a CaymanS in red and it looks absolutely fantastic. I'm even slightly jealous.

My choice for colors would be red, yellow, and black in that order.

I like white for the 911 but I dont like it as much on the cayman/boxster.

the gt silver is a really nice colour but i am not sure i would order it new.

the Boxster s looks pretty good in white - the red accents of the exterior really set it off imo. - remember though 19000rpm is right!

the midnight blue looks really good in these cars as well.
