Your Ultimate 911 GT3 Touring?

[martinbo]

Jet Black Metallic is a banker on a 911 and way more appropriate on a GT3 Touring than Guards Red. The unwritten rule is quite simple; if you want flashy colours go regular GT3. But when opting for a Touring, bright colours are at odds with the persona of the model. As are black rims.

So, Jet Black with silver rims and window beading - can’t go wrong. Satin platinum wheels also work well but for Touring, personally I’d go the classic route with silver rims. It’s similar when approaching a GTS to spec - black rims are de rigueur.

In December, Porsche JHB had a Jet Black Metallic Touring with gold wheels and the subtle central stripe decal in gold to match. So, akin to JPS livery in a way and it looked epic.

You missed the brief Jimmy

I was actually pertaining to @Swissbob's comment implying that he'd look for something "flashier".

I've always been more into elegant, darker, glossy metallic tones on 911's. Or various shades of gunmetal or the vintage "Fischsilber" hues.

Problem with Jet black, that approximately 80% of all 911s are jet black, in the summer you can see them everywhere.

I think a GT3 touring should have a color which is a little bit special.

The GT silver is nice as well BTW, this color is timeless.

Black 911s are not common in SA. Black cars in general aren't because of the perception of black cars and hot climates.
I don't know if this is the case in Queensland.

Gentian blue is great but the best colour on a 911 I've seen is a dark metallic purple on an S/T. Heck - it was special.
