Are Spyders Becoming Extinct At OPCs!

Someone should do this.

Minus the armrests, handbrake and gear lever which are horrible!!!
 
That Cayman R in viper looks like my kinda car if only for sale. I would love to buy it or px my GT3 with it. Either that or a 981 Cayman me thinks in a good colour of course. Looks forward to the GTS or R in future not sure how long I can wait though. Needed next season for lots of Porsche fun.
 
I don't know how long green Caymans are gonna get the limelight (excuse the pun!) on here. But as long as it is making Cliff yearn for a mid-engined porka, i'll post a couple more[:D]

ORIGINAL: VITESSE Interesting subject, the psychology of car colours-is it peer pressure or what that spreads the rumour that certain colours won't sell in the future-I think nothing is more boring than a parade of light silver cars-however one of ours is Stein Grau,one Guards Red & the BMW Dark Blue. Unfortunately ,it works on me because IF I were ever to afford a Ferrari-I'd want a red one. Does Porsche have Colour Clinics to establish new car colours when it brings out the next models?
I think Porsche has a pretty regular palette for new car launches and then occassionally tries something new. Just off the top of my head: Boxster Spyder - white 997 Carrera GTS - white 991 GT3 - white 997 GT3 RS 4.0 - white Carrera 4GTS - coupe yellow, cabriolet aqua blue 997 turbo - don't remember, I think silver 991 turbo - don't remember, I think silver 997 GT2 RS - I think silver (forgettable) Panamera GTS - red 997 Speedster - mexico? blue 997 Sport Classic - i'll call it grey Cayman R - Peridot green So, generally white, yellow, silver, some red, some blue I reckon. When they try something new I wonder how they come to choose it...

Crikey Prof - We could form a team and go on EGG HEADS with your memory/knowledge! I know who would get my vote for Captain[;) My recent memory is of the Silverstone Classic. Porsche held a competition and the lucky winners won (or, got the privilege to buy) the 911 991 Club Coupe. The following day two were side by side on the grid for the 911x911 parade lap The photo below shows the only two right hand drive ones in the world together. Unlikely to ever see two right hand ones together again since one was won by a UK guy and the other someone in Hong Kong who had flown across to join the event and parade.

As you can see these cars were in the only colour available - Green!
Cheers John[:)]. Yeah the green Club Coupe is a distintive car. This Martini liveried 991 caught my eye at Silverstone Classic, but I think the Club Coupe would be much more popular with actual buyers than the Martini Stripes. Maybe someone would have it on a GT3. I quite like it.

I'd have my 997 GT3RS in dark grey with red - ever since I drove one at the PEC. Tom even has the (genuine Porsche) poster of it on his bedroom wall too! Loving the 911V car, looks a credit to its previous owner ;-)

If that car isn't in someone's Christmas stocking by close of business 24/12/13 I will be very surprised[:D]

Spotless. A credit to its former owner[;)]. I think the Carrera Classic wheel goes better with the Spyder than the Turbo II. I expect they will find someone who will like it as is. But without a shadow of a doubt, so many people can't be wrong, that the Spyder wheel is signature item.

The signature wheel indeed but would you go for the Cayman R shiny chrome look that is standard paint finish on all 981/991's today or would you go for the factory black gloss look if you were refurbing the standard silver grey Spyder wheel

Neither. New satin platinum. Matches the plastic intake surrounds and hides brake dust. Very similar on Liz's Abarth, works well .

I am leaning heavily towards this look [:D]

So the 2 biggest cost items are missing, and would cost well over 10k to add back in. Buckets are a much bigger issue for me than the wheels due to the cost. Ps mine looks like that under it also as do many I would guess.

For me i'd go with the black again. I just think it's a more distinctive look. The rim ends up 3 distinctive colours black, silver and grey.

Likewise with the very similar 981 wheel. The inner grey goes well with this blue car.

and likewise on the Spyder

Black looks better on the R as all the trim is black even the headlights. Black not so good on the Spyder imo due to silver trim , so I would go shiny silver or the new platinum.
