So, with 2024 fast approaching, are you wondering what color suits the 997 turbo best? What does the color of a car have to do with the approaching year?

Well, I can't vote for Black, since it's not on the ballot above, so I'll go with the color I like best on these cars but lack the cojones to drive myself: Speed Yellow!!!

Yeah, this is not about which you would or wouldn't buy. Its more about the colour you like best. Personally, I love the speed yellow on a 997TT too. ( sorry I missed Black from the list)....I voted for GT silver, and my car is Carerra white

This poll should have an honor system caveat, you can't pick the color of the car you own as your favorite, even if it is.

No idea of the answer to this. Most/all colors outside of black do a decent job of showing the curves of the car.

I voted GT silver as thats my car colour but I think it is my favorite (although its hard to say without going over all the colours in person with different lighting). I did almost purchase a blue car but I dont remember the colour code. Its colour profile changed a lot depending on lighting conditions from almost black to a solid blue in the sun. I thought this was my favorite colour until I saw the pics in the ad for the 09 6 speed GT silver I ended up purchasing. When I saw the first picture all that went through my head was CGT. I believe this was the launch colour of the CGT and honestly thats all I could think of when I saw the first photo of my current car.

Love the colour!

My former car (now owned by another forum member) was my answer also.

I’m partial to Basalt Black not only because it looks great, it’s also a well know fact that Basalt Black 997TTs happen to be the fastest🤣. Since thats the color of my car, my vote is a close tie between Speed Yellow and Guards Red. These are two colors to which I typically don’t gravitate, but I think they look fantastic on the 997TT! In the end, I voted Guards Red. In all honesty, with this platform I don’t think there is a bad color in the lineup 👍🏻

There's a reason Porsche made so many in black, because it simply looks the best
