As a colour Racing Yellow appears to be making a comeback.

Both Leeds Nov 23 550 miler sold on Wednesday and Prestons March 24 450 miler 4RS sold yesterday both at full AP. By coincidence almost identical spec WP cars with part painting to bonnet.

The yellow rims must have been the clincher lol.
Racing yellow is mega wink

They are breeding.....

Certain colours look good on gt4rs and I don’t think yellow is one of them especially with carbon bits on the frunk

Bizarrely with WP less exposed bonnet and wing carbon costs you £1527 more than more exposed carbon. In theory the partial carbon effect helps to break up bright colours better.

Less is more....

IMO I don’t think any colour works with the carbon stripes on frunk , all carbon different matter.
Out of all the colour combos bar pts this is my favourite (less is more)

Reminds me of that Liam Neeson film 'The Grey'.

That car has been punted around since last year started at £170k at Mid Sussex.

Stealth grey, imho the bright colours with carbon stripes looks to Halfords , looks ok with full carbon frunk. Many of the options (coloured/black wheels etc) look to “Essex” and reminds me of Saturday nights in the 90s of the go fast Halfords boys in the Astras and Novas on Southend seafront! Hence why not a fan of the above.
The Gt4 on the other hand looks good in yellows reds etc with silver or platinum wheels not the gold or black.
Of course colours/wheels are all personal but some stand the test of time better, hence green can be fashionable now but hard to shift in a few years time, I love crayon and Artic but yet again may not be so great in a few years time.
A lot of people don’t like GR but it is a great classic Porsche colour

That’s because the Halfords look are wannabes. The 4RS is the actual thing wink

It’s just some of the drivers now are wannabes, bought to pose down to the shops/pub etc sadly this is a lot of Gt products bought since the 997 era.
It’s like I love the 4RS but won’t buy one as it’s a waste for purely road use hence I put my name down for a SRS instead but even then the Boxster 4.0gts is all you need for road use only and at half the list price.

Looks well good combo and Gentian quite rare.

Biggest issue is paying £2.5k on a new RS for a standard but metallic colour such as Gentian.

Naa, the 4RS was designed for road and track, which is what I use it for. SRS is a faf.

Gt products have always been designed as a car you can drive to the track and home again , but it’s nice to hear some owners are using as intended and not sitting under a cover and only coming out on sunny days for a run out to cars and coffee!
Oh and the SRS roof is not a faf had same on the 987 version, it’s a soft top after all .

I’m not convinced it is a waist

Everyone is different, with different tolerances. I’ve put on about 7k/year on my (981) GT4 (95% fun stuff only). I’d been interested in a 4RS, provided I could live with suspension setup - from mix accounts who knows, until I try one. I get it might be tiring on longer trips but so is another greater drivers car - Lotus Elise.
