Can you not look at one on the configurator?

I'm off to the launch at Hatfield tomorrow - I'll post shots. No idea what colours they'll have, but I've only seen yellow, white and red in press shots.

Could try friendly OPCs to have a look. I believe they've had their cars for a week or two now.

I went to have a look at some. ( black as it happens)

Very 911 now imo.

With this trend by all the manufactures to have all the fronts looking the same, and the rear looking the same as a Boxster.
It's not the wow facter I hoped it was going to be, going to need strong colours to look it's best.
Blacks and dark colours will not bring out the best, hence why the launch colour was yellow I guess.

Black would be the last colour for me on this car.

^I thought it was a great-looking car. I didn't see black but I know what you mean about dark colours. I saw Agate Grey and it didn't look as good as a Box in that colour. Red was stunning.

Exactly what I was thinking when I saw 'black' in the title, while it's nice, I would expect the red/white/yellow/silver to be (imho) more of an eye-catcher. That said, if OPC Aberdeen are watching and want to loan me a black one for a few days.... smile

Looks as if they've got electric folding mirrors unless the driver pulled them in manually.

I went to see one on Friday at my OPC, they had Agate and Red. They were parked out the back amongst a pile of 991s, it was really hard to spot them! Lovely in the flesh, even better than the pics.

I'm going for Aqua blue with Carrera Classic wheels (or maybe Agate after seeing it in the flesh!).

Looks like it might've just been replaced with Sapphire Blue.

I guess the upside of it being so damn ugly is Clarkson won't be able to bh about the design department at Porsche AG being lazy anymore.

Excellent!

Thank you very much.I should take delivery of my Black 2.7 later this month. The Configurator always distorts certain proportions....can't beat a picture of the real thing!!

Thank you all for the feedback.
