Car Forum / Porsche / Porsche Cars / March 2006Best Car color
each car...i think, has their Own Best color. example: Ferrari's look Best with the hot red, and tan interior - any other color is very iffy. Lambo Gallardo's look Best in Yellow, period. the "right" color all depends on the car's personality. just like government secret service cars...it would seem awkward if they were red. look better, best in black. best color for gt2, and turbo's: i think is arctic silver....or anything close to metallic in nature as for carreras and boxsters: solids look better than metallics > each car...i think, has their Own Best color. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > just like government secret service cars...it would seem awkward if they > were red. look better, best in black. Once again, it depends on era's as well... In the 1980's there were no green cars. Porsche used chocolate brown as their standard interior color in the 70's and early 80's. While red is a great color...all modern Porsches look terrible in it. Yellow is just a terrible color no matter who wears it. > each car...i think, has their Own Best color. > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > just like government secret service cars...it would seem awkward if they > were red. look better, best in black. : each car...i think, has their Own Best color. big, classic Cadillac convertibles look good red with white interior, ditto Pontiac GTO convertibles, red with black interior. <Pontiac GTO convertibles> Ahhh yes, the GTO...I want a '67 done in blue (a darker shade), with the white interior and top. > : each car...i think, has their Own Best color. > > big, classic Cadillac convertibles look good red with white interior, > ditto > Pontiac GTO convertibles, red with black interior. : <Pontiac GTO convertibles> : : Ahhh yes, the GTO...I want a '67 done in blue (a darker shade), with the : white interior and top. here's another: Jaguar XK150 roadster, dark green paint/green leather interior (and brookland-screens) It depends a lot in what colour the car was first introduced and what colours was used on the brochures of the manufacturer. That colour will stick.

This is why most British sports cars are shown in green, German in white (though Mercedes uses silver), and Italy uses red. Luxury cars are usually presented in silver or black. But the way the company guides color most is in the cars they give to the press for road testing. Going by current press coverage, you'd think the BMW Z4 M Roadster only came in red, and the new Z4 coupe only in blue. epbrown -- "Everybody wants a normal life and a cool car; most people will settle for the car."

It is said that in Mercedes' glory days Alf Neubauer liked 'bare metal' (rather than 'silver'), because it saved a couple of pounds. Hth, Fred Klingener >It is said that in Mercedes' glory days Alf Neubauer liked 'bare metal' >(rather than 'silver'), because it saved a couple of pounds. Yep, the first 'Silver Arrows' were bare metal. After the nickname stuck, MBZ ran with it and used silver on their racers. -- "Everybody wants a normal life and a cool car; most people will settle for the car."

I'm pretty sure though that the RS Porsches, which supposedly inspired the Boxster, were painted. Fred Klingener I think my sister hit it right: 911's look best in black, red or white. Period! That said, if you want to hide from the cops get silver. Yet another good color, and blends right in with the pavement. Because of their shape, 911's show a lot of color coming down the road towards you. |
