The fact that a Porsche owner is in love with silver is hardly surprising, but what can you do when you adore such a color, but would also love to see another shade on your Neunelfer? Well, the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 sitting in front of you delivers an awesome example to this question.
This Paint to Sample example of the rear-engined machine showcases the customization possibilities offered by the rear-engined hero.

And since we kicked off this story with a silver focus, we'll start with these bits. The color is used for the wheels (we're actually talking sating aluminum), which hold banana-shade calipers, signaling the presence of PCCB (Porsche Carbon Ceramic) hardware.

Then we have the inner graphics of the headlights, with this 911 packing the optional all-LED front light clusters.

The shade has also found its way inside this Gen 2 GT3, where it is featured on the decorative elements of the full bucket seats (as always, the carbon seat backs are a delight), as well as for the contrasting stitching.

Of course, we must also mention the main hue of the car, namely Dark Sea Blue. This is an uber-balanced shade, which steers clear of the classic black or white theme, but still allows the machine it covers to play the understated card that has defined the Porsche crest ever since its birth.

The carbon-ceramic brakes and the bucket seats might have one believe that this Porcha is all about circuit assets. Nevertheless, the interior shot, which you can check out using the swipe feature of the Instagram post below, reveals that this car features the optional six-speed manual.

Speaking of which, many of the PTS 991.2-generation GT3s we've shown you lately came in three-pedal form, which only shows how dedicated the Porsche clientele is when it comes to staying in full control of the driving experience.


 

Here is the first known PTS Dark Sea Blue (Meerblau A5G) 991.2 GT3 from @gisringhausen. The build features a manual, PCCBs, buckets, satin aluminum wheels, and silver stitching on the inside. Gorgeous car.
