Are you the kind of aficionado who can easily choose between the various hues found inside an M&M's bag? But what if we take this color battle to the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 level?
This is precisely what the image we have here does, with this pic basically asking us to choose between two striking shades of the 500 hp Neunelfer.

We're talking about Guards Red, which happened to be the launch color of the Gen 2 GT3 and Miami Blue, a hue that can easily make a standard Carrera stand out like few other cars.

It's worth noting that this Zuffenhausen hue battle doesn't follow the usual pattern set for GT Division models. As some of you know, these special rear-engined machines split Porschephilles in two main camps.

First of all, have those who prefer crazy hues, since these allow the extrovert aerodynamic packages of the said 911s to stand out. Then there are the Porsche fans who would rather go for tame colors, thus allowing the understated visual aura that connects the 991.2 model to its predecessor to shine even stronger.

Returning to the new GT3, it shouldn't take long until we get to show you the first real-world images of the Touring Package.

We'll remind you that we're talking about a no-cost option package that is built around a rear wing delete - instead of the generous aero element adorning the posterior of the standard GT3, if we might call it so, the TP gets a Gurney flap on top of the active wing borrowed from the Carrera models.

As for the cabin, the most important change is the the Alcantara finish of the GT3 is replaced with leather.

Oh, and let's not forget the fact that the 2018 Porsche 911 GT3 Touring Package can only be ordered with a manual tranny. So your left foot can jump for joy.
