    Hexagon in the UK is listing this CGT in their inventory, described as just one of two built in white. Quite a striking appearance with the lobster interior. Asking price is just short of 300,000 British pounds sterling = $470,000 (USD). That seems quite a bit above the U.S. market, but perhaps the asking price is reflecting the rare color. I have no financial or other interest in this car. Just passing along the info on this unusual color combo.

    Gorgeous car. Love the color combo.

    I still think Porsche should have named this car the new GT1.... "Carrara GT" just doesn't suit it.

    I agree 1000% on this. That way it would have been attached to their Lemans project

    I wonder why the spoiler is partially deployed. normally it's flush. when it's up, it's way up.
    I normally dont like the teracotta color interior but it looks good on that car!

    It's a photo shoot thing so that you see it but it doesn't detract.

    I seem to recall Champion Porsche in Florida had a white CGT. Several of their late production CGT models had the spokes on the wheels partially painted to match the exterior color of the car. There was a 'Guards Red' example CGT done that way to.

    I've heard that 5 were made in white and that might be only in the US.
    Either way, white looks great. It also commands a nice premium

    So...the car is left-hand drive and it's in the US? I'm wondering why the sales agent is in the UK, and the quoted price is in pounds.

    And by the way, the car really is breathtaking in this color combination.

    It's definitely a euro car, lacking USDOT side markers, a quick google search says that Porsche only made 3 rhd CGTs, not sure how correct that is though.

    You may be shedding some light on this; yet the car does seem to have the side marker lights - the wrap-around tail lights (for the rear) and look closly between the door and front fender well along the crease (for the front). What do you think?

    I'm in lust with this white CGT. I wonder: Even swap for a 959? Hmmmmmm........

    But, Nick, really, rally lights on a 959? OK, they might be a cool retro-Dakar Rally look, but 'ya call those things lights? Pish pish...... Now, these (below) are LIGHTS! ;-)

    Black, red, white and yellow CGT's normally sell for a $25K premium for the non-silver color option. I met an owner of a white car at Pebble from Germany ordered that way by him from new. Some thing may be wrong with the spoiler in the white car as it has not retracted all the way down. How many have you seen with red calipers like my car? $7 or 8$ option when the car was new...

    US and Euro cars (usually) have the same rear side markers, only the US cars (usually) have the front, and the ones between the door and the front fender don't count.

    I circled the US spec side marker that is missing from the car in question.
