Zusammengebaut Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Hello, back in January, I have seen the amazing LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS (42056) in Nuremberg at the International Toy Fair as a prototype. I wrote an article (in English) about the mystery car: A camouflage version in black and white (stickers). So, I was wondering: Which one looks better, the prototype or the final orange version? What do you think? Have a nice day Andres Edited April 26, 2016 by Jim Removed links
nerdsforprez Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) As has been pointed out only about a cajillion times the "camo" version was and never is a serious color for the car. They are prints only used to mask the car before a final unveiling. Fairly common even in the real world for supercars. Although it may be still fun to wonder about which looks better, not sure there is much sense in it given that it was never a serious contender for color in the first place.

DrJB Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 I used to work for the automotive (in Detroit area) and every now and then you'd see these prototypes on the road. Not only they had camo stickers, but also some parts were 'upholstered' to modify the outer shape. I can tell you this, it was rather ugly/distracting to see big zebras on 4 wheels, sharing the road with you.
Didumos69 Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) I think the camouflage was only presented to add to the buzz of a new model coming, just as with real cars. And given the number of posts on this forum TLG is doing a good job, for that matter. But to come back to the actual question I would like to continue the comparison with real cars: I would never buy a car that has been blurred with stickers that distract from its actual appearance and details.

Jim Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 There's no need for another topic about the Porsche. I will lock this topic.
