Side by side R231 & Magno White R232

Went to leave the golf course today and saw this Magno White SL63 in the parking lot. First Magno White I’ve seen in person and actually like it a lot. Had to take a couple of shots next to my ‘13 R231 for comparison. Only bad part is that I hope this guy is not a member here or I’m going to have to pick a different color when I order mine. Would hate to be known as “the other guy with a White SL”.

Sold 06 CLS500. SL550 09. SL550 2013. Own C6 Corvette heavily customized garage queen 2005.
Great pics and so cool to actually see them side by side as I also have the white 550. Impressive, have to say. The 63/55 back is so Porsche when you see it close up like that and completely re-designed.

The Moonlight White Magno SL is frickin gorgeous! There's one I've been seeing around town and its stunning.

Nice shot - probably would have picked two different parking spots.

Definitely like the painted A-pillars and see why they improve the look of the silhouette...

Have no idea if the owner is handicapped or not. Just pulled in next to him for 2 minutes to take the photo. I will say that I did not see a tag hanging from the mirror. We have a number of members that have handicap tags and still play pretty well. Hope I’m able to still play when I finally need a handicap tag.

Exactly why I’ve passed on the two Black SL55’s that have been available here. Damn near every car here every day is either black or dark grey. A couple of silver SL’s, a white SLK and my SL do stick out of the crowd. Oh and one Red Vette.

Smart move, black looks good on the SL, but it hides the lines too much in my opinion. Every other color, even the grays look much better in my opinion. If you really want a striking color, I suggest you go for Starling Blue or Patagonia Red, they are gorgeous!

Don't all golf players have "a handicap" ........either it being 36 or 12 or.......... 😎
