Love the Riviera .2 RS that Sharkwerks had for a few years….think there were four in the US in that spec. Doesn’t have the OEM wheels on it in that spec but they were Gulf Orange.

Not a 997.2 but looks like RB.

It’s not far off 997.2 gt3 RS money, my bet is your money would be safer in the RS than this one.

It will sell, but to a limited audience.
It’s probably 30/40k off a reasonable condition gen2 RS, and if you find a PTS RS that’ll be 50/70k off. It’s relative.
https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/15081410

Spot on 30k spread between these two.

Never seen a pts rs 997 gen 2.
Huge assumptions on the condition of both here though. It’s not like either is going to be new, and that 997.2 RS in the grey with red decals is the most sought after colour. Having seen these sell recently for nearer 200k (and over, one at Porsche sold and one at well known dealer that was factory fresh) it makes you wonder what this one might be hiding in its history…

Did you buy that from Silverstone ? It was in their showroom for quite a while,

I’ll be honest I think the Mint Green 997.2 GT3 that’s in the UK works a bit better. Not sure why just think the 997 suits brighter colours better.

I think Mint is just wicked in any 911 guise
I got the 991 from pal who had it from Silverstone

We all have different tastes….would be boring if we all drove silver/grey/white/black cars !!! My 991.2 GT3 is Lava Orange….not many were as daft as me to spec it.

Wasn't lava the most common choice? UV? I'm sure someone posted up numbers before that showed they were the most common choices as everyone sort to be different.

Back on topic , the days when carbon and other options weren't quite so expensive.

That was the 991.1 RS, and yes I think they were. UV is an awesome colour. Mine is a 991.2 GT3,
