PTS is finished now, you can only have the 4 standard colours and AFAIK Red, Black or Yellow at PTS prices.

You can't have UV for post Nov build

I expect Porsche are inundated/overwhelmed with PTS requests in 2015, and do wonder if this will result in a pricing hike for PTS for future models

The small one in the centre is Miami-Blue...the other colors are: Maritime, Riviera, Vodoo, Mexico and Vipergreen.



Thanks - what order are the blue sin ?

I think on the RS they would have had less requests if the standard colours had been "right"

Agree, they should have offered more of the classics i.e black, GR.

Just some nice ones would have been a start

Congratulations SRVP911 on starting this very useful thread and to all the contributors along the way.
With some influence from this I have completed the revised spec of my GT3RS after the disappointment of a categorical no to Guards Red from Germany. This will be my first Porsche of the last 10 not to be in Guards Red although of course we have other different coloured cars in the family garage. In the picture above I finally saw a look that works for me just the two tones black and white show on the exterior and incorporating the side decals. For me this looks sporty, demands your attention but is not a desperate "look at me". On the interior we have highlights of Orange which supports Porsche`s theme on this models launch but just couldn't go all the way for full Lava Orange interior or exterior. Added about every available extra as over specifying is unlikely to damaged the cars retained value in the future. So you might as well enjoy the extra bits. Thanks to you we have also sorted out the best wheels. The Platinum dark grey was not an option on my previous 997.2 RS so the pictures helped along with other contributors and comments on the standard GT3 wheels. Now we wait through the summer and early Autumn to a foggy cold day in November for collection. Seems along way away.

GR GT2RS... just a question re side decals.. I assume there are no official ones at this stage? Are you having some made up to mimic the 997 RS decal look? I do think entirely white looks good, but great with decals, just breaks up the plain white very nicely.

UV + Black wheels + PCCB = :splumpf:

^ That looks odd with the silver wing uprights.

Agreed. Going for antracite wheels and matching wing stays

Collars and cuffs should always match

The plan is just to put the 997.1 decals on the 991 - OPC says they will fit and they are orderable

He's looks lost in there

I only see Silver or Black wheel options with UV and no colour option for wing stays on the configurator. You'll get them painted?

A plan so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a weasel! I may have to look into that.

Thanks very much - not my plan , someone posted an image with it on and I stole the idea

Have Porsche not offered any decal options at all then, for the 991 GT3RS?

Were they a launch option on all previous generations?

No

They were standard on the prior RS's (not 964/993RS), but you could opt not to have them afaik.

Shame they haven't this time around, I especially loved the 996 in white/red or white/blue - such a cool combination
