Three of the RHD drive RSs that came to the UK in 1973 were Signal Yellow so yes it was an RS colour. Lovely colour.

Cheers - I think its too late as PTS has been canned


Not fair as Nic Cage got his

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 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

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

Mermaid said:

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

Just some nice ones would have been a start

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.

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

UV + Black wheels + PCCB = :splumpf:

He's looks lost in there

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

Anyone heard in the last day or so about a complete cancellation of PTS for the RS? Some rumours coming from a Rennteam forum to that effect. Hope not ALL PTS cancelled

Not too bothered as alll the PTS colours that I wanted were not on the list

Aubergine
Arrow Blue
Metallic Slate Grey
Tangerine/Blood Orange

Not great

Sorry, can't find anymore pics sadly. But, Photoshop or not - it looks FANBLOODYTASTIC!

Sorry but I think it looks sh*t . I know mint green is supposed to be cool - but really !!!

Thats not mint.

MTR - I stand corrected - you are of course right - either way I think both cols are vile

[RSVP911]

LAVA ; its a bl**by strange colour - I have now seen it 3 times and in some lights it looks properly orange , in others more red - either way it is basically what I'd describe as a flat jelly Bean colour - However , I think I finally "get it" - I now really like it - I think it will become a proper classic RS colour - I'm swapping from White to Lava - its official (well it is today anyway !) The images below are all original un molested (taken on an iPhone) The RS has been detailed by paddy328 and IMHO looks amazing , the others are of a GTS - this is unprepared and un polished - stickers literally just removed - this shows how different Lava can look :

I think you must of been on the booze last night. Have you forgotten how faded Lava Orange looks in sun light. It will always look like a 20 year old guards red. It has no depth or body. Having said that white is pretty boring too. I really want to pop over to Stuttgart and ask the plonker who gave us this limited choice WHY? He will probably answer "because I can"

No , honestly , it isn't - it's just a flat retro jelly bean colour - I didn't get it at first but I think it's "right" for the RS - it's like fungus - it grows on you

Richard - having seen both White and Lava in the flesh I would definitely choose the WHITE....

Having said that you're the lucky one with the decision to make....

Thanks Chris - I'll see how I feel once I've driven the Lava around PEC

[RSVP911]

Yes, that looks awesome.

I think Lava orange looks odd, especially on the gts above

White is superb on the RS but only with the silver wheels.

This is a manipulated photo of Lava , not red

[RSVP911]

5517 said:

Just to avoid confusion its actually red not orange on the interior parts you mention.
It looks sensational and white is the perfect colour for the 991 GT3RS.
Much more pleasing than any PTS.

I think it's Lava trim , belts & door pulls - don't think you can spec red

DOH

Thank you and apologies to OP.

No probs - wing decal ummm , there's a thought ..........

Hi Chris - as an owner of a white car I get this POV and I may well do just that - will decide in a few weeks - and if my spec locks before driving the PEC car in Lava then so be it - I'll let fate play its part - it's like colour Russian roulette - if however I don't like Lava after this and the spec is still open I'll swap to White , or GTSM or Ultraviolet - lucky for me PTS has been pulled or I'd be running around in circles forever - too much choice for my tiny little mind to deal with

chrisABP said:

At least the addition of a Sharkwerks bypass will be a lot easier decision...!

Wow : you're good

GR GT2RS said:

That all I have at the moment will have more once I have collected her and the side decals are fitted.
Currently is still in its delivery state with suspension blocks in and plastic trims yet to be fitted

Looks great - worth the angst

[RSVP911]

GR GT2RS said:

Yes you know the full story was a long haul and added six months to the delivery time.
Lets be honest the car looks great in any colour. Its all a matter of personal preference.
Note the wheel colour as recommended by you. Interior has the red stitching too which works with the Guards red dials, and seat belts etc.
