Any idea of the color on the “green” GTS? Is it metallic?

Yes, it was birch green. Not my taste but the color has incredible pop.

Yes, it looks really dark indoors but I believe it is PTS Dark Sea Blue (AKA meerblau). It is a flat color with gloss finish, no metallic. The wheels are the same color but flat vs gloss finish.

I think wheels and color are personal preference. I am not a fan of the Carbon wheels. I much prefer both the standard GT wheel and the BBS mag wheel look to the Carbon. They are rare tho. That was the only set I saw on the whole trip.

please keep the pictures coming! this is the best thread on RL in months....I'm sick of the "PDK vs manual" and "will my GT3 be worth millions in 10 years?" threads

You sir were in rarefied company on your trip (Porsche executives and race car drivers), amazing experience. Thanks for sharing, the pictures are incredible. Care to share some of your build options (exterior color, options etc) on your MY2019 GT2RS? Any pictures from the test track?

Thanks for sharing your experience. I saw that Meerblau GT3 as well when I visited Exclusive last month. Were they fine with you taking pictures? I was sorely tempted to but held back.

Porsche feels those cars are legally compliant but on some level violate the spirit of the GT4 class (race gearboxes, etc). I was told it will use a "new platform" for homologation. I was also told there will be both a "Clubsport" and "GT4" version as in the past.
That sounds like doublespeak. Either there will be or there won't.

And in regards to violating the spirit it sounds like Porsche was caught with their pants down.

This was the most interesting part of your post. What did you mean by this? There will be no 718 GT4? There are a ton of spy pics on the GT4 and Spyder so I don't get your comment here.
