This PTS color would be great on a 991 gt3 and/or RS!
PCNA's display cars arrived today at the Hyatt Regency in Monterey for Monday's Parade Concours. The most noticeable was this PTS 911 Turbo S Cabriolet with just about every option one can possibly order on a 991!
The PTS color looks to me like 'Viper' or 'Signal Green', although there is an off chance it could be 'RS Green'. I will find out and report back the exact color the moment I am able to talk to anyone from 'Porsche Exclusive' at the Parade.
Note that the exterior rear view mirrors and the top portion of the rear spoiler can be ordered in a deviating color (in this case 'Black'). This option is also available on the 991 & 981 models & has been around for a while. Yet few US customers are taking advantage of ordering it. It is not in the configurator. You need to ask 'Porsche Exclusive' for it and they'll quote you a price.
At least one of you with a MY2015 gt3 allocation needs to order his/her car in this terrific & historic early 911 color!

I think someone at Isringhausen has a viper green GT3 on order. At least that's what I was told. Great color.

Great color. Pass on the clear tail lights. You want your *** end looking good. Since this is the view most others will be seeing on the highways and byways.

colour is choice....
but too much in the way of contrasting/differing colours (red rear markers, clear rear lights, orange side indicators, black spokes, silver edging on wheels, yellow calipers) going on with this Turbo S.....for it to be appealing to eye....
might be better in flesh

I was at the dealer getting my Loaner washed and saw a Cayenne GTS in "Carmine Red" and then there was a Boxter next to it in "Guards Red". It was an interesting contrast. For the first time I saw the orange hue in the Guards Red. It is never apparent until you place next to the Carmine Red. In the end, I love Carmine Red. It is deep red. It is not Ruby red ect. To me it is that deep red that Ferrari has if you put another red coat on the Ferrari.- It was awesome looking if you like red.
I also got to is Metallic White on a Cayenne that they will be offering on the 2015 GT3. You really can not see the Metallic until you get up close. It you are getting White I would do the Metallic. But, only if it is modest, in terms as price, as an upgrade. If you ordered white you will not be disappointed that you missed Metallic White but if you had to choose between them both I would take the metallic but if it was a $3000 option - hell no. But for under a grand - why not.

The PTS 'green' Turbo S Cabrio at the Parade is 'Viper'. This was told to me by Sascha Glaeser on Monday. I am surprised 'Viper' has so much blue in it...well, maybe not so much after looking again at the photos I took of the official color samples kept by 'Porsche Exclusive' in Zuffenhausen last year!
Although remember what I always tell you - photos almost never capture the true color as seen by the human eye!

Not yet from the one ordered via Isringhausen. But this MY2014 was photographed in Austria. It's either 'Viper' or 'Signal Green'. No confirmation of the color yet...but it looks stunning which ever one it is!
