Great color in my opinion. Thanks for sharing.

And there was a RS 3.8 of the same color for sale nearby recently. I wonder if this was the same person who ordered both.

Back at the factory today with Autobahn Adventures and we stopped by the exclusive department and found this car there. Not sure if it is Birch Green or not. Anyone know.

Yes, it has been there for a while. Rennlister <3mph from Canada took a photo of it earlier this summer and was discussed on this forum. It's PTS 'Lichtgrün' /'Birch Green'. Has seat inlays in deviating color leather.

Cool. Looks like we both took the same photo! I wonder whether it's normal to leave such a highly optioned car there so long. I was there in May. Perhaps some lucky PAG exec is in line to get this one--is that what happens to these show cars anyway? It would be cool if they let a porsche fan help design the next one (I assume they build these once in a while). Maybe Eduardo would be the right man for that job?!

The PTS 'Lichtgrün' /'Birch Green' Cabriolet that I photographed at 'Porsche Exclusive' in Zuffenhausen back in april of 2013 (see first photo) was apparently sold shortly afterward. Rennlister JUPJAI from Canada inquired about it in the Fall of 2013 and was told it was taken to an auto show in France & sold. Yet last spring he found it listed at a Porsche Zentrum in Germany for sale...and it had been registered in Germany.

The 'Viper Green' Turbo S cabriolet that I posted last summer (photo #2, with Sascha) was the equivalent demo for 'Porsche Exclusive' in the West Coast of the US. Sascha Glaeser told me recently that PCNA had received an offer for it they couldn't refuse...and was meant to be sold right after it's appearance at the Porsche Zentrum last August at the Quail!

Sascha's former 'Porsche Exclusive' demo's on the West Coast included a 'Racing Yellow' 991S Coupe (Photo #3) that he had in calendar year 2012 and a late 997.2 Turbo S Cabriolet in 2011 (photo #4). All were sold after their demo duties for a period of time. Similarly, Melissa Witek has had several 'Porsche Exclusive' demos in the US's East Coast (she was formerly based in NYC, now transferred to Atlanta). Melissa is very vocal in noting that her specs for 'Porsche Exclusive' options don't resemble anything like those selected by Sascha! So there was a little rivalry in their demo 'Porsche Exclusive' show cars! Sascha apparently has a passion for 'Black' leather interiors with 'Platinum Grey' or 'Pebble Grey' seat inserts! I called it the 'Orca-look'...and that for me is an as-yet-to-be-acquired taste! (Photo #5 in the 991S and Photo #6 in the Turbo S cab). Sascha demonstrated better judgement during his 997 period! His demo 997.2 cab in photo #4 had a beautiful 'Natural Brown/Cocoa' interior, which was a precursor to our current 'Espresso/Cognac' two tone offering! That was truly a great interior!

'Fett Chance'..as they say in Stuttgart! Interestingly, Sascha admitted to me that he considered ordering the '14 Turbo S demo in 'Signal Green' but thought some would think he was following my lead, since that is my favorite PTS color! So my advocacy for PTS and 'Porsche Exclusive' at Rennlist have made some impact on them - although they claim they never read my posts - and I am living rent-free somewhere in the back of his head!

PS By the way, I want to salute my 'fellow' Canadians Rennlisters (I am an honorary member!) for winning the 991 gt3 PTS lottery! As a percentage of total builds per country sales given the demise of PTS in late MY2015 production, I think you guys might have your Southern neighbor beat re: PTS custom orders!

Thanks. I didn't expect such a fascinating and detailed reply--it was a very enlightening and enjoyable read. Given your passion and extensive knowledge of the subject matter I am now convinced of your perfect suitability for designing an exclusive demo car if they ever let that happen. I think it would be a great opportunity to connect with their customer and fan base. You get my vote for sure!! (PAG I hope you're eavesdropping.)

What an awful color! White is sooo much better.

As much as I enjoy my GT3, I am still disappointed I didn't get my PTS lichtgrun (aka Birch Green).

kyrocks

Apparently there is one available in CA. It is impossible to capture the real color in pictures.

Dealer has a Birch Green GT3? Agree it's impossible to get the true color in a photo.
