Another Canadian PTS (RLer kkabba's GT4 in Toronto). I actually like mint green on an audacious GT car, and I think this could be just outstanding on an RS. Compared to all the white, grey, silver, and black cars in the background, this one grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go! (this, coming from a grey car owner ) I think my next PTS (if I'm so lucky) will have to be something bright!

No question very different but not for me. As soon as I had seen this, I think of my favourite ice cream flavour, mint chocolate. Thanks for posting this, Daniel.

I like this more than I thought I would, the inside shots look quite good and subtle even, not blown out like the exterior pics.
Almost there!!!!!!!!! Starting to loose sleep. James and the GMG team already have my money so everything will be ready when the car arrives. A week at gmg. A few days vacation there to pick her up. And then back to New York.
FOR THE RECORD: my unicorn RS first miles driven will be on the track with the gmg team.
So the whole garage queen thing will be put to bed immediately. Break in?? Never heard of it! Just some fresh oil and a car wash after a track day. That's how you break a car in. Lol. Only live once.
Ps this post will come back to haunt me if I sell her.
Cage, harnesses, exhaust, graphics, clear wrap, led side markers, some other Odds and ends. Should be fun. Signal green RS with PCCB. Cage is yellow to match the calipers and yellow belts. So I'm going for the ugly green/yellow look. Cheers

Wow, that looks great! It's definitely out there, but I think mint green suits the personality of the GT cars.

So your car is being shipped to the west coast? Mine should be in NY before yours arrives there if you want to come have a look. It's green and orange though, including orange decals...
The curious appearance of 'Sport Classic Grey' in the PTS & what it could signify...
We received news this week that up to 3 folks at Rennlist will be getting
their 981 Spyders in 'Sport Classic Grey'. Here is the photo of the first
one belonging to 997sc in Germany:
'Sport Classic Grey' was an 'exclusive' color introduced for the
Limited Edition '911 Sport Classic' that PAG brought out in ROW
back in MY2010.
And that exact color was never allowed to be duplicated via PTS,
regardless how many times it was requested by other customers,
until a lucky VIP 918 Spyder owner got the approval in 2015!
The curious thing about this story is that these MY2016 981s in
'Sport Classic Grey' were approved in late Summer/early Fall 2015
by PAG for PTS even thought that color does NOT yet appear on
the official PAG-distributed 'approved' PTS list. The last such list
circulated among dealers by PAG is dated Nov. 17th, 2015.
So I asked some of the principals that broke the story here on
Rennlist how 'Sport Classic Grey' for PTS came about. And I
have been given the following two explanations for it by them:
First from Gerald in Germany who was recently at Zuffenhausen
& he is in the process of taking shortly delivery of his own 'Signal
Green' 981 Spyder:

produced Signal green Spyder. They went with me to the Exclusive
Department (next to the pickup room) to check if me Spyder is there
for some custom tailoring. But it has been still in the finish line and
should come to Exclusive early next week. The guys were very friendly
and showed me some other Exclusive and PTS cars.The Classic Grey
Spyder was one of them.The paper in the window showed the name
of the color "Classic Grey" but i was not allowed to take a foto of it
because some private information on it (VIN etc.). I asked him that
the color is not on the PTS list and he told me that it has been locked
about 5 years and opened in late summer/fall last year. The color
looks very nice and has not that shade of beige like Fashion Grey.

And this second one from Donavan, who is soon to take delivery
his 'Sport Classic Grey' 981 Spyder in the United States:

Arrow, Grigio Campovolo and Sport Classic Grey with
Porsche Exclusive. I was informed that Sport Classic
Grey is not on the official PTS list, and is only available
if a customer specifically requests it directly through
the Porsche Exclusive. So far I know of 3 PTS Sport
Classic Grey 981 Spyders, 2 in Europe and mine. I'm
sure there are others out there.

So what to make of this unorthodox manner in which 'Sport Classic Grey'
has finally been allowed to be ordered via PTS at Porsche? Why didn't the
'Porsche Exclusive' staff in Europe & the US informed everyone else that
this color was available? And why isn't this once-exclusive color included
in the official approved PTS list since it's indeed available to any customer?
****
While you ponder the troubling answers to these questions, let me throw
out an interesting thought that came to me as to what this development
could also signify for the PTS program:
Could perhaps every other color tested & approved for the VIP 918
customers, of which 'Sport Classic Grey' was but one example, be
also available for PTS if any customer demands it from PAG today?
Here is the list of PTS colors that were approved for the 918 Spyder
according to one of our Rennlister (Larryf) who is in the know:
And we also know of these other PTS colors done for the 918 Spyder:
****
So dear Rennlisters & all Porsche customers that are interested in PTS.
Caveat emptor! There is a bit of 'organized chaos' right now in the
PTS program as it's being run by Porsche. You can't even rely on
the official approved PTS list (even if you can get your hands or eyes
on it since it's now officially classified as 'For Internal Use Only -
Confidential') to be certain of all the colors that PAG will allow SOME
to do on the upcoming 982 & 991.2 as well as the existing PTS orders
already approved for 981 Spyders, 991 gt3 RS and Cayman gt4s!
Thus, it would not surprise me if we see some other 'Sport Classic Grey'
in a .1 991 gt3 RS and/or .1 981 Cayman gt4 since production of PTS
for those vehicles is just getting under way. And then, what about the
possibility of some 'RS Orange / 8C6' (retired after MY2010), or true
'Acid Green', or 'Pure Blue' (formerly exclusive to the 997 Speedster)?
Inquiring minds want to know!
For years now, we have been trying to unravel the mystery of PTS via
these threads to make it more understandable & transparent to Porsche
customers & enthusiasts the world over. And, if the number of views
these threads have received & the PM's sent to me are an indication
of the interest & progress we have made in unraveling the mysteries
of PTS at Porsche, this development sadly throws us backwards a few
steps!
