I just swapped my lava orange early production allocation (July I believe) for a PTS allocation which would probably push it back to November 😭
Happy with the decision though as I was not entirely convinced of my colour choice.
I'm leaning strongly towards the classic Slate Grey 6601 (it was between that and carbon steel metallic from vw, voodoo blue from the FJ, the lambo grigio telesto and blu caelum). I prefer slate grey because I think it looks both more elegant and menacing at the same time which suits the new RS.
What do you guys think of the choice for the RS? And what do you think of that combined with lava orange seat inserts, belts and cage? I wouldn't normally do that but it might give a nice contrast to the dark, more conservative exterior.
Eduardo thanks for the advice.
Ordered my Gt3 Rs
226 Chartreuse first choice,hopefully available.
If not 253 Lichtgrun it is.
Ended up going with black wheels.

Hope they let you know if 'Chartreuse/Lindgrün' has been approved in the past few weeks...otherwise, 'Lichtgrün/Birch Green' is one hell of a consolation prize PTS!

Sadly, 226 Chartreuse is *still* not yet approved. Granted, my inquiry is a few weeks old, so perhaps we will be pleasantly surprised.
Not enough time has passed, to be honest. I only submitted it for feasibility review in September. Usually takes 10 - 18 months, based on what I've been told.

Mohammed:
Besides 'Slate Grey', color code 615:
I would also recommend 'Slate Grey', color code Y97:
Just thought I'd point out, Suzy's post has been edited to correct the paint code in the photo below is actually 615 (not Y97). So apparently both of these cars in Slate grey are 615.

We have two PTS 'slate grey' from Porsche, each with a different color number.
So there is more to this story that meets the eye. And my eye see the one in Suzy's photo as a different hue than the 615 991 Turbo S in the photo. This needs to be explored by folks seriously interested in ordering a PTS 'slate grey' 991. Ask 'Porsche Exclusive' in Germany to clarify and perhaps provide photos that might show the differences between the two color codes. So caveat lector.
I just checked my order too and my dealer and I settled on 615 in the end (with PCNAs help) not Y97. Car won't arrive until November, so will see then what it looks like!

Apparently someone at PCNA (and/or Exclusive) knows something more about this. I'm curious if the two colours are different enough (sounds like it), and if so which one most closely approximates the historic colour on McQueen's famous 1970 991S.

My guess is that Steve's 911S would be Color Code 615 since that was a MY1969/1970 Porsche color!
Eduardo or Henry would you mind rattling off the four blue samples on the 3rd row down. I'm looking at the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th samples. I'm guessing 5 = Voodoo and 7 = Sapphire Blue?? Many thanks,
