Default Ultraviolet GT3 RS - Limited?

hey guys,

I am a new member and picking up my UV 991 RS next week.

I keep being told that it's severely limited in production, much more rare than the other 3 colours.

is this true? How limited?

Are you in the US? Were you on a wait list?

The UV is the rarest of the standard colors.

Welcome to RL. Wise choice. Makes no difference what color. Enjoy the beast when it arrives.

I believe, for amount of GT3 RS Porsche delivered, lava orange>ultraviolet>white>GT silver. There was a production issue for Ultraviolet, and it was not available to order for a while, but Porsche fixed it and they are making as many as it's ordered.

So Ultraviolet is definitely not rare or limited, only PTS ones are rare.

I'm sure you'll forget about the premium once you're behind the wheel, enjoy your new toy! Definitely my favorite of the stock colors.

For North America I've got recorded:

35% Lava
23% White
15% UV
15% Silver
12% PTS

There are a few more UV than Silver and I would expect the PTS percentage to decrease once they stop building them.

I guess another point that I was told was that UV was only available on the RS, no other 911 model.

is that true?

Loess: Where are you numbers from?

LO and UV were optional colors.

Silver and white were standard.

I think Black was a PTS.

Total in country 991GT3RS are approximately 600 according to my sources.

Info from build sheets.

Waxer, I think your number is close. I'm around 700 built to date for the US with up to 50 or so possibly missing. I count the 3 extra colors as PTS because Porsche does.

(outside of the 911, UV is available as PTS, but only for the macan--strange, but true)
