Great! You are green!!



...This color!! Eduardo knows this was our choice for our Macan PTS, which unfortunately was another "swing and miss" with PAG! Ended up with a Carmine Macan GTS, which looks stunning and as long as my current PTS order goes through all will be forgiven.
Olive isn't a 'Skittles' color, so for now I will stick with my first choice, but it's tempting!!



You're welcome, thanks for the update!!



LOL!!!!

List is updated!

Thanks Andre for the update. My penalty was 3 month's push to July delivery but family is happier with MB. The GT3RS.2 will definitely be green. I say do it. what's another 3 months

Hoping for a .2GT3RS allocation!!!. If I get PTS even better. On my bucket list is a Euro delivery wtih a new RS.
Looked at all the PTS colors. Alot of blues, alot of greens. Oslo is a rare and unusal blue though. When it comes down to it I think the Gulf orange is too washed out. The Lava is amoung my favorites and suits these cars perfectly. I would like do the .2GT3RS in Lava again or maybe thinking of black gray PTS with double yellow or red stripe over the top and matching belts and calipers. .

You would think so, but if you look at scheduled production dates on the list, that doesn't appear to be the case, except for maybe Gelgrun...

Slate Grey looks pretty cool.

I wonder what the odds that they give a "manual" option on the RS. I know some think it is counter to what they want out of the RS but i can see them making the argument since it is going to be produced alongside the .2 GT3

That would really drive up demand

Yes, PTS is available on the GT3 Touring spec. I just ordered mine in Slate Grey.

Quick follow up to the above to make sure I understand. Say I wanted to do:
  • Full leather ($3,480)
  • CXX Houndstooth Seat Inserts ($3,555)
  • Colored (e.g. Lava/RY) Stitch ($3,500) as it adds "Interior Trim Package with Decorative Stitching and Embroidery in Deviated Thread"
If the custom full seat tailoring option alone is $8K, one can really look at it as a not-so-bad deal, as the latter too above alone are $7K+ options, so might as well just go all-out on the seats and further add piping, modify the headrests, add any 911 offered colored leather, etc. etc.

Is it fair to assume that option 1 above (Full leather) doesn't change from $3,480 if say I wanted as part of the $8K CXX interior/seat upcharge to do for example Agate (or Espresso) leather? While $8K can be a large amount to swallow, if one is looking to do a couple of seemingly 'smallish' a-la-carte options (inserts + stitching), seems to me there is a case to do the full Monty, no? Or am I trying to find the arbitrage in the 'unarbitrage-able' Porsche slippery slope game? LOL

Pretty sure nothing including price changes on the full leather option when you CXX the seats.

The only arbitrage I have ever heard of was that the leather to sample option included deviated stitching in the price making it less expensive than ordering full leather and full stitching on a non-GT 911. Unfortunately, Porsche does not have leather to sample as an option on GT cars (I would have ordered it to get black natural leather).

Somewhat relatedly, exclusive told me I could get any leather I wanted for $8800 on the seats, not just any 911 leather. I know there is a GT3RS with panamera cedar natural leather on the seats (that one also got the full leather to sample treatment — dash, door panels etc. through CXX). Can’t hurt to ask if that is still true. Something like natural brown, ascot brown etc. would be a nice touch on the seats, especially on a touring.

Jimmy, all of my cleaning ladies confirmed the RS will be PDK only. So odds of a manual option would be very close to 0.
