I'd might go for black that's really dark purple in the dark and like Vesuvius aubergine in bright sunlight. Hides discolorong clear bra just as well..
The picture on that model box is straight off the 991 GT3RS Brochure IMO. Its a PAG sanctioned marketing shot. the model was likely created as a dealer special for the launch which I assume was meant to be earlier this year in Paris originally.
The photos of the 991 GT3 being photographed at Estroil. The pictures surfaced well before the final config of the car was known/seen by the public. These date back mid 2013 IIRC. My belief is they photograph the interior "garage" shots, pit lane shots and some "action shots" with these real images then they play with CGI etc

All you colorblind GR guys stick together, how do you like hour green CalIpers and grey Seat belts?

Was at my dealer yesterday. Interest in the RS is growing very quickly now and a number of 991 GT3 owners are among those interested. Anyone who did not get on the list with a deposit long ago will be out of luck I'm afraid.

In the months and weeks leading up to Geneva there were mules driven conspicuously all over San Francisco, constant rumors about specs (with RWS as a late revelation).
Deja vu all over again.

Sorry you miss understand me.
Yes this is minichamps 1:43. Just like 1:43rd 991 GT3 Minichamps make limited edition runs for the Porsche Dealers network to sell through the Porsche T-Equipment catalogue. These usually have a silver paper cover over the factory box with the Porsche script and a market picture of the car on them. I have a collection of 120+ x 1:18 Porsche models from Exoto, AA, Minichamps etc and at least 5 of them (manily AA and Exoto) have the same sleeve over the box (for example 1:12 997.1 GT3RS).
It appears to me that the picture in the background is printed on a sliver paper backing which in turn I believe is the outer marketing sleeve for a 1:143 scale model that was designed to be sold through the Tequipment catalogue....
Just a wild guess however :-)

RS section apart from the 991 GT3 is class warfare.
