Yeah, looks good in Yellow - interesting Lambo has been Yellow, R8 has been yellow.

Maybe they'll surprise us with a Yellow RS option?

Yeah, had an orange tint to it, and my office screen stinks - but I thought it was similar to signal yellow.

Nope. It looked like they rolled the Yellow GT4 out for the line up at the end but no RS.

The MY2016 shown was certainly 'Orange', probably 'Solar Orange', 'Papaya' or perhaps a new formulation to be offered exclusively on its debut. Here is a first generation R8 in 'Solar Orange':



The yellow that Audi has offered as PTS on the R8 and other models is called 'Imola Yellow':



and it's not as vibrant, rich & deep as Porsche's historic/vintage 'Signal Yellow', seen here on the only .2 997 gt3 RS done in that color for a UK client:

I'm not praying to the thing, my life isn't stopping or changing, this isn't taking priority over anything........... So just some plain Jane excitement from all the boys with time and money invested in this car and thread is fully warranted and should be enjoyed by all.

Ill say "its just a car" after i wreck it and im unharmed. Right now its a little more than that.
We're on the same page than. Except I don't do alarm clocks unless its track day and I don't do NY traffic.

If its not included I'm gonna stick it on somewhere and be a proper exhibitionist.

I like 4.0, unless its a flat 8 5.0.

Correct. The "4.0" nomenclature is on a alloy pressed decal a fixed to the CF panel under the engine lid. This is what the slide show meant. The exterior of the car for 100% certain will have a vinyl type decal with "GT3RS" in smaller font than 997 GT3 font just like with earlier iterations (996 GT3RS. 997 GT3RS etc). It will not be known as 4.0RS.

I cannot take credit for setting this thread up I am sorry. Peter (TRAKCAR) started this thread :-)
I appoint you vice executive co creator.

Porsche sure is doing a good job of keeping this cover under wraps, we basically didn't learn **** in a year and they are milking it for all its worth.

The only surprise worth waiting THIS LONG for could be a flat 8 at this point.

Still looking for tickets to Geneva but it may not be there, I probably cant get into the circle jerk section anyway and end up buying a AMG GTS or do something else stupid..

Worth the wait and gives them some time to copy the Chevy PDR system.

And the rear might as well be an exact copy of the Jag F-Type.
