In my opinion; every one should agree on (1) PTS color and pool together and ask Porsche( very nicely and Professionally) if they can do it. If 100 people requested a color, together, I think they would consider it very much. I have seen the power of this forum. Agree on (1) PTS color and ask Porsche for ~$5000 upcharge to do it.

That's kind of counter to the point of PTS. People go PTS to get their own color. I personally want Fashion Grey for example. Instead, a group should get together that will all buy PTS and then go to Porsche. If you get 100 or more committed to buy PTS, you might have a chance.

I'm not a long term Porsche owner so I don't know how rigid or flexible they are but needing to beg Porsche to give another color option on basically a 200k car is ridiculous. I was livid over not getting PTS on my GT3 after waiting almost a year between order placed and receiving a car. If I can't get PTS on the RS, I'll probably pass. I'm sure there are other manufacturers that will paint a car in more than 3 colors for 200k.

The linkage between exterior color and stitching color is also stupid - GT silver with orange stitching would be cool, as would white. Its a pet hate of mine when manufacturers dictate exterior and interior color combinations.

If they have a color you really like in the 3 options, great! But at 175k base price, it's ridiculous to only have 3 options with a 4th option coming in 8 months. If it was a limited edition car, I'd understand, but it's not.

The 600 worldwide units 997.2 GT3 RS 4.0 eventually had PTS available when the window opened up for other 911's, and that produced numerous PTS examples that I'm in love with (including Voodoo Blue, Mexico Blue, Maritime Blue, Chartreuse, Pastel Orange).

if they offered signal or "Kermit" green I would go for that. Lava is for me for the current offerings. Purple seems like a throw away color. If it were metallic I might think differently...they should of offered green instead of that color. Silver doesn't do it for me on this car...maybe white as it would match nicely with my white Cayenne GTS.

It's not hard for them to solve. They just have to be willing to please their crazier customers; customers they created over time by offering customization options (PTS, Exclusive).

My bet is that most of the RSs will be ordered in Orange...probably like 60-70% of them. The GT4s have a must better color selection, including a non-PTS blue that I would buy.

Another reason why Lava Orange might be the most popular? There's no real good deviated stitching options for the other colors.
I don't want a White exterior with silver deviated stitching.
