Thank you.

Sadly, no. However, I've been in regular contact with Melissa at Porsche Exclusive, and while there are no concrete answers yet, it's definitely going to be a subset of PTS colors. They're likely to look at the most requested PTS colors, and target those for a quicky feasibility review on the new materials. That's my conclusion, anyway.

They have my entire list of favorites, along with my first choice (Maritime Blue) for the GT3 RS.

Unfortunately, my multiple requests for Yellow deviated stitching + Yellow seat belts will remain rejected. I'll have to settle for Silver + Silver to go with Maritime.

I really love the orange stitching, orange inserts, and orange seat belts, though. I wish I didn't want Maritime Blue so much.

(Side note: What I actually wanted was Chartreuse. That color won't make the cut, as it's been in feasibility review since we submitted it last September.)

Sitting with a commish # in V070 status right now. Just waiting for an alloc to come by and convert to V200.
Until you are V200, you cannot sleep easy. I have been V70 for two weeks. If you aren't V200 now, you missed the first allocation round, as did I....the next round is a month to 6 weeks away according to my dealer. The #1 on their list got a build V200 last week or so. I am now number 1 on the list. He said 2 are firm, but until I know, I worry.

Yup, I cannot +1 this any harder. I know the feeling exactly.

I'd say 4-6 weeks away for the next round of allocs sounds about right. These allocs would likely be for Jan - March builds, meaning April - June/July deliveries. I'm fine with that. Nice weather, post delivery.

Default 991 RS PTS Colors

My dealer sent me this list stating this is approved PTS list for 991 RS.
NO CHARTRUSE! Can't verify for sure, but Voodoo Blue would look awesome!

How about Verde Ithica (Lambo)

That's just part of the existing PTS list from Porsche, not the RS list.

Ajimoto: As others have stated, we don't think your dealer is correct is stating these are the 991 gt3 RS approved colors. He has just passed on to you the end part of a PTS list for the 991/981/Panamera regularly published by Porsche. However, I did noticed something interesting in the portion of the PTS list you posted! It includes a color - 'Summer Yellow' code z21 - which is not included in the last known PTS we have here at Rennlist (provided to us by GreenLantern) and dated 1/21/2015.



So your dealer might have stumbled into a more recent PTS list than the January 2015 one we know of. Can you ask your dealer the date of that PTS list and post here the complete list for us? Thanks!

***************

For your information, the photo you provided re: 'Verde Ithaca' .2 997 gt3 RS 4.0 LE looks to me photoshopped.




I don't remember Porsche ever doing a .2 gt3 RS 4.0 LE in that color. And we know that 'Verde Ithaca' (or as PAG calls it 'Verde Itaca') was rejected by PAG for the 991 a while back. Interestingly, while 'Verde Ithaca' is a metallic color at Lamborghini, the PTS 'Verde Itaca' request that was eventually rejected at PAG was tested as a solid color and not as a metallic!

Received same list today from dealer with explanation that several, but definitely not all in feasibility stage. Some or none to be announced in a month. Only for late builds. Paint chips for current colors ship next month.
