Just speculation, but I think the color behaves similarly to Racing Yellow. Yesterday my car looked like both of the actual photos. In dawn and dusk it was much darker, and a very rich yellow and at noon with the sun out it was very bright yellow with a slight green tint.

The UV model I purchase has the same behavior, but I don't think they're 100% accurate representations either. I think the actual UV photos are both accurate and it'll change significantly based on the lighting conditions.

I don't have pictures of it exactly, but this is pretty close to how it looked during the day.

Article quotes loosely translated via Google....

"PDK and ABS - tuning work on perfectionist level'


"With full tank , the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS weighs test car just 1460 kg - ie 40 kg more than promised by the factory."


"The 911 GT3 RS is supposed to be with its output level to 80 percent to the cost of the GT3 Cup race car tuned."


Rough translation...
"Much like the Porsche race cars carrying the RS a pit speed limiter . For licensing reasons must of not working at full capacity."


'... But even at half-throttle , in the first three gears , selectable between 40 and 90 km / h the RS a race car like concert burns so on - also outside , between the roundabout and crosswalks."


"The Porsche 911 GT3 RS manages the wow factor on the first date . The 500 hp four- liter six-cylinder goes like hell."

Any way to get the steering wheel stripe in Lava orange instead of the yellow shown in the video. It will make me faster at the track.

.... a lot of praise and nothing new that Porsche A.P. already said - only comment I found new / interesting is that he said the speed of the engine spooling up is very fast / different from other Porsches..... let's wait for the more detailled review's over next weeks....

''If there were a Nobel Prize for sound, it would probably go to Weisach....In fact, following an acoustic inferno that is reminiscent of the eruption of a volcano.''

''Sweaty palms, trembling knees and heart palpitation come as standard''

''Visually, the RS has never been so close to the 911 make tuned cup cars because of its monstrous beer bar''

''The Boxer turns almost as fast as a turbine''

At the new Porsche Center here in Atlanta they had both Lava Orange and UV panels. We even took them outside for a comparison, LO was nice but I really liked the UV. UV with black rims would be killer
