Peter, have him generate a customer demand and then he can put in your order and get your commision number etc. Maybe he is lazy.

I think they could pull that off. Maybe the wing and frunk hood in visible CF. Anyway, I think that is the most expensive paint on the planet...

silverrules

LMAO, looks like Justin Bieber car.

Better than the gold chrome 458 I saw on eBay yesterday.....

Thanks. I sent e-mail. Lets hope I'm not getting stiffed, besides price.

silverrules

The person who puts in the order should know this but he could be new? so let's give the benefit of the doubt. Good luck and keep us posted Peter.

One of the longest Porsche sales guys at the same dealership, 30 years or something.
He did very good for me in 2010, so lets hope it happens again.

I'll be sure to pipe in when I know more... Another white RS I guess

Charge over $200K for this car and only give you three freaking colors. Unbelievable.

rockitman

I hear ya...however color is not driving my purchase decision....

Going back to their roots

I wonder how many Porsche Motorsports buyers ask for PTS ? Seems like if you wanted PTS, you should have ordered a GT3. There are some fine examples out there. I think wanting PTS on a Porsche Motorsport derived street/track focused 911 goes against the grain of what an RS is all about...No ?

I am almost certain you can get a wrap that looks just like that.

I wholeheartedly (but respectfully) disagree. As good as the RS is (will be) on track, it is still first and foremost a street car. Is it in the "spirit" of a track car, absolutely. Does it do well on track, yes. But it most definitely is not a RACE car. Aspects of it may be homologated for motorsport such as the front fenders or maybe the decklid, uprights and wing. But this is a car for the street, useable on the track, but made to feel like a race car while still allowing the creature comforts of a street car. If it were a true Porsche Motorsports car, even if street legal, they'd have gone the extra mile to make it a true lightweight. They'd have taken out all of the sound deadening, used lightweight Perlon carpets, they'd have thrown out those extremely heavy door panels in favor of a very simple lightweight cover. Don't even get me started on the "Motorsport derived" door pulls. They are a nod to the past when door pulls were much lighter than door handles. But even Porsche recognizes that's no longer the case, because even Porsche's 991 CUP cars don't use pull straps for opening their doors, they use actual door handles, but uses pull straps in order to close the door. The center console would have been thrown out the window and simplified to save more weight. The frunk would have been stripped of all the plastic pieces that make it look so neat and tidy and left it pretty much bare metal with maybe a little bit of Perlon carpeting to keep any luggage from getting scratched up. Not to mention all the other things that make this car so liveable on the street such as heated mirrors, seats etc. If this car was truly meant for those focused on being able to drive their track car to and from the track, they could have easily have shed another 200-400 lbs off of it's weight. But it would have been at the cost of the ability to live with it as a daily or commonly driven car. The RS certainly is a formidable trackday HPDE car, but that's where the ties to Porsche Motorsport end. Again, it's clearly a street car that you can take to the track and not a track car that you can drive on the street, there is a difference. Why didn't they go that route? I assume because there's very little market for it. Most people aren't going to spend $175k for a car that wont be enjoyable on the street, but you could still drive to the track. I would and I'm sure others would. But I think that once faced with it in reality, many of those who say they would, will end up passing on it and say it's too much like a cup car. So for a street car that is in the $200k range, asking for the ability to choose from Porsche's plethora of available color range, to me that's not a large request. If it was truly a Porsche Motorsport car that bridged the gap between the GT3 and the Cup car, then it would only come in one color, White. Because the car would most likely be wrapped in the car's sponsor colors. I'd love to see Porsche truly do a "Cup" car that's streetable for the hardcore, but I just don't think it'll ever happen because it's appeal would only be to collectors and a minority few. People who are hardcore track rats would say, if you're gonna go that far, you might as well have a cup car and people who want the creature comforts will just buy the GT3. in my opinion the RS is really more a GT3 than cup car. But she wears the motorsport dress very well and she's a knockout. Truly one of the best looking cars I've ever seen. But it would be nice to choose what color it is rather than subscribe to Henry Ford's mantra of You can have one in any color you like, as long as it's black, (actually black would have been a nice option...). ok, rant over
