Nice find AC! Could it be Sport Classic grey? Looks more a tad more neutral than fashion grey to me. And perhaps a little darker than Grigio campovolo?
I have learned Sport Classic grey will be available for PTS whenever the window is open next, which is awesome news! So maybe this one squeaked through too in Sport Classic grey. Unclear why it does not appear on the list. I am not sure that other 918-approved colours are available--but it seems like that is not the case, at least from my interpretation of the answer to my question.
Almost there!!!!!!!!! Starting to loose sleep. James and the GMG team already have my money so everything will be ready when the car arrives. A week at gmg. A few days vacation there to pick her up. And then back to New York.
FOR THE RECORD: my unicorn RS first miles driven will be on the track with the gmg team.
So the whole garage queen thing will be put to bed immediately. Break in?? Never heard of it! Just some fresh oil and a car wash after a track day. That's how you break a car in. Lol. Only live once.
Ps this post will come back to haunt me if I sell her.
Let me know when you are in town, I'll buy you a beer if you let me check the car out and bring out my 997 RS unicorn. GMG is 15 minutes from my place in OC. Going out to Thermal with GMG to shakedown the car?
Yes sir. Thermal is it. I'll of course reach out when my trip is set in stone and the beer is on me!!!
Cool, just shoot me a PM when you got the travel plans set in stone. Thermal is a nice track, you should also track your RS at Buttonwillow and/or Chuckwalla too if you have the time.
Same RS. One exterior color. Three different photos of same RS
which seems to show three different 'colors'. Which once again
proves that you can't rely on photographs to evaluate a color
(varies too much depending on camera lenses, filters, light, etc).
You need to see a color in person to truly decide if you like it!
I think it's impossible to determine the actual color of this RS after
seeing these three photos of the same car!
A repost from another thread on this 991 gt3 forum. But it gives
us an opportunity to discuss the differences between 'Arrow Blue'
and 'Maritime Blue' and document it in reference threads:

Here is 'Arrow Blue' as PAG recently agreed to do it for a 918 Spyder customer:

I think on closer analysis, Scott, you might conclude that 'Maritime Blue'
& 'Arrow Blue' are NOT very similar. 'Maritime' has a tendency to turn
from 'dark blue' to 'medium blue' to 'lavender' in the most unique of ways!

From the link it looks like some type of grey.
I'm sure Eduardo can decode the build.
No, you can't tell the exact color from what
is posted at the link. I have always found
curious (& odd) that PAG/PCNA & their dealers
do not list the actual color name of a PTS
vehicle in either the Monroney sticker or in
the basic information found in their dealer's
websites. For example, here is what you see
when you click on the OP's link:

All Porsche needs to do is to continue to list the following:
But also add the PTS color name in parenthesis.
e.g. (Fashion Grey) or (Sport Classic Grey)
or whatever the PTS color is by the name that PAG
has approved for the hue after its feasibility study
was concluded.

Why the damn mystery? How many times have we wondered
what the color is of a PTS new car listed at a P-dealer? And
how many dealers have often mischaracterized a color of their
PTS cars? In fact, it was McKenna two years ago that insisted
in calling a 991 4S coupe they received 'Signal Orange' when
that color has not been approved yet for PTS. The car was in
fact 'Signal Yellow'!
