The question is, will you be able to identify it? Little hint, it's pretty "special"

This thing looks like something batman would drive, too cool

Bet it would look killer with a flat matte wrap

wouldn't that.. kind of.. defeat the purpose of offering your firstborn child to get a PTS VW golf color though?.. couldn't you just flat black a regular old non-PTS RS?

That was 'Henry' Porsche!
But I thought he said any
color as long as it's a 'Green'!

I dont know kindof thought it be cool.

I'd have to see it on a sample, thought about doing it on my PTS, and might do it down the road if I get tired of the color.

Had the grey/red GT3rs last go around on my 997.2, just like everyone else....

I gladly paid the extra 5k for my PTS, so i had something special.

That looks great, stunning purple. One of the few metallic colors that works on the RS, along with the VW grey.

Viola is one of my favorites. Better than UV.
