I can tell you, getting those seats in that custom color will cost you a lot of $$$. I think that interior leather alone will cost around 20-25K in CXX.
Been loaded with my new job lately (and just enough time to keep PTSRS going). The Jet Green Metallic (Z6H) RS was picked up by the owner in July. Definitely one of the most expensive builds thus far, though I wasn't informed what the number was. The interior is "Zeder" leather to sample, and has wood applications in lieu of carbon fiber. I will see if I can get more info and shots from my source.
That was 'Henry' Porsche!
But I thought he said any
color as long as it's a 'Green'!

Great shot of the 'greens'...thanks for sharing.
I have read that there were apparently metallic versions of Viper Green made. Supposedly one was with bronze flakes while the other more like silver flakes. Have you heard of these versions?
I'm looking for the proper paint code or year(s) that the Viper Green metallic versions were available. I've tried to search on both Paint Scratch and Paint Ref to no avail.

Very interesting. That leather is quite something--the "black leather only" rule for GT cars clearly has an exception here. I'm not sure I get the decision to put in wood trim, but it'll definitely be a unique and memorable RS. Looking forward to more photos from you. Looks like a ROW car--any idea which country?

Aha--thanks! Must be a bigwig close to the company! (Maybe even the family itself, given their love of all things dark green?)
Do you know more about the embroidered logo on the headrests (is it the usual "GT3RS")? The placement of the embroidery looks much lower than the usual position of the "GT3RS" as seen in most cars too.

I imagine it has the Porsche crest above the GT3RS like the 918.

As most know, I am not a big fan of 'Metallics' so I don't
follow them as closely as 'Solid/Uni' historic paint colors.
There might have been a 'Viper Green Metallic', color code 249, in the late seventies. This might have been
the one with 'Bronze' metallic flakes:

And supposedly there was a 'Viper Green Metallic' in
the 1976 914 too, but that had color code 96N.
This might be the one with 'Silver' metallic flakes:
Once they start going 'Metallic', it changes the
whole look of the color or hue. So there is little
in common with the historic 'Viper Green', color
code 225:

PAG currently offers to non-metallic (solid/uni)
'Slate Grey' colors on their approved list.
And here is what Melissa Witek wrote when
she sent out the photo above to a fellow
Rennlister who forwarded it to me:

The Metallic version of 'Slate Grey', last
seen on the 997 models, was tested &
rejected for the 991/981.
