Plenty of nice Porsches. Here's a couple PTS specials.
Lightning Green and LO w white accents.




White looks nice as contrast on the orange, but wheels where a bit much for me





Lightning Green looked outstanding in person





Track worthy, but might b for a collector





Bright, but works well

The LO does not do it for me with the white accents BUT the Birch??? green is no doubt a winner.

Wow that green car looks great. It looks a bit different from birch to me but maybe it's all the black pieces on the RS. That decal really balances it out as well.

Oaktown, I don't suppose you could confirm the colour?

Where is that want raccoon trying to reach through the chain link fence picture.

If you go to Switzerland make sure you have the proper paperwork, permit. The fine is hefty without.

Very nice balance between the green and the black.

To me it seems like the darker colors work better with silver uprights and wheels. And the lighter colors like white and this looks great with black wheels and uprights. Would love to see a black RS with silver wheels and uprights?

Thanks Oaktown.

A week ago no one knew that custom stitching and piping were possible and now we see it on a car. It's a bit frustrating. I guess you don't know until you try.

From what Oaktown remembers of name he was told, plus the discussion we had earlier last week when the photos
of a car similar/same first surfaced at Rennlist (Nov 8th),

See post #1001
https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...gt3-rs-67.html

the color is most likely ''Light Green' / 'Birch Green' / 'Lichtgrün'. All are the names for the same Porsche color, code '253'.
'Lichtgrün', when it was approved for PTS in the 991/981 many years ago (circa 2012), was translated to 'Light Green' in
English because they forgot that the historical Porsche name for that hue is 'Birch Green'.






***********

What I find fascinating & curious about Oaktown report on this sighting
is his photo of the interior...





This is not the same interior as what we originally saw reported on Nov 8th.
That interior had deviated stitching (which turned out to be 'Racing Yellow'
by some accounts) on the seats:



This one sports 'Acid Green' piping on the seats. So it's kind of puzzling.
We are either seeing two different RS's or they have switched the interiors
for some reason. We do know that piping in a few different colors is now an
option available on the RS, so we knew the possibility existed. It's just that
we have never seen it before on a 991...until now.

Saludos,
Eduardo
