This particular vehicle was assigned to & sold by
Porsche of Beverly Hills. It is perhaps the only
one in the series that was able to be modified
from the original standard 'Arena' specs to include
both Light Weight Buckets & PCCB. We only know
of another in the series with that combination -
the 'Fashion Grey' gt3 ordered by VIP '918 Anonymous'
if memory serves me right. Two 'Signal Green'
gt3s were modified by the dealers in time to
receive PCCB's, but not LWB. It speaks to the
influence that this So. CA dealership has with
PCNA that BH were able to achieve these changes
to the standard specs...which were not supposed
to be changed/modified by any dealer given the
'gift' allocation of a PTS gt3 by PCNA!

We first heard about the LWB on this car on
4-12-15 by Rennlister NYCone's post # 292:

That is when I started realizing this car was
unusually optioned...in relationship to the
other PTS gt3s done in this limited series!

To understand how most of the other nine
'Arena Red Metallics' gt3s came from factory,
please see this example of the one sold in
Nebraska:

Compare the standard options chosen for most of the other nine
'Arena Red' gt3s in the series with this one:


*
The other interesting addition here is the
'Kills Bugs Fast.' illuminated sill...



which is a play on the iconic Porsche ad that
featured another 'Arena Red Metallic' Porsche...



I seem to recall that this particular car
ended up with a collector in the Miami
area. He also bought a 'Fashion Grey'
gt3 in the same series. He was only
missing getting a 'Signal Green' for
the perfect PTS Trifecta in MY2015.

In summary, this is a unique built among
the 30 (or so) late allocation '15 PTS gt3s
built by Porsche. And I would think one
of the most valuable in the series...if you
happen to like 'Arena Red Metallic' &
appreciate the unique options on this
gt3!
