Cxx mats with Guards Red leather? Was told about them during my Customs consultation; may be just run of the mill though!

thanks. Trying to tie in the red steels outside with some red accents inside ( belts, pulls, vents). Thrilled bc it was certainly a bit of a risk, I think it looks great. Interior is so dark, needs some color!

I visited the factory at the end of November to catch my RS on the line. There were several in production, including a PTS Carmine Red car. Maybe this is the same car?

Thanks for the kind words. cant wait to get my hands on this sucker. I also ordered a set of red R stripes for $300, will put them on and see how they look to further the theme. Figure if I don't like them, can just pull them off!

This forum is so amazing to get great ideas and info. That is if you can read between all the constant whining and complaints!

Maybe it's the last car off the line?

Would be pretty special

Definitely not the last car off the line. Could be that the order was submitted when all the other PTS RS's orders were submitted, but the production was delayed.

I am aware of a "GTS Red" RS being produced around that time as well. The one delivered in Germany is a different color.
