It was Black, Miami Blue and Racing Yellow. Porsche had to give an OK on every order.

The Last 918 Spyder...
***
I'll let my Canadian 'compatriot' Daniel tackle the color of the
991 gt3 RS from his vantage point in the 'Great White North'.
He already touched on the subject in post #13.
Let this chameleon prove once & for all how unreliable it's
to depend on photos from the web to guess at its PTS color!
***
Instead, I am concentrating on the 918. I am wondering if the
Spyder pictured on this thread is the 'Burgundy Red' (paint # 6808
& Porsche color code 017) that we heard was approved for someone
that requested it on that special model? I got today an email from
a former PCA president that asked me about that 918 he had seen
on this Rennlist thread. And it started me thinking about it!
According to this report (which doesn't specify the exact color), it
was the last 918 Spyder built:

***
We know from a report from Rennlister Larry F that there were
several 'reds' approved for PTS on the 918. They included:
Rosso Efesto (a Lambo Metallic Red)
Rosso Corsa (Ferrari Red)
Pagani Red (Wonder whose 'red' this is, Horacio?)
Arena Red Metallic
and
'Burgundy 6808'. Which was known as Porsche
color code 017 at one time.

Perhaps some reader of Rennlist knows exactly the color of this
dark red 918 Spyder and can put the speculation to rest.

This is the only PTS RS whose color I still have not been able to determine. I do know the dealer of origin is Porsche Centrum Leusden in the Netherlands. Only way of confirming is via the dealer. This car has been seen throughout Europe, including Geneva, Monaco and the Netherlands. The GT3 RS decal at the back has also been noted by a British photographer to be strikingly mispositioned, suggesting it had been removed and reapplied at some point.

I reached out to a sales associate at the dealership, and he said the color is GTS Red (LM3E). Not sure if you or Eduardo have heard of it before.

PAG's color code system has only three possible letters
& numbers to categorize each of the hues. In this case
'GTS Red' is M3E.
Thank you for contacting the selling dealer on this matter.

This paint to sample GTS Red GT3 RS is now for sale by the original dealer. Here’s a link to some great photos. I’ve ordered a 991.2 GT3 in this same color; it arrives Oct 28th.

Behold, the power of the internet.
I do like the dark reds. In addition to GTS red, we have seen superior red metallic on a touring, and at least two non-GT 991 in pasha red.

991.2 GT3 in GTS Red - Worth the 2-Year Wait
Many thanks to all on this thread, in particular Amer, Eduardo and Calexio whose efforts helped me get this color onto my own GT3. Immediately after Amer confirmed the color code of the 991.1 RS from Europe I placed an order for a 991.2; that was two years ago. The car arrived this week and it’s awaiting paint protection before I take delivery. I also opted for full leather interior. These photos were taken under bright service shop lights. From my communications with Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur it appears this may be the only 991.2 GT car in this color. Thanks Again, Mark
