Since I have the only Fashion grey GT3 so far, I guess I'll chime in here too. The colour is definitely a bit polarizing, even to me. It is not everyone's cup of tea, in fact, there are days when I wish I'd chosen a bright, dazzling PTS colour instead too (until my wife reminds me that would be a no go!). I've previously posted it can look a bit washed out in bright light, and sometimes more yellow than I'd like in certain lighting conditions. So I wouldn't disagree with those who honestly feel that way about it. But in other lighting it's just amazing! For a subtle, DD car, it's very unique and much nicer in person than photos show (imo of course). As a result, I'm much less concerned occasionally parking the car in a public lot that it'll attract a lot of attention, which is important for my use of the car. Plus, I agree with some others that the Sport Classic was one of the most memorable and desirable and interesting-looking 911s ever, and fashion grey is about as close to that colour as you'll get. I love that fashion grey has historic significance, and that some really old colours are being recycled and look cool on modern cars. So overall, it is really perfect for what I wanted, and I couldn't be happier with my choice (unless I had two GT3s, or say an RS, with the second in a great blue or yellow or something very bold!).
That said, I personally don't love the colour enough to pay $30K over for it (and that is apart from my general reluctance to pay over MSRP). I specced my car with all the options I wanted, and I'm very happy with it, but that is the only way I'd want to do it.
Yours is the only one? I met someone in Atlanta who said their 2014 is fashion grey (he was from Wisconsin). Was it you?

Daniel was referring only to PTS 'Fashion Grey / Modegrau' gt3s. So far he has the only one we know has been delivered in North America. There are a few (but not many) 'Fashion Grey / Modegrau' 991 around....a 991 coupe from Park Place (Texas):
and a cab from Cape Girardeau, Missouri come to mind!
But there could be other PTS 'Fashion Grey' gt3s built in MY2014 for a US customer in Wisconsin...we just don't know about them here at Rennlist.
Of the possible ten (max) late '15 allocations to be done in 'Fashion Grey / Modegrau' for the US market, we have identified one for a Rennlister sold via dealer in Las Vegas, one ordered by '918 Anonymous' via the 918 VIP program, one at Champion in Florida, one at Rusnak-Pasadena (the color blind folks!), one with the Todd Blue 'IndiGo' Porsche dealer organization and a possible one destined for Jerry Seinfeld in Connecticut. None of these, to our knowledge, has yet been delivered to their customers here in the US. If anyone knows of another one of these late '15 gt3s in 'Fashion Grey' that is not mentioned in the list above, please let us know!
I hope we can get this individual, or somebody that knows him from that PCA region, to fill us in with more details about his '14 gt3 in PTS 'Fashion Grey / Modegrau'! That region is around Appleton, Wisconsin!

I think this is a fantastic looking GT3. Especially love the contrast between subtle gray, yellow brake calipers, and the bold (by 911 standards) styling of the GT3. Really great looking car. I frequently check your thread just to see fotos
Awesome! Thanks for that info and for correcting my misconception! I did actually think mine was the only one until the next ten arrive. But that's really cool to see another one already delivered.

Not polarizing to me. I love that colour!!

Damn, that's Chuck Norris! That car better shift itself, or else!
PS A few were imported to the US, although not certified for road use. So in private collections.
i have purchased a Sport Classic a couple of months ago from a German Collector (car has 255 miles on it). i am in the process of importing it into USA right now under Show & Display DOT exception. it will be certified for road use, just like the previously imported Sport Classics were.
will keep you updated and post pictures once I get the car.
