Default Launch Car Color?

I am working on a configuration for order. Can anyone confirm what color the silver/grey car in the launch car. It was the 991TT not the TTS.

Thank you

Have asked my dealer and others, no one knows but assumption is it is Rhodium Silver. These shots are always heavily manipulated, it's tough to tell. Here's a linke to Rhodium on a new panamera, much lighter than GT Silver.

when the lip is fully extended like that in motion, it is a work of art.

That's White, I believe. The turbo is Rhodium, the turbo s in white. Again it is manipulated so the white has silver tones in those pictures.

Thank you for advice folks. My dealer is also "pretty much sure" that it is RS. I find it kind of amazing that it is this hard to find out!

Note to PNA -- if you are going to have launch materials with a new color (probably) and new interior combos, please let the dealer network know what the specifics are (including any of the interior options). Seems crazy to be advertising something that nobody can figure out how to order with full confidence!

Happy motoring!

Not sure if the launch car is in Rhodium Silver... but I came across this video of the facelifted Panamera Turbo Executive and perhaps this could be the new Rhodium Silver (does not look like GT Silver or Platinum Silver to me)?

In the Cayman configurator, Rhodium shows darker than GT Silver.

The configurator is notorious for being inacurate, still I want a light silver and with that concern today I changed my build to GT Silver, which I know.

If i get an in person look at Rhodium before it goes non-changeable, I may change it back.

I keep looking for pictures of Rhodium and found this discussion:

Not entirely sure I'd trust this quite yet but if it's right, it's a great color.
