I posted similar question on the GT3 forum, so apologies if you've seen this already.

I have to get my PTS request in a couple weeks and can't identify the color. I'm interested in a bright red similar to Audi's Brilliant Red, GM's Fire Red, and Honda's New Formula Red. PAG's guards red is too orange for my taste.

My salesman says Rosso Corsa might be close. I know several of the reds aren't bright red including bahia, arena, signal.

Can anyone help me out?

Rosso Corsa is a Ferrari color. If go to a Ferrari dealer can get a better look at the shade of red. I hope your salesperson told you, Porsche only approved specific PTS colors available. From memory, Rosso Corsa was not on the list.

Hope you have better success than me, after waiting months, Germany rejected my PTS sample color, on two different model year 911's. So you may want to consider a back up plan. Good luck.

Carmine looks like a nice red, but there will be a few other P cars around in that color. I think as reds go, it looks nicer than Guards. IMHO.

Very nice red. Have yet to see a 991 in Carmine, just Pan GTS's. Still like the iconic Guards Red even if is a bit too orange for the OP.

Carmine isn't the shade of red I'm after. I saw a Cayenne GTS a few years back that I thought was a bright red. Anyone know if GTS red is what I'm after? A very bright pure red, not orange tint like Guards.

BTW, anyone notice that on Porsche's car configurator website, they are now showing 2 911s in Lava Orange on the model page? I'm afraid that color is going to be overdone for the next model year.

I thought I saw Rossa Corsa on the latest list posted by Eduardo. I'm partial to GR (my 911 is that color), but RC would be sweet....T

Rosso Corsa is indeed on the list. Other reds which I don't know are:

Absolute
Pascha
Fire
GTS

There are also a few metallic reds, Arena, Classic, Zanzibar, Ruby, and Peru which I don't think are right for me. Curious sidebar, my 07 orange no longer appears on the list. I heard that sun fading was an issue.

Okay, so now I've narrowed to Absolute Red, Fire Red, and Rosso Corsa red. Anyone know which is close to Audi's Brilliant Red?

I don't know which is most similar to Audi red, but you can't go wrong with RC given its history with Ferrari!

Think you should rethink Carmine. Fantastic color in real life. Also probably wouldn't take that long since cars like GTS are already getting it PTS. That is what I would pick. Awesome color

Saw a Cayenne at dealer in Carmine. Ditto at Costco. Looked great indoors under florescent lighting; looked great outdoors in sunlight. I own a Guards Red 911, so I'm biased, but CR is awesome as the above poster said....T

I have a guards red tts. I wish it were carmine red. Oh well..

Carmine, that's the special color for the GTS cars? PAG says they have yet to test on the RS

Put a GR 991 next to Brilliant Red and Rosso Corsa. Degree of orange-ness: GR, RC, and BR. BR is a pure red.
