I believe that is the paint room

I would assume this is to make sure there no contamination on the next car

 

Though color opinions are subjective, Porsche knows what looks best on its introduction models. The RS is a high-performance car used primarily on a track. The offered standard colors conform to this purpose. The RS has exterior visual performance enhancements that highlight the true nature of the car. With the offered standard colors, the car looks aggressive and fast. PTS colors detract from this visual. They look pretty and cute—a far cry from what a car is intended to look like.

 

I wanted frog or smurf, but they pulled those colors

 

thank you. I truly needed a good laugh today. I agree because black truly shows off the “visual performance enhancements” of the car. They’re faster too and look fast. What matters most is being able to use the car. However everyone has different preferences and customers do like to personalize their vehicles to their own tastes/ personalities if given the opportunity. I highly doubt Porsche picked the 6 colors available because they believed they look the best or look fast. I would venture to say a publicly traded company that needs to produce a product and turn a profit had to make decisions. Likely supply chain issues of obtaining carbon fiber parts and then further having to paint them many different colors resulting in a logistically nightmare. Leading to the reason for the reduced number of choices.

 

we got a letter re: pts on gt3rs stating customers in limbo should/could move forward by picking non pts.

I don't have info on it but *guessing* the painted hoods and wings are really an issue for QC in pts.

 

 

This is what happens when the standard color pallet offered by Porsche sucks.

 

It really is ridiculous. I know its always been this way to some degree but I just cannot believe the color options on a standard 911 are far greater than that for an RS. I am sure there must be some manufacturing process reason why this is but still.... just crazy what the current color options are unless you are able to get PTS. Just insane to me for a car this expensive.

 

Agreed, and it’s been said before, but how many monochromatic shades do we need? Just throw us a blue or green maybe?

 

RS has always has almost no color options except the 991.2 3rs….which I of course correctly ordered Miami blue

This time it’s now black/white, red, grey, grey or grey

So what’s the best standard color?

 

992.1 GT3 RS cars will be more desirable.

 

what if you requested a last year color shark blue or python green because their current color options suck? As they still run shark on gt4Rs and they were offered not too long ago on this 3Rs. Do you think they could pull that off?

 

Absolutely not

 

exactly! The older I get the more sick and tired I am of seeing grey/silver/ white or black cars everywhere. I don’t even care what the color is anymore. Just something with color!

 

That’s exactly why I ended up with GR, despite not being a “red car guy” 🤷‍♂️
