I don't think that 20% of the North American C2S's were in Vesuvio. I have only seen 2 in person. If I had to guess, I would imagine that black and silver (Arctic and Polar) probably make up at least 50% of the North American cars.
The colour on the door handles, mirrors and rear grill is called titanium, I think. As part of the Vesuvio package, all three were painted the different colour.

I can get the metal grau code if anyone needs it.

Thanks in advance.
Stahlgrau metalic MAT POR61W or in glasurit: P61W
This color comes originally in MAT. The shift **** brake handle wheels mirrors and door handles , Of Course, have lacquer applied after.
Keep this code handy, I had to be in germany and it wasn't easy to get.
Full color code with Sikkens (Akzo Nobel), impossible to get from Glasurit
Color Mix for 1 Litre:
666 ----- 393.7
00 ---- 394.8
575 ---- 395.9
952 ---- 398.2
744 ---- 493.8
333DF ----- 606.3
333C ----- 730.0
333CS ----- 966.2
Give this mix codes to your local sikkens dealer, and you got the color
this is what RL is all about

It's a car from the special wishes department. (Do they call it like that?) I added the split grill and the S scoops myself, the rest is original.
It has a 3.8 engine, turbo nose, 18" hollow spokes, full carbon interior, alu break and shifter, motorsound with big ovals etc....

The cleanest Vesuvio carrera S I have seen is actually on sale through Porsche approved used cars (europe), with VERY low mileage 19000 km.
3.8 litres option is X51 and not X50 as mentioned here-above
