Has anyone actually seen a correct green colored RS in the flesh?

 

Yes!

Striking and vibrant but not for me.

 

Green with envy......

 

Yes, I saw one at the factory (outside) at Zuffenhausen this month. It really stood out in the row of freshly assembled Porsches. Not my color choice.

 

That was probably this car. It just arrived this morning from Germany.

 

I think that looks awesome but would throw black wheels on there instead...

 

I have seen all five RS colours live. The green is very green!

 

I thought green would be the only way to go but............................I think it would get old fast.................I,ve opted for white , black RS 98,s with polished lips, White cage/bar, and maybeeeeeeee........................a graphics package in vinyl in RSR or Cup Car theme..................................Orange got my second vote but too many ordered...................Black simply will get too trashed if tracked......................which will happen..............alot ( I hope )

 

no offense, just currious.
you said you picked white b/c your 2nd choice orange was too common.
but isn't white even more common as many GT3's are in white?
or are you thinking that it is eaiser to do the unique vinyl graphics on white?

 

I have actually heard that 55% of all 997 GT3s so far have been ordered in white. And it does really look fantastic in white!

 

No. The one I walked around and examined had the driving controls on the right side (steering wheel, pedals).

The one above is not the RS Green color.

 

... and the one above is not a standard GT3, but a RUF car.....

(but why did they install this ugly orange side markers?)

 

no offense taken................just noticing that orange is the number 1 color ( not that this is bad ) and I,ve always liked things that are more uncommon. Problem is, as has been noted, white is somewhat boring to look at and is not exclusive to the RS marque! Not that a white RS would be rare either.................Just having the old color choice dilemma now that I have to finalize the RS specs...............I think...as of today that I am going to opt for the pumpkinmobile.................I like my black turbo................loved my arctic GT2, but both are common to all 911,s and were normal colors....I was, and am still slightly concerned the orange will get old fast...................sh####t Wish I could see an orange car in the flesh before changing my car. If I went for white, I really wanted to add a really clean graphics package ( Martini, Cup, RSR, etc.), Paint the wheels matt black, and add a cage/seat..............If I get an Orange car, forget the graphics and wheels and save a grand on top...........Hmmmmm ?

 

truth is i went bk and forth on CW and orange. finally decided to get the RS color.

 

I also had big diffifulties picking the right colour, so I went to the factory to see them all live in the "factory delivery" department. When I saw an orange RS between one white GT3 and one white Turbo, I knew I had to go for the orange. In my opinon the orange looks much better live than on picture. Green is cool too, especially as it will be very rare. But, my impression whas that the green is even louder than the orange and could get tiring in the long run.

It is interesting to notice how pleasant problems like picking the colour of my RS became a really painful problem for me...
