Default White GT3 RS

Has anyone recently bt white RS?

I know Porsche charge a wopping $4K and no decals/black wheels.

Wondered if you can now get the decals/black wheels and the additional charge if any.

Also, has anyone in Europe bt a white RS or is white only available USA?

Cheers

The only RS I have seen was white. Although not standard with the $4K plus for white, you can get the wheels, mirrors, wing end plates in any color you want that Porsche has available. As far as I know, decals only come in black or orange, but I've seen pics of them in other colors, likely not factory produced.

Thanks Philip.

Did you pay extra for the decals and were black wheels a no cost option?


Cheers

Mine is all white silver wheels( pccb w/yellow calipers).

I have the stickers but haven't decided whether or not to apply. I'm thinking not.

Mine is all white with silver wheels. I ordered the decals separately but will not put them on the car. The wide body RS is stunning without graphics in my opinion. And yes I paid the PREMIUM! GGGrrrrrrrr.

I have a white RS with a confirmed July build coming. Got pretty much a stripper: decals and mirrors, wing end plates and wheels in black. PCCB and xenons of course. And some of that fake carbon trim and aluminum dead pedal. Will also post pics once it's in, hopefully August sometime.

White is a "paint to sample" charge of $4300. Decals are available from the factory in black or orange, and you can have them scanned on a cad cam machine and duplicate them in any color you'd like (racing guys do this all the time to put logos on their race cars). The charge for painting the mirrors, spoiler end plates, and wheels, together with the decals and the paint to sample charge bring the cost of a full livery white RS to around $10k, if I remember correctly. I've seen the exact numbers on another post from some months back.
Regards,
Ray

If you're talking about "Pano", that's my car (I'm told...I haven't seen it yet).
The white car in Excellence is a new GT2.

Just found out. Intercity scheduled to pick up at port either Tomorrow night or Thursday morning. Depending on where they go afterwards (it's also the port for South Florida), it should be at the dealer between Friday and probably Tuesday.

Excited yet!? One aspect of the GT3's I love are the tires, they look amazing on the rims just like a racecar, well the GT3 is one but....

I'd love to hear the howl of that beast in a tunnel, so do you have plans for your first drive?
