Green!!!

How many cars can pull green off (Lamborghini doesn't count - most of their colors are extravagant).

BTW: If I ever get a Lambo it will be verde ithaca.

Your car is stunning. Personally I think the RS is one of the best looking 911's ever no matter what color.

I don't know if I would have picked orange, but when I had a chance to get mine, I fell in love with it.

I like Orange/black,
then Silver with Black accents and wheels- only seen it once and it was rad. Don't like silver with orange at all,
then Green,
then Black with orange letters and black wheels (orange wheels- yuck when parked),
then white last because it looks too much like the regular gt3-

" No I swear it's an RS! it's 40 mm wider! there's no sunroof! I swear it's an RS!"

The first time that I saw the black with orange (on the Porsche website) I was in awe. It will always be my favorite RS color because of that, but not necessarily the one that I would choose.

Silver and orange would not get a second look from me until a certain silver/orange RS owner posted some pics of his and now I love it! It still may not be my favorite, but I want to point out that the silver might be one that you need to see in person before judging to harshly.

I like both green and orange very much and agree with the posts about the boring colors today, especially Porsche cars. But I have also owned a couple Lotus cars in orange (current one included), and I can do without the EXTRA added attention brought about because of the color alone. I would have taken my current Lotus in white, but that was not an option from my local dealer.

But I honestly like all of the RS colors and would take any one of them. Because for me it is mostly about what the car does to me when I am behind the wheel puting it through the paces at my comfort/skill level.

Green for sure!

No, make that orange, yeah orange is best.

Hold on, white with black does look great.

Is there really a wrong choice?

I'd say the most collectable will be the launch color - so orange for RS and white for GT3.

That way the factory publicity material matches your car.

Orange with black, but I am biased. Also- the special edition Cayman S Sport is coming out in Orange/black, like the RS.

- i never thought this would be my answer, but when i finally saw black with orange wheels, orange graphics, orange mirrors and orange end pieces for the rear wing, it is by far the best looking combo

For the regular GT3, white.
For GT3RS, I think green suits the car very well. If it was my car though, I would have it in silver w. orange.
Hold the colors in the interior. It looks too much like an amusement park when the dials or the central tunnel is painted.

OK, not everyone's favorite color but it is "possibly" the rarest color.

I would have ordered either a slate/orange or meteor/orange if it were offered. I love the darker silvers. Instead I went with white because of the versatility. White has a neutral template to change the look, ie white/black, white/blue, white/red, etc, when you want something different.

Either Orange or Green. It's what the RS is supposed to be. All the other colors are available on all the other models (although it now seems that you can order some boxers/caymans/911's with the orange). When it was time to spec my car, I literally flipped a coin to decide between Orange and Green. No other colors were ever considered. I ended up w Orange, thank goodness that the Dutch love orange :-)
