I saw this car in the detail shop at Leith. The color pops so much in person. Can't wait to see soem nice photos of the interior, it's amazing looking!

I'm happy to say the RB GT3 is home safe in the garage. Thanks to Hall Liles and Charlie Schieren at Leith Porsche for their help in building this car. Great job from Pete Silvoy at TVP with the clear bra. It's hard to find enough superlatives to describe the car and how it handles. Those of you who have had the privilege to drive one certainly know what I mean.

Today the rain is coming thru. Hopefully Saturday or Sunday the sun will be back and I will work on some hi-res. photos to post. IMO, this is one of the hardest Porsche colors to photograph due to the effect of light on its hue and chroma. One last thanks, to my son Rob for suggesting the color.

Congrats Bill. Looking at a car like papa smurf, it is pretty damn hard to hate the color and not wanting it on your next car.

Curious what is PTS?

Seeing these pics is making me very impatient !

Congrats, your car will have a "euro" brother/sister within a few months.

How long did it take from ordering until delivery (regarding PTS dealy) ?

I ordered the car 07/03. Build date was set at 09/10. Car was at the dealer on 12/17. I was told that they paint a group of PTS cars at one time. This usually alters (lengthens) the time frame vs. regular production. It will be worth the wait, however.

Congrats Fred

What a fantastic car. Love the yellow gauges and stitching on the inside.
