Pretty cool, very unique. Not too crazy about the color but I'm sure it would grow on me. I think any color GT3 RS would look nice.

it looks more yellow than green in the sun light, but still pretty cool! I love the 997.1 graphics - looks so much better than the .2 "stickers"

Bears some resemblance to the Cayman R Green. Wonder if it's actually the same thing...

I applaud the bravery, but I find that very hard to look at, especially the clashing orangy-yellow belts with the greenish-yellow interior trim. Yikes. I'd take the PTS black RS on McKenna's lot first...

Weird red trim on that Cayman in the background, too.

My god that Cayman is ugly. RS is interesting to look at but definitely couldn't own it.

Porsche needs to offer painted PCCB calipers in the same manner as Ferrari or Lamborghini. Like u said, yellow just doesn't work in many situations. The red wheels on 997.2 RS's is one of them... wonder why all the press photos of that car have steel brakes on? Not one--not one shot with yellow PCCBS. LOL.

Back to the original post... somebody really wanted this car uber-blinged. The deviated stitching on the center and rear console seems green as well... if true it's probably a one-off tequipment order...

Probably will have some appeal in the future considering the rarity.

But for me, right now, not so much.

Or you can get them anodized charcoal like the stoptechs

I like it to be honest, looks like a toy car Reminded me of the Cayman R color as well.

I realized that I really liked the old .1 RS stripe. It look 100x better and more elegant
