Not as unique as you might think. This is the third PTS orange 4.0 I know of.

I like the orange and black wheels, but it really doesn't look right with the silver graphics and trim. What really looks awful is the ugly red lower mirror wing. I am very disappointed that Porsche offered PTS, but did not offer painted trim and graphics delete options. Regardless of these nit-picks, whoever buys this car will have a one of a kind. So far the best color combination I have seen has been white with silver wheels (basically the standard colors).

Turn all the silver bits to black and red bits to silver and MAYBE this is gonna look less of an eyesore. Great color, great car, just not the right color combo as is. Heck, To each his own...

Stripes are easily removed and red lower mirror wings can be repainted with minimal effort but the front axle lift is a real no-no on this car.

I'm with Trakcar on this one. I'll offer you $1000 more than him! Wow, what a car...

The only one that rivals this is a Maritime blue 4.0 here in Dallas.

I'm fascinated by this color choice... Never saw this coming. However, all the graphics and mirrors need to be black to tie in with the wheels. Or decal delete...

I do not even particularly love the color scheme of white and black 4.0s. Too many colors, too many decals. I like orange RSs but this one is definitely not pulling it off.

The 4.0s are too busy.

When my imaginary Riviera blue 4.0 rolls off the truck, the "PORSCHE" on the wing might be able to stay but the rest of the decals will be stripped.

That is by far the best looking 4.0 that i've seen to date. Someone is going to have a STUNNING GT3... That orange is amazing!

Remove the decals and substitute with a couple small black ones or none at all. similar to the car in Nizer's maritime blue thread.

Done.

Agree. The GT3 RS doesn't need the stickers - DRL's RS is a perfect example of a great looking RS.

I would take it in pink if I could afford it with 2 warts for all I care.
