According to Top Gear.

The preview shows an orange RS rear hatch, but doesn't reveal much.

I'm pretty sure that's just a picture of a 997.1 RS rear hatch used by the top gear site for the article. Here's hoping for orange, though!

I agree. I do remember someone on this forum saying the new RS marketing color would be orange.

Ahh yes it was TRAKCAR who said it will be orange . Strange that Porsche will be showing the RS during its "40 Years Of Turbo" celebration. Maybe the RS will be turbo. Also something TRAKCAR has been saying .

My curiosity is really piqued though! I've been in and out of the queue so many times I'm getting dizzy!

Can't wait to see the orange again.

I previously had a Phoenix Yellow M3 daily driver and was happy to see BMW trot that color out as well.
