I hope they're wrong regarding PDK.

You think the grey will be slate grey or like your 50th grey? PS i also owned a 50th in graphite grey metallic but i think the leaked pic looks more like slate grey

I don't think the leaked picture colours was the graphite grey from the 50th. Pictures looked darker so yes a slate grey is my guess as well.

Again not really sure why they don't mix it up a bit though if providing different colours, we already have some greys and silver available, why not a green or a mahogany, an orange or even another yellow. Although appreciate a yellow or orange may not go with a less conspicuous look of a touring version.

PS the sale grey looked the part on that 911R / steve Mcqueen inspiration ..

I would think masking off chrome trim would be the easiest (and predictable) thing Porsche would do to retain any semblance of surprise with a model variant.

Could be... but why stop there and mask only the chrome trims?

The previous spy shots didn't mask a thing... and the chrome trims were there for all to see...

Oh Wow! Love the look.
Do you think the Touring Pack will be sold as a separate model, or part of the regular GT3 in terms of allocation?

You can see the little baby rear lip on this car which first was seen on the grey car with bright trim. Like that car, this one is also US-spec (perhaps the same car). I agree with WernerE that the bright trim is hidden here, ahead of its reveal this coming week or next.

I'm sure you understand they will prefer not to be mentioned.
Is your dealer source saying rear seats?

RS is maybe a package?

actually it could be but that would decrease its specialness...

I presume it would be 'anodised' - so, more satin than chrome.

The 2.7RS 'Touring' (and 911s of that era) had quite a lot of 'brightwork' and it helps accentuate the classic 911 roofline - particularly against darker colours.
