Spotted running wild: Porsche GT3 RS in SoCal

Digin the Color on this ride... Would be interested to see the wheels standing still - From the Pics I think I would prefer Black.






"Typically when we're photographing cars for a review, we pick a location where we'll be largely be left undisturbed. Last week was a bit different since I was in Southern California on business rather than my usual Michigan home. While shooting a press car at a spot overlooking the Pacific, I heard a loud growl approaching up the canyon road. I turned around just in time to catch a couple of shots of a Porsche 911 GT3 RS being exercised as its creators intended rather than just cruising in the hands of some South Beach or Hollywood poseur.

While California has its share of issues with fires, land slides, earthquakes, drought and on and on, there are some upsides to the region. The area northwest of Los Angeles is filled with mountains and canyons sprinkled with some of the most amazing driving roads on this planet. I've been fortunate enough to drive some great cars in this region over the past several years but nothing quite like GT3 RS. There wasn't a radar gun handy, but this particular Porsche was traveling at a rate slightly higher than the posted speed limit.

A very fortunate driver and passenger indeed" - Taken from AutoBlog

I sure do LOVE my Backyard!!!

Love that combo, but if it was my car, Viper Green all that way.

I have seen quite a few of them.

Hopefully the prices will keep falling and I can get one after we bought our house sometime next year.

I am still struggling to understand why a GT3 RS spotting (in So Cal, nevertheless) necessitated a news article??

I am surprised you didn't get red for your M3.

Back when we were searching for a family car, we wanted red/bamboo/DCT/NAV/no sunroof sedan, but couldn't find one anywhere close to this for the crazy discount.

We happened upon our yellow S4 Avant 6 speed at a super low price with 8000 miles, and bought it instead.

For the GT3RS, if we buy it, it will be orange.

Not Sure Exactly... Just some Cool Pics of the Car actually being used.

I just happen to like the Color Combo.
