I think the color must be chosen also considering how you intend to use the car...
To go shopping all combos are ok, but if you want to use the RS4.0 on his natural track-enviroment then a less delicate color (like for example white) should be considered...

Is this a real PTS GT3 RS 4.0 or are the grey details photoshopped on a regular RS?
#168

Congrats to all the TSers getting this car, I'm sure it's going to be amazing.
I still think visually they missed the mark here and had a chance to make it look at least a little more special and different than the rs 3.8. Despite the engine and chassis refinements I do not believe it justifies a 50k premium over the normal RS.
Regarding the chris harris video a number of pages back - I'm kinda annoyed on behalf of GT2rs owners at what preuninger says in the video. First of all is it me or does he seem not that excited? Second, I think its a slap in the face to 2RS owners to say that unpainted carbon fiber is lighter and represents lightweight savings - it is obvious they were developing this car while the 2RS was being released and the bare carbon was being praised for its weight savings. Not saying that he is being inaccurate, I just find this all a bunch of annoying bull$hit marketing speak that will ring true until they release the next car with bare carbon again. Also they probably shouldn't have mounted dynamic headlamps if they wanted to save weight.
I'm curious as to this claim that painted carbon fiber weighs less than bare resin coated carbon fiber. We'll leave pagani out of this since their carbon fiber is manipulated down to the weave and can vary in weight greatly. I recall reading a long time ago (any f40 or f50 owners feel free to correct me) that despite the f40 having unsealed, painted carbon panels, they still weighed more than the respective pieces for the f50, which had been sealed and then painted. The reason the f50 weighed more overall had mostly to do with the engine and running gear and extra reinforcement for the open top. So I'm not exactly sure about Preuninger's claim although obviously he would know more about this than me.
