Choosing the right RS

Hello dear Teamspeeders!

After some time out, I need to pick a new car. I am in love with my 3.2L. It is such a nice machine on the french twisty roads that I won't ever sell it!!!

Now I am looking to buy in the next 3 weeks a GT3 RS 997 Mark1. But what are the options or colors to priorities?

I heard most of them were produced in Orange and that the green is more difficult to sell? I wanted one black, orange or green.
I also fell in love with it!

Sportively!

If i were you i would go for silver with orange wheels, logos, roll cage and accents in the rear spoiler. It is quite rare combination and you can't find it easy. Or if you want something else go for black with the same colour combination as silver. As you said orange with black logos, wheels etc is a common colour for this car.

I wish you the best for the search.

Here the colours you mentioned earlier and the silver:

IMO green is the best looking for this car, with orange being a close second. The black with orange isn't that bad, but silver and orange is a huge no.

All of these are fairly tough to find.

I don't like the grey one... I think it is not "exotic" enough.In my opinion, if I would go for a grey, I would simply go for a 997 gt3 Clubsport.

I was offered this morning a black, a green, a white and an orange. The prices are a bit different, but options are the same roughly.

I am pretty excited. The garage will be nice!

I would def go for orange or green if you want a "exotic" color that stands out! Silver with black wheels combo is more "elegant".

In Sweden the white ones are hard to find wich make that color rare here!

Anyhow, good luck with choise and keep us updated :-)

Well I believe it will be one of those. The thing is I personnally believe that the RS is not mad to be elegant. If I want elegant I get back to a Continental GT... But I want reliable, exotic, strong and excentric!!

Orange is my personal favorite I just feel it fits the character of the car, green as well those were the launch colors
