    A bit flashy - not bad, though...

    It needs the black wheels to not look hideous.

    Yep, doesn't work for me either.

    A GT3 RS with big spoilers and GT3 written on it is OK, but a turbo in orange is like a red marcedes. Big no no.

    It's really not that bad, I kind of like it. I also agree that orange stitching might make the interior "pop."

    Re: 997 turbo in GT3RS Orange

    That actually is not the same shade of orange as the GT3 RS orange. Blood orange is what Porsche uses for the GT3 RS and is not available even through their exclusive color to sample program. Those pictures above is Pure Orange. Blood Orange is a bit darker.

    Sorry, I think you are wrong. This car is in GT3RS Orange(or Blood Orange as you said). Different camera filters-different impression...
    Also both GT3RS Orange and GT3RS Green are available for order for other 997, Cayman/Boxster models...

    I thought the orange people are referring to is called Bright Orange?

    Re: 997 turbo in GT3RS Orange

    There was another thread discussing the orange shade used by the GT3 RS as being "blood orange" and the official line being that it's unavailable to any cars other than the GT3 RS. You may think that I'm wrong but that's the official line. I don't really care if you believe me or not. It's pretty clear that they're two completely different shades of orange. There's also many other shades of oranges available so there might be "bright orange" too. It is after all the exclusive color to sample program. Just can't get "blood orange." I also think that you wouldn't be able to get the RS green either. You're welcome to try.

    Re: 997 turbo in GT3RS Orange

    Just check the car config on the german site http://www.porsche.com/germany/ and have a look at Boxster and Cayman : you'll notice the possibility for choosing the green as well as the orange !!

    For example : RS green is code 992D8 and costs Euro 3272

    Re: 997 turbo in GT3RS Orange

    Maybe it is possible to get the RS orange after all but that orange 997TT in the first few pictures is NOT blood orange. I've seen pictures of that very same shade of orange on another site and it was pure orange.

    I like the color, but I agree on the black wheels, and, in my opinion, it looks like something's missing (no decals on the side).
