10 Amazing Paint To Sample Porsche 911 GT2 RS Colors

Why order such a special car in a "stock" color?

There's no question that the Porsche 911 GT2 RS is a special car. The GT2 RS captured the production car lap record around the Nurburgring and has now gone on to sell at a huge premium over its original MSRP of $293,000. The average asking price for a GT2 RS is currently around $542,000, but this is assuming the car is painted in one of its four standard colors or eight optional colors.

Porsche also offers one of the coolest options on the market called paint to sample. GT2 RS deliveries are well underway and we have been seeing tons of examples with stunning PTS colors. An online magazine called PTSRS has been gathering a database of PTS cars and we have chosen 10 of the best colors on the GT2 RS. Let us know which one is your favorite in the comments.

Signal Green

This Signal Green GT2 RS was delivered to the Netherlands and is the first known example of this color in the world, though a second example was delivered in Houston, Texas. Of course, this GT2 RS also comes equipped with the Weissach Package featuring satin black accents. Signal Green has also been used on several BMW models.

Gulf Blue

Gulf Blue is a famous color that has been used on many race cars in the past. This GT2 RS also sports orange decals, which harken back to the old Gulf Racing colors. Combined with the lightweight Weissach Package, this GT2 RS is a fantastic homage to racing. Photo credit @supercarslovakia.

Ultraviolet

The 991.1 generation GT3 RS was offered in a unique shade of purple, but the GT2 RS did not have this option. Luckily this owner in Switzerland opted for a PTS Ultraviolet, which looks incredibly unique. This example is paired with the Weissach Package with satin gold wheels. Photo credit @justinschmoeller.

Mexico Blue

Mexico Blue is a historic color for Porsche, so it only made sense to opt for it on a GT2 RS with the Weissach Package. The particular example was found in California and sports matching Mexico Blue inserts on the interior. Photo credit @og_amer.

Yachting Blue Metallic

Yachts and Porsche seem to go together like peanut butter and jelly, so this example of Yachting Blue Metallic makes a ton of sense. The color seems to shift between blue and grey depending on the light and looks subtle but cool. Photo credit @porschecenterbergen.

Pastel Orange

The GT2 RS is already a pretty extreme car and doesn't need an extreme color to help it stand out - but it couldn't hurt. This shade of Pastel Orange was spotted in Texas and features Lava Orange stitching on the interior. Photo credit @porsche.wyatt.

Light Green

It may be a boring name, but Light Green is anything but a boring color. This color was formerly known as Birch Green and this example was delivered to Springfield, Illinois. On the inside, the car has stitching in Acid Green, which was a popular color on the 918. Light Green differs from Acid Green because it doesn't have as much of a yellow hue.

Dark Sea Blue Metallic

Dark Sea Blue is seemingly a very popular PTS color because there are reportedly four examples including this particular one in Germany. The dark hue pairs incredibly well with the satin gold Weissach wheels, which really helps the wheels stand out. Photo credit @luca.munich.

Mint Green

If you want a color that almost no other car on the road will have, Mint Green seems like a good option. This example was delivered in Omaha, Nebraska, where it became the second known GT2 RS in this color. Few modern cars are sold in this shade, so we love the uniqueness of the color.

British Racing Green

The Porsche 911 may be all German, but it still looks great in British Racing Green. This example was delivered in Germany and also features unique “Madras Karo" plaid seats that were done via Porsche Exclusive. Photo credit @doddyslowinfastout.

We Bet You've Never Seen These Cars In These Insane Colors

And the best part is, they are all currently for sale.

Here at CarBuzz, we love exotic paint colors. We have even debated what the best colors are to order an expensive car in. However, some people don't just want an exciting color, they also want something that they will never see driving past them on the road. The best way to have such a unique car is to do a paint-to-sample, which is offered by higher-priced manufacturers like Porsche and BMW. However, a special order car can often take over three months to arrive and some people just can't wait. Here are five unique color cars for sale right now.

Lamborghinis are often painted in wacky colors like yellow, orange or green, but we think that we found a color that's far more unique. This Lamborghini color is called Viola (violet), and we found a Huracan painted with this amazing 30th Anniversary color. Even the brake calipers are painted in a matching purple. We love the combo with the white leather interior, and the car is currently being sold by Naples Motorsports in Florida for $310,000. We even found a matching 1997 Diablo nearby for $185,000. These two matching purple Lamborghinis would be perfect for anyone who loves this color and Italian exotic supercars.

Enthusiast Auto Group has become quite famous on the internet for selling some amazing BMWs that must be seen to be believed. For example, this dealership sold a 13 year-old E39 M5 with less than 10,000 miles on it. So of course it comes as no surprise that Enthusiast Auto currently has a BMW Individual M4 painted in Signal Green. This color was initially a Ferrari color, and former Top Gear host Chris Evans used to own a 599 in Signal Green. We love the color because it looks so different from a standard M4. The car is just under $70,000, which is not bad considering that it is filled with carbon fiber options.

Porsche is probably one of the best automakers when it comes to custom paint colors. Sometimes, Porsche won't let customers order a limited edition car with paint-to-sample because it wants to keep the number of exclusive cars down. However, normal production models like the 911 GTS can usually be ordered in almost any color as long as the owner is willing to wait around three months. However, if anyone has the itch to own a one-of-a-kind 911, we found this Mint Green example for sale for $127,000 at Champion Porsche. This is a 911.1 Carrera GTS, so no turbocharging and it even has a manual transmission for the purists. It may not be a GT3, but it is just a step below it.

A little while ago, Mercedes-Benz decided to give us a taste of what German humor looks like in the form of a limited edition series of uniquely painted G-Wagons. The G-Class normally comes in boring colors like white or silver, so seeing it in yellow, orange, and green was definitely quite a shock. The colors all had hilarious names like Tomato Red, Sunset Beam, Galactic Beam, and Alien Beam. We found one of these cars painted in Alien Beam Green and we can't think of a better car to draw attention for someone who loves living in the spotlight. Only 463 of these SUVs were made, so it is unlikely that many of them will ever cross paths. At $162,000, the attention won't come cheap.

We already showed how different the BMW M4 could look in a unique green, but sometimes uniqueness is all about subtlety. Many people would look at this BMW M3 and think that it's no different than one of the cars they've seen at the BMW dealer in Yas Marina Blue, a cool, but still factory color. This M3 is not Yas Marina Blue, but rather Laguna Seca Blue, which is a color from the E46 M3 generation. The car even has a BMW individual interior with white leather and dash inserts in Laguna Seca Blue. The car also has a manual transmission, which should make it a collector's piece in the future. This may be the perfect M3, and it is being privately sold right now for $79,000.
