As expected, Porsche used a vivid color for the launch of the 2019 GT3 RS, with the track special landing in Lizzard Green trim. Nevertheless, we've been looking forward to bringing you a less screaming color. And here we are, talking about the first Chalk incarnation of the 991.2 GT3 RS (you might know this shade as Crayon).
As with the other 2019 GT3 RS spotting we've delivered so far, the machine we have here is a factory vehicle - it's not unusual for automotive producers to continue testing after a model has been officially introduced, so these spottings shouldn't come as a surprise.

Once again, the tester skips the usual wheels setup on the Rennsport model, which involves 21-inch rear wheels and 20-inch front rollers. Instead, this Neunelfer comes with all-round 20-inch wheels, just like a GT3 would. And that's because the machine is testing on winter tires.

Looping past the wheels, the machine doesn't feature the Weissach Package, but it does come with the Clubsport Package, hence the rollcage adorning the cabin. Speaking of the interior, you should also notice the full bucket seats, which are shared with the 918.

Speaking of the optional extras present on this car, the color of the calipers indicates the presence of PCCB (Porsche Carbon Ceramic) brakes, while the face of the machine is adorned with the optional all-LED front light clusters packing black inner graphics.

Now, if you're looking for the GT3 RS real-world sightings we mentioned above, we'll remind you that we showed you a Racing Yellow unit spotted at the exact gas station as the car we have here.

And we mustn't forget the Lizzard Green unit, which allows one to check out the natural light take on the launch hue.

P.S.: Use the swipe feature of the Instagram post below to check out the Chalk 911 in all its visual might.

 

A PTSRS Exclusive: The first Chalk (Crayon; kreide) 991.2 GT3 RS test car has been seen by @lgcarphotography in the exact same location as the Racing Yellow test car in Ludwigsburg, Germany. This example is the standard model with the Clubsport Package. Again a note on the wheels - these are wearing factory winter wheels, so both the front and rear are the smaller 20” sets from the GT3. Great to see the 3RS test cars out in full force. Many thanks again to @lgcarphotography for the photos (and @robinschwill for the help). Drop a line in the comments below regarding your thoughts on Chalk for the new 3RS. I also realize these are not PTS examples, so let me know your thoughts on these posts as well. #PTSRS
