As we've promised, we're back in the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS spotting game, with the latest King Kong example being worthy of the eye candy tag, even for those outside the Zuffenhausen fan base.
It all has to do with the hue of this Rennsport Neunelfer, with the rear-engined coupe being dressed in Lava Orange.
We're looking at a non-Weissach Widowmaker and you can consider this a simple configuration, if we may call it so - note the xenon headlights, for instance.
The license plates and the timing make it obvious that this is a manufacturer car. The US spec Neunelfer was spotted in Pforzheim, Germany, with the town being just half an hour away from Karlsruhe, the place where the just-as-mesmerising Miami Blue example of the 991.2 GT2 RS was recently caught on camera.
While this isn't the first Lava Orange incarnation of the 700 hp rear-wheel-drive beast we get to show you, we can't help but think that this shade has a special meaning.
You see, Lava Orange was the launch color of the 991.1 GT3 RS, so it comes with a strong track day aroma. As such, the hue only ads fuel to the unofficial talk regarding the Nurburgring record of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, while having also inspired the title above.
We'll remind you that the clues towards the said accolade started getting serious traction when Mark Webber revealed that he had hit 208 mph on the Ring while manhandling the Porscha.
Then came Nico Rosberg, with the reigning Formula One world champion dropping more than just a hint - in a YouTube clip, the racer said the Porsche 911 GT2 RS set a Green Hell record, albeit without mentioning what kind of accolade he was talking about.
And, with or without an official Ring number for the 2018 Porsche 911 GT2 RS, we'll continue to keep an eye out for new examples that show up online.
