How are you finding the intake and cabin noise? Glorious and visceral or too loud?

So how the heck did these guys get what looks like a Carmine red GT4 RS, when the color is not offered for GT4/RS (not even through PTS). Wrap? Do they say anything in the video?

When I looked on my local configurator, Carmine Red was available on PTS.

Oh wow really? On the US configurator, for the GT4 RS the only 2 PTS reds are these 2 -
Martin do you mind posting a screenshot if not too much trouble?
Edit - I just checked the SA configurator, didn't see Carmine red there either. Not sure if I am looking in the right place -

I have done the 1500km run in period.
All i can say the car is insane. That engine in such a small car is absolute perfect. I have done some drifts with it and the balance is perfect. I have owned a 997 mk2 GT3 also but sold it after 1.5 years. I don’t like engines behind a rear axle it does not belong there and it gives to much understeer.
This GT4RS you can rotate on the brake pedal or on the throttle whatever you want. The car is for me the perfect example hou a drivers car with a mid engine should drive. Drove also a carrera GT on track the Cayman RS feels and react exact the same.
Then the sound. It gives you goosebumps awesome if you go flat out. On track this sound gives you even more fun. But on long journey’s you better put in some earplugs. And the bose option is wasted money. Luckily i did not order that.
But for me this is no negative because i trailer the RS to the track. But on long journey’s for some people the sound can be to much. But on track you wil love it with the helmet on!
I am real happy i could buy one. This car will stay a very very long time in my stable next to the GR86 and the Yaris GR. I just love drivers cars and happy these manufacturers bring them so we can enjoy them and driving them.
