    I like the oddball color and if it is a proper factory color then it would be a very distinctive porsche instead of theusual silver or variant there of

    I like that way better than a Forest Green that's for sure.

    It would actually be fun to get a car like that and put a white stripe on it, or maybe make a livery of decals. It's like a racing color. Although Chris says black, I'd say white wheels would be best.

    Given how bad the black and silver 996TT's depreciate though, this one will certainly take a hit.

    A Lambo yes. A Porsche, no (and I'm an owner).

    But I can see I'm clearly in the minority here. - :D

    That was my first thought, but I wouldn't suggest that lunacy for anyone as you'll be lucky if they retain that color (before you get out of your neighborhood). ;)

    Whew. Good to see that I am not crazy for thinking that!

    CMY - yeah, white wheels would be clean for about 10 seconds.

    Looks nice! With some beautiful black rims, it would be amazing. Reminds me of the 930's style porsches, which had this color quite often.

    Reminds me of some of the colors that Porsche released in the mid nineties...They came out with several "flat" colors and several pastels... I remember seeing the sales brochures and thinking how odd they looked, but in person, they fit the car's character quite well.

    I would buy that porsche, outside of the typical silver or black.

    It is a factory color. Pics started circulating a couple months back on porsche forums while the car was brand spanking new on the dealer floor. Then it was spotted in a city I can't remember.
    It will be hard to sell, but I like it. If I was in the market, I'd consider it.

    Heu heu,
    reminds me of a red Merc SL with burgundy interior and panoramic roof...
    Just a bit over the top.

    Some guys have weird taste.

    The only solution is to turn it into a midnight racer (add plenty of banzai kit, High end hifi with 1 terra-watt woofers (requiring a nuclear plant to run), spinners (ya, for sure !) on 26", neon glow everywhere, NoX, and at least 1000 Bhp to give the Nips' a run for their money)

    Our local dealer has a Turbo S cabrio in a metallic orange.....it's apparently a factory color and not a "paint to sample" car....it looks really wild with the black leather interior.

    This Signal Green car is nice.....but not for me......I'd bet it sits on the floor plan for a vewy, vewy long time.

    We have a saying in this business...."there's an a$$ for every seat".....

    I've gone by and seen the Orange Turbo S. It looks great I think. I would buy it.

    The green color looks good too, I would buy that one too;

    Same here.


    Unfortunately they never allowed any deviations, with the GT 3.
