Chartreuse Porsche

Oh, sorry, did I not explain it was a Cayman. :shock:

A fine example of 'paint to sample'.
What do you reckon? :)

Looks like a 'riceburner' with those wheels ...

Funny how that colour looks awesome on an old car, and total shite on a new one.

was just about to say the same thing.. its prob my favourite pre '74 911 colour but it looks bloody awful on that cayman..

the interior is a travesty too, although the little square numberplates go some way to explain the decisions made!.. :roll:

I actually quite like it :oops: Looks great under a deep blue sky .... I imagine the impact would not quite be the same under a dark grey sky on the front at Scarborough :shock:

The interior though is awful

I love the Cayman - so much better looking than the 997. Much more aggressive from the rear. I'd love to see one with billet Fuchs-style wheels, all painted and anodised like the originals. Blood Orange would indeed be cool, but an all-black interior, please! Drop in a high-butterfly motor with long velocity stacks poking up through the rear tray... Hmmm. Where's my lottery ticket?
