When collected from Porsche Cambridge last Thursday I had neither driven a GTS or seen a car in the flesh in Carmine Red (let alone with an aerokit)!! All I can say is wow. Wow, wow, wow :D
 
very nice :thumb:

Be good to hear how much different the 991 is with the full fat GTS
 
Great choice , I love these , let's have some pics up quick , better to see an owners car rather than press shots !!!

I could be tempted with one of these..

Pictures! I have realised that carmine red has massive changes in hue in different light. In bright sunshine, there is no brighter red, in low light it turns a dark blood red

WOW! That is one mean looking car. Many congratulations. :grin:

Colour seems to make it appear extra wide at the rear compared to a straight C4S - almost appears the same width of Turbo body.
 
Very, very, very nice!

Congrats and enjoy :thumb:
 
made me do a morning sex wee!

There are not enough brightly colored Porsches in my opinion. I shouldn't say anything as mine is black but in my defence I wanted a white one, just couldn't find one.
 
Woweee that looks amazing :thumb:
 
Not a big fan of red cars, but I like that (a lot)
 
Cheers guys. Moving from a 2wd manual to a 4wd PDK is a bit of a culture shock (as is the extra 50bhp!). Soooo glad I went for carmine red now.

Its the rear end that does it for me. Looks so wide :D :D
