So many of the promotional materials last year (and in late-14) depicted the GTS in either GT Silver or Carmine Red. The first one I saw was a Carmine Red GTS 2 from Beverly Hills Porsche, when I was staying at the Palm Desert Marriott last February. It was stunning.

I love red sportscars, just want to keep a slightly lower profile on my Porsches so I always get Arctic or GT, which I also love, for different reasons. But I have yet to see (in any venue) another Carmine Red GTS; and with the weekly introduction threads from new owners, I don't remember seeing anybody with Carmine.

So do any of you have one? It's such a rich, gorgeous color.

 

I saw it in person at the LA auto show launch 2013 ... it was STUNNING in real life.

If I wasn't "blue" I'd probably be red...

 

Paul007 has one incoming he just bought

Okay, there's one. It's funny, usually if Porsche previews a model in a particular, unusual color, it gets snapped up. Even something as weird as Peridot Green on the Cayman R. Of course, Lime Gold from a few years ago was a sale-proof bomb, but that's sort of to be expected. But a wonderful, non-controversial shade of red like that, you'd think would be flying off the lots. I remember when Arena Red bowed (was that with the 993 Turbo or 993 C4S?) It was everywhere, much more prevalent than Guards. And Arena is not nearly the knockout red that Carmine is, IMO.

 

My boss (another RL member) has a gorgeous carmine red GTS. I can't get him to stop talking about it. /grin

 

Well, I hope you have the good sense not to rub it in that you have a 50th. You could be very condescending to him if you chose to! (better colors, better wheels, better interior goodies).

 

I did. 2016. Delivered 8/15. I get a lot of positive comments on the color of the red. It really is a stunning color of red.

 

I love my 50th, but it's really a GTS in another color, imo.

I'll say this, our first team dinner was an very interesting conversation that I'll never forget.

 

1st 991.1 ever saw was Carmine Red at Porsche of Wallingford, CT. Stunning color and generally don't like red. T

 

I purchased one

 

Well sure. But if they had been on the options list, I'd be driving a Geyser Grey/Pepita GTS with Fuchs 20s. THEN I'd say you have a point.

 

Yep. Took delivery in September - drop dead gorgeous 2016 Carmine Red GTS 7MT. Fourth red car (previous BMWs and Audi S4 - first red Porsche after earlier Seal Gray and Basalt Black C2S 997.1 and 997.2 models). Once you see this color in person - hard to imagine ordering anything else. Too much attention? Really?

 

My wife was wanting me to go CR, I thought it was a bit loud so went the conservative route with SB, lol.

 

I've got one too. I'm really enjoying it so far

 

Does a Targa count? If so, then yes. And I freaking love it!
