garnet red baby! I love it w/ black leather....but I'm biased. I like the graphite color I've seen on one of the cars here and that greenish blue (dont kno the name) is quite cool too.
sorry...the quality isnt all that great, but you get the idea..

mr. z,

i noticed you are lucky enough to have sport seats. were these an original option on the car or did you replace the regular seats?

i am jealous!

I have 4 944s. 3 red, 2 with nlack interrior. One red with linnen and one gold with brown. I don't like the gold with brown much but my daughter loves it.

My only preference used to be anything but red though I'm starting to get used to the red with black interior. I would also be OK with red/tan.

I think most colors look fine on 944s, champagne was the color of my first 944, took a bit of getting used to. Blue would have to be my favorite color but it's just about impossible to come by...

Sorry i left that color out..your car color is my favorite right next to black. I would prefer your color due to it being so rare, I would have to do something about the burgundy interior..(just my opinion)
otherwise, youve got my pick, but i want a turbo S, so I think Id have no choice but black

Jason,
the sport seats came with the car from the factory....and I absolutely love them...sooo comfy and supportive. believe it or not, they're actually in great condition too. I didnt realize that it was anything special to the 944 until I went to my first autocross, and it was pointed out to me by the other '44 guys.

Thumbs up

Mine is Garnet Red (Granat Rot) and I think it's one of my favorite P colours. The cobalt blue is also gorgeous.
Interiour has gotto be black; mine is light gray and it's difficult to keep it looking clean and tidy.

Black cars with black interiors are faster.

I'll be the first to post Zyclam Red Pearl Effect.



It's not my favorite, but it has grown on me as a unique color. I always get asked about it.

Exterior:
1. Gold
2. Silver (current 944)
3. Blue
4. green

Interior:
1. tan (current)
2. linnen
3. grey

FWIW Sittin at the bar with one of the locals and his wife - we start talking cars (his neighbor just got a new BMW with a V8 - he's ranting about how the foreign cars are copying the American V8 muscle cars) Uh... he is a little opinionated... okay very opinionated.
Then I mention my 944... he mentions how much he loves his mid-90's Camero with a slush box... then out of the blue mentions that sports cars with tan interiors are for ****... I didn't mention what color my interior was tan... or that auto trannies are for...
Well you know.
