I think that is actually the tan exterior color that is just under some incandescent lights...could be wrong...I think I was wrong once before... I was also thinking that is a pretty nice looking 928 though!

It could be a color I would call butterscotch that I have seen on a few 928s before.

I noticed a few things Ive never noticed in the video before, why are the door jams and underside of the hood white? Why does the car have side mirrors in some of the vid, but not when they are making the other parts? Still a cool vid though.

A lot was done to the car for the actual run.
It was originally white, but painted red to contrast against the salt.
Mirrors and wiper blades were removed for aero, also notice that the ride height is dumped to the ground.
Also, there is some speculation that the car wasn't exactly a "production" vehicle. When Mark got the car it had a different ECU than stock for example.

Rumor has it, the internals are either all Titanium, or the current owner only runs Amsoil.
