That looks to be Cassisrot (Cassis Red Metallic) and a very pricey special order paint -which makes it rare. Those seats and door cards are probably super rare as well... leather and cloth. Don't think that was ever seen on US cars.

While not the 928....does point out the costs ! " .. Before 1986, Porsche had offered the Flachbau body option out of its customer service department known as Sonderwunschen. These were handmade cars, not limited to just the Turbo, but the Carrera and Carrera SC as well. In the 1987 model year, these were productionized with the M505 code for USA for an astounding $23,244 extra and M506 for the rest of the world.
Despite the panels being slightly heavier, they were modeled after the 935 race car for top speed. The conversion required extended rocker panels, wider rear flares with scooped vents and flip-up headlights up front with functional louvres.

So yes a factory special wish car could get very expensive very quickly

...just had to capture for posterity that you admitted you were wrong. Otherwise, nobody would believe it!
But seriously, ugly or not -it was probably much more aerodynamic than the stock design... far fewer points of turbulence. If only it weighed the same or LESS than stock -then it would be something for sure!

I knew the lights were a option... I suspect the side skirts might have been as well. Remember, for the right money there was little the factory wouldn't do for you...except maybe increase the size of the sunroof! LOL! I don't care for it personally...any of it, but to each his own. Obviously someone spent a whole lot of money to have that car built the way it sits now!
