Pretty sure it is the tachart unit. The same one I have on my C2 I like it better than the factory splitter on the NB cars. Is it a three piece unit? It looks so clean on your car and that amethyst is such a great color.
It's called Black Currant Pearl as he mentioned to me a while back
That is a 991 turbo Color? Now I know why I liked it so much. I saw a turbo in this color once and it was just overwhelmingly gorgeous. If I owned a red car it would be the color.

Actually, I don't believe it's a Porsche color at all if I recall correctly. Hope he'll chime in to confirm. Either way, it's such a beautiful color. Between this and the Viola Metallic on the Jubi 964 for me is a difficult choice.
On point Luft! It's RP25P (also "black" or "dark" "currant pearl") and it might well be a Honda color code. Maybe there are NSXes in this color? I know it has been used over a lot of "random" models of the marque in the late 90s or early 2000s. Goes pretty unnoticed on street cars but on nice curves it's pretty. Viola metallic might be a better choice because a tad less difficult to see.
For the splitter... It's a two piece I think, might be factory.
Interestingly my 964, which is a 1989 C4, came out of the factory with one or two XX options and in... Apricot beige! Funning thing is it was a 3.2 G body color that was still available for 964s that year and was actually a base color, not a top dollar optional one! Pretty incredible as I only saw one other 964 Carrera in Apricot Beige on the internet, but it was a gen2 with cups and teardrop mirrors. Might be more out there ofc, not everybody posts pictures.
Then of course mine got a full body strip and got painted RP25P black currant pearl by a PO. Until today I was confident it may be the only 911 in this color. After seeing that Turbo I am still confident it is the only aircooled (until luftballon paints his the same color ).

Hahah...I'm not sure a color change will be in the future anymore. I've very much grown to like the guards red. But who knows what the future may hold.

Apricot Beige C4 sold in the UK last year. I dig it!

Do you have more info on this 991TT ?
Really, the car has had two unique colors. The apricot beige is quite cool but the black current is stunning. Funny I met the owner of the TT and people including myself were going crazy over it. This was at the Porsche 70th reunion gathering at the Meadowlands sports complex. He is a PCA member but I don't see him at any of our events. I am not a water cooled fan as much as air-cooled but the TT would be in my collection if I could. As I was complimenting him on the color he was telling me about a cobalt blue 94 turbo he liked as much then I told him it was mine. LOL Guess we have similar tastes.
Gorgeous color please keep posting I never get sick of seeing it.

I know and that's the only other apricot beige I know. If I am right the Porsche Center sold it and stated it was the only apricot beige C4 or 964, whatever, but it seems not (well it is kinda as mine is not anymore but fondamently it's not true).

And you're right! Told you since beginning Guards red is stunning and you should keep it that way. Not sure I would have choosen blackcurrant if I had the choice.

Very interesting! Haha, I guess the world is small. Did he say if it was factory PTS?
