Wow, the MSRP was $171kUSD in 1993 money, that is the highest MSRP 3.6 I have ever seen. Can't imagine what the asking price would be for such a unusual car.

It's a German cars where MSRP would include sales tax (14%+ not sure what it was at the time). In the U.S., MSRP does not include sales tax. I agree that from the description it is the highest optioned car I have so far seen. Also, keep in mind that this was DM and not Euros at the time.

The Barney mobile!
Purple interior/exterior? A little too much purple for my taste.

I can't imagine that they could even fit all those options on the option sticker. I'm not to sure about the color choice but no doubt that is a very cool car.

Sorry, but you would have to pay me to drive that around!
Was the original owner a german **** star who bought it for his very understanding girlfriend? lol
I resently went in a wraith that had been matched to a Russian guys bird. Literally turned up at Goodwood & specked the car against her lipstick! Everything, like that 3.6, that could be made that color, was made that color. It ended up (with crocodile instead of leather) that the options overtook the price of the car (£230k? - I know a racing driver that works for them, not the owner lol They use them as delivery/VIP chauffeurs- nothing but the best in every respect! BTW RR leased the brand to BMW etc and did not sell it interestingly) RR Make a huge amount of money catering for poor taste, I think this is an example of old Dr P turning in his grave, but the accountants laughing all the way to the bank! Trade in the UK would discount that car from standard if buying, but would probally give it floor space on sale or return if they don't have much stock.
Engine mods aside, why would you pay for someone else's appalling taste? OK if it's your own bad taste.
Having said that all my toys have been either black or silver, (one silver, lots black or dark grey) which isn't very imaganative! Always fancied speed yellow, but it's not I'm my character to step out of a car that loud unless I'm a passenger and a girls driving. I like to be as undercover as possible, de badged all the way, which I'm proud to say is an English trend right now.
What about the rest of you?
Do you like everyone to see you arrive? Or do you like to show them the ropes on the way home?

I love highly optioned 911's.

However, these are some of the worst color decisions I've ever seen on a 911. Each to their own.
