Default PTS Zanzibar Red Spyder

So I was at the local Porsche Dealer picking up my GT4 and saw this on the show room floor. A PTS Zanzibar Red. Looked way different in different light so was hard to get some pics but here you go.

Looks almost orange-red to my eye. I like it!

That's pretty bad ***. It looks a little like the Lava red of the RS, but a bit more muted. I love it!

Very nice. Zanzibar is a unique color. It's both a red and an orange but a little more subtle than brighter reds and oranges.
I've seen it on a 996 Carrera. I think it was an available color in the early 996 years.
I really believe these PTS Porsches will have good value in the years to come.

Cool color. Looks like Arena Red with a bit of orange tint.

Like it. However, need to see it in person. Wonder how 'orangish' will it look under certain lighting conditions compared to Guards Red.

That Imola Orange NSX is hot! Still kicking myself for not taking up on an offer to trade a Boxster S (986) for it. The last remaining one sat on a showroom floor for a long while; they couldn't sell it. Oddly, I was working at that dealership! Being a roadster guy, couldn't see driving a targa!

I don't like it. It's lost in nowhere between red and orange.
