Default Arena Red Turbo S Cabriolet

In my search for my new Arena Red Turbo S I found it very difficult to find good photos of the color so wanted to include a post in case anyone wanted to search. Since the color is an old 1995 one there are very few good photos of it.

With good light and the new iPhone 11 three lens camera I was able to take great photos that really show how the color looks. I’ve always found taking photos of triple layer colors (like my Bianco Fuji 488 Spider) has always been hard except with post processing. However, the new camera is truly amazing and eclipses even many digital SLRs.

All photos have not been altered on setting.

Very nice.

I agree with your thoughts on photographing many metallic Porsche colors. They look very different depending on the lighting. Nice job!

Looks amazing! Great photos of a beautiful color. I have seen a couple 993's in Arena Red but never a 991, congrats!!

Scarce color on the 991's for sure. Looks terrific on the cab. Congrats!

That's very thoughtful of you! You really don't need a good justification for posting photos, though, so keep it up!

Nice car! Beautiful color.

And the new iPhone 11 pro camera is outstanding. I’m selling all my Leica stuff- the difference between it and the iPhone isn’t big enough. The Hasselblad is another story.

Thanks. I know my wife is a pro photographer and has some full format Nikon DSLR with some crazy lenses that cost thousands and the iPhone is seriously nearly as good. She also has a medium format Hasselblad but rarely uses it as film/paper is just too much of a hassle though for some photos it is amazing.

I am sorry, but this is silly. Try blowing up a picture to gallery size.

Indeed, comparing an iPhone at 12 MP with a Hasselblad at 100 MP is inappropriate, and this is without comparing the resolution of their lenses.

Love the color, hate the orange side markers with it...must put clear ones in.
