Jeepaholic, thanks very much for your photo (below) of your red top. That answered many questions for me.

It appears the color of the top is burgundy, a wine color with a base blue tone. Compare it with the brakes calipers which are Guards Red and with an orange base hue. Unfortunately the burgundy shade does not appeal to my wife so we will stay with a black top.

Nevertheless, you car is beautiful and an eye catcher. Enjoy it to the fullest.

I'm going to the dealer on Monday (6 hour drive) to see if they have the red sample.

I think it's nice to have the choice. I predict it will be much more popular in Germany with the Europeans. American are very conservative when it comes to colors on their Porsches!

I like the red top, but you have to get the red interior to go with it. Otherwise, get the black top.

I would go with the blue. It is a little darker so the folds will not show as much over time. Very classic German cab combo white with a blue top. The red is too muted a color in person.
