Thanks I have found renderings but not actuals photos and I have searched for many hours.

50footer: This car of yours will look good at any distance from it...even less than 50 feet! Can't say the same for some of old ladies I know...meaning early 356's & 911's of course. The 'Espresso/Cognac' two tone interior is currently my favorite combination offered by Porsche. Congratulations. Enjoy it in good health!

Saludos,

Am I wrong? I thought these were renderings and not photos.

Porsche Exclusive in the US has not been very helpful to me. I wish you better luck with PTS.
I will ask Melissa when I talk to her next. PTS is a little scary.

Default No GUM...but we can give you Volgas!

That is because German Chancellor Angela Merkel asked Porsche CEO Matthias Müller to postpone the 'Gum Red Square' 991 edition until Russia behaves itself in the Ukraine. They were never made!

http://www.4wheelsnews.com/porsche-i...ion-in-russia/

Instead, the VW Group has agreed to produced 20 of these GAZ-M20 Pobeda 'Volga' at their ŠKODA subsidiary in Mladá Boleslav in Czech Republic using leftover car parts from the Soviet era and give them to Putin as 'just desserts' for taking over the Crimea. Supposedly, Russia is ready to file a complaint in the International Criminal Court in The Hague against Merkel & Germany for changing the Porsche 'Red Square' 991's into these antiquated Volgas...which is deem 'cruel and unusual punishment'. And who is going to dispute that? Stand by to see how this whole 'Red Square' imbroglio is resolved, if by diplomacy...or if by NATO tanks as a last resort!

LOL. That's why I can't find a photo. You have given me a great idea for a two-tone 991 Coupe! I'll run it by Porsche Exclusive and see what they say.

Congratulations - a great looking car. Just curious, why did you order the wheels in black as opposed to exterior color? Does it show better on the car?

I shot this picture in Basel (CH) last fall.
Coupé is 356/2-004.
Cab 356/2-003 is Pasha red. It can't be a more historical color...

For me it was an entirely aesthetic choice which is what exclusive is all about!

Thank you to all on this thread btw... Serious learnings that were invaluable!

Saw your car at the dealership this morning . Gorgeous! Congrats.

It was a little exhibition at the Fair next to the Raid Suisse-Paris. It's not permanent. Both cars belong to a private local owner.
When I passed by, they were outside with keys on dash and 004 running engine. Nobody within 200ft...
You can barely imagine what swiss collectors keep in their garage.
