Trompe l'oeil...in photos but not in person!
This green has more blue than yellow. It is nothing like my old W25 'Signal Green'. How do I know? Because I took my W-25 rear spoiler (factory painted as it came on my '07 PTS 'Signal Green') on my Mini JCW, drove it out there and put it against it tonight (I'll post photos another day). This green has way too much 'blue'. My 'Signal Green' W25 had more of a 'yellow' hue. I am now thinking it might be either the current PTS 'Signal Green' (22S from the MY1992) or 'Green' (2D8 from the RS Green' of '07/'08). I believe 'Viper' (code 225) doesn't have as much 'blue' as that green on this 911 Turbo S. But I will find out by tomorrow night...as soon as I meet anyone from 'Porsche Exclusive' & ask.
If you learn anything from this discussion is that photos often DO NOT represent well the actual visual impression of a car color on the human eye!

Eduardo...I can imagine PCNA crew rolling their eyes when you placed your deck lid down next to their car for those comparo pics, LOL.
Did they bring a new Targa ? I assume so, been too lazy so far to go to dealers to check one out.
Looking forward to tomorrow's Concours.

Wow, I can't believe they made those choices with the interior. I love the exterior color and contrasting black top, rear spoiler, and accents. On the interior, I would have picked espresso natural leather with matching green stitching. Perhaps the green panels would have worked with this - would have loved to see this. But the black and gray leather fail.
I give them credit for attempting a unique and provocative configuration. Having gone through this myself, I know that one takes risk in designing a custom car to original specification. I'd be greatly inspired to see this exterior on the road. The interior doesn't work for me.

I still think it's cool.
Thanks for sharing Eduardo.
You saved your wing from your 997 ?
I'd rather have a 991 GT3 with a new motor, 100k CPO and a pile of new tires though.

Doesn't everybody? No, it's a long story. The quick version. The original owner of my '07 PTS 'Signal Green' C2S put the aerokit front & rear bumper on the car before taking delivery. This is the original rear deck lid from that W25 'Signal Green' car!
