Default Carmine Red GTS Pics...

Haven't seen these posted yet so thought I'd share... came across this set of pics tonight, seems like real world pics of the GTS outside of the press materials are limited at best. Looking really nice here...

Full set can be found here: http://www.autogespot.com/porsche-99...gts/2014/10/21

Awesome!! The Black exterior trims look über-cool.

Those who have worried that the black trims might look ugly can now be rest assured, I think. The actual car in flesh will look even better than these photos.

For years I have been a fan of Guards red. Then in the 993 phase I fell for the Arena Red, and I have gone the last 20 years thinking those two reds could not be outdone.

Until now. That color looks stunning and it seems to pop with black or brushed aluminum. In other words it really stands out on its own.

Thanks for posting these! I was really wondering how Carmine Red would look in untouched non-press media pics. I'm convinced, a Carmine Red GTS is truly lust worthy. I want one!

1st GTS I have really liked, agree with everyone that CR compliments all the black. Should also look good in Signal yellow & Chartreuse.

I think it will look great in Sapphire Blue as well, should be bright enough to contrast with the black trim items.

And I'm quite happy that the wheels appear to be more of a stain finish vs high gloss too...

I am sure it would look good but if I was going to buy one I would avoid the more "seen" colours of 991 range to give the car a fresher look. I think that was a big plus with 50th (having its own colours) as it really makes it stand out from the pack - Carmine red is pretty rare on a 991 and definitely helps to define the car as a new model. I guess what I am trying to say is that choosing the right colour (unusual) helps to put a bit of daylight between GTS and standard 991.

Agreed but given there are very few Sapphire Blue 911s in the Toronto area (I've seen exactly zero 991s in that color) I think it will be unique enough... I've had a few red cars in the past and I don't need another excuse to be pulled over frequently.

Agreed, the satin finish on the wheels will be hot.
