Miami blue is a sexy color. I'm not too sure how I would feel about it after two or three years though

Very nice car! The color choice is great! That Miami blue has been growing on me, so much so that I would consider ordering a car in that color if i had to now especially after seeing all the pictures from new owners on the forum.

Good Luck!

Keep us posted on your very expensive car...

Do you mean it will cost you $335,000 AMERICAN DOLLARS or local currency?

337, 000 American dollars in the end. A shade over 22 million in local currency.

Thanks all. Here she is at a local market today on the occasion of our independence day.
In layman's terms, the main difference that I find between the old NA motors and this, is that you didn't feel the speed in the old car till you were actually too fast. But this 991.2 snaps the head back so hard that you feel you are going much faster than you actually are!

LOVE the pictures, AWINI ! Last time I was in New Delhi was 1981. Past 3 years have been traveling to Chennai to attend courses at ONENESS UNIVERSITY. Enjoy your beautiful car. I would be AFRAID to drive your car in Chennai with its huge traffic jams !!

I wonder what he drives? After collecting all of the taxes, probably anything he wants.

I don't think $337,000USD is outrageous in India. I'm thinking that if you can afford a $150,000 car in india and not miss the money, it would be the same with a $337,000 car there too. Enjoy. Hopefully you can park it on the street and still find it there when you return.
