I am a bit disappointed in the color in an otherwise compelling project

Word on the street is that Mr. T has been saving up his "A-Team" residuals, and he's the buyer

It's not my color of choice either, but well, it is "Project Gold" after all...

Even Porsche couldn’t get a sport seat. 😕
wish they’d produce the tequipment rather than 1 offs. Cool project but would rather see projects for air cooled owners rather than collectors.
I ping them with tequipment request every month or so to try and spark some demand

Is there and email your sending to or post the link for the tequipment requests. I’d gladly inundate them with demands for 993 stuff...Sport seats, floor mats and brake/shift *****, etc.

It has 450 hp. I believe that is the same as turbo S. Regular turbo was 400ish.

I was more interested in the run-up of reveals than the actual finished project.😐

I'm not in love with the color, but it probably looks great to people in the mid 90's.

But, seriously. How can they be so out of touch on the color choice? There had to be a thought process....

This may be the first time in Porsche history that Porsche has successfully turned a project car into a project car.
