Default Yow! Unusual color combo ...

Here's a sweet 993 TT in a gorgeous iris blue ... and a bright red interior with burl wood trim. Um ...

Wow!!! I am speechless. For a $125,000 MSRP I would have put more thought into the color combo.

Yikes! Holy corneal ablation, Batman The PO is the author of the song
"I wear my sunglasses at night".
Just a few touches of black would make that interior palatable to me.
I'd love to see the leather headliner and sunvisors. (Assuming they're not red)
It beats the yellow NSX they have, with yellow seats and carpet.

ICK!


That looks almost identical to the Black and RED interior 993 my dealer was 'stuck' with for about 2 years. Someone custom ordered this black with all red interior and it was a bit too much... it was so gawdy it wasn't even funny..

The dealer offered me $15K off sticker if I wanted to buy it... I just couldn't do it! ... I went with red exterior with black interior instead


I always wondered who ended up with that car.. LOL

I'm really disappointed that the air conditioning vents aren't wrapped in the red leather. The original buyer cheaped out.

I saw the car. The interior is really red. A custom order by someone who must have liked red a lot.

Except for the wood, I like it a lot.

It looks like only the leather items are red. The carpet is not, if the headliner is also not red it would be easy to swap in another interior. At a 7k discount this car would be quite plausible given the gorgeous exterior color.

I don't know guys, if you're an Ole Miss fan (red/blue team colors) or a New York Giants fan, you could slap some magnetic helmets stickers on the doors and tailgate for your team in style!!

Maybe I need to buy it and take it to the Grove for the next tailgate in Oxford, MS. Hell, that town is so team crazy, people even paint their houses blue with red shutters, complimented with blue carpet. It's about as bad as Tennessee fans buying orange pick-up trucks!! LOL
