I do not know the color code, but it is a metallic paint in an olive green. There have been other pictures of it posted before, and it is just, I don't know, "yuck". Honestly, it makes me think of the "Mr. Yuck" stickers from the late 70's that were supposed to indicate to kids that something was poisonous.
If they had wanted to do something different than the usual for such an unusual car, why not something cool like the Vesuvius (spelling ?), or the rare black metallic, or even go back to the SC light blue metallic?

It's a 1994 911 Turbo Cabrio 993 Body with 964 3.6 Turbo engine - 14 made for Munich Porsche Center.
Hmmm...I saw one of those 14 cars for sale in Hong Kong a few years ago...it was pale yellow. It did not have side skirts like that one does.

Hmmm, the second porsche looks similar to a GT-1, could be wrong though.

Not a GT-1, or GT-1 derivative, me thinks. Not the GT-1 body and it doesn't have the roof-top air scoop.

Based on the headlights, perhaps some 996 custom job??

Prototypes don't always have all of the features of the production models; I think it's a GT-1 mule, too.
