Here is my 96tt. Iris blue with lipstick. It sure is an eye catcher. Its stunning in person. I love bold colors on these cars. Woulden't work on a Yugo though.

wow, that looks nice, is this the same flamenco red as mine or is it boxster red

I have had two 993s with red interiors (8 years of ownership and daily use); a Polar Silver/Flamenco Red cab, and and an Arctic Silver/Flamenco Red turbo. I loved them both! The only thing that I thought didn't work was the red carpet, which faded over time to a pinkish-rose color. Otherwise, I never tired of the leather color and thought that it aged very well.
IMHO, the redder, the better.
That Iris Blue/Lipstick Red turbo is just incredible. It reminds me of the Blue/Red 50's 356s and is, for my taste, even more Porsche-like than the Silver/Black standard 911 so in fashion today.

Maybe more **** enthusiasts go with black and tend to keep it clean, but I have a hard time believing that black has more dye or anything. I've seen several blacks that show every crack especially in flash photographs.

I've also seen red carpets fade to pinkish, which looks bad. Maybe these are best suited for garage queens? I think the objective of Boxster red was to have a factory patina that appears less intense than other reds, yielding a more "retro" look, but it still seems a bit too orange for me.

I think I want to get off this ride before we get to Can Can. Some of the two-tones seem to have too much black, so the Flamenco of Vee12 (red wheel) seems just about right to me.

Q: How does Flamenco differ from Lipstick?

lthatch

Flamenco Red has a bit of burgundy tone to it.
Boxster Red has an orange-brown tone.
Can-Can/Lipstick are intensely shocking red (like in a Corvette).
Lobster is (?) a little orangish.
Chestnut has a brownish tone.
The new 997 red...kind of Can Can, I think.

I think they are all great. But then, I love brown interiors, too.

Wow - I assume this was a custom job?

I LOVE red interiors!

My 928 S4 5-speed is Black with CanCan interior.

My 96 6-speed 993 C2 is Black Metallic with Flamenco Red interior.

I've had both cars nearly 20-years, and to this day people will come over and admire them while getting gas.

Wow, that red is stunning. Though it is a lot of red - just seems to be Porsche's style.

My 996 C2 w the faded, dated Boxster Red interior, slowly becoming more black. RennLine floor boards coming. Trying to decide on Lloyds or Coco Mats

Carlos993, I would love to know where you sourced that steering wheel.

I could never do a red interior. Only black for me. I would have NOT bought my '95 Polar silver if it had any color other than black interior. Just my humble personal opinion.
