A limited edition run with all the upgrades available and only make 1,000 for worldwide distribution. At 100K USD wholesale that would give Porsche AG 100M budget to work with, surely enough to justify the project.

Tubo S body, lightweight materials, side IC's, more power say 500 HP, upgrade everthing inside and out.

I would sign up NOW!

I would want my C4S with a couple of more options, like full leather, every where, & CF dash with matching panels.

It is amazing how riviera and turquoise is the favorite color of so many now, but very few would have ordered it back in the 90s. It was pretty taboo at the time.
That being said, I will take a Riviera RS!!!

Hmm, I see Butzi's Speedster was a Tip....vindication at last, ha ha...

My current ride is purt' near what I'd order new (black on red C2S), but if I could get a Turq or Riviera Turbo S, I would.

Looks like turq or riviera would be the new seal grey, everyone would get it. But why are so few ordering this color on the 997, is it because the car is so big it would stick out like a sore thumb, or a blue thumb.
I think the vibrant colors like riv blue, yellow, and red look great on the 993 especially the special models: turbo, S, RS ect., and will look better with age. Why order a 997GT2 in Seal Grey, trying to be inconspicous? You can do a lot cheaper in a standard turbo. Am I going off topic? Sorry.
It would be so cool to order a 993 new!

I would go with a Blue turquoise with brown leather cabriolet with 19 in rims, and optional hardtop. Hey,--I already have it! Love these things! And then a water cooled motor to give me real HEAT in the winter!

Stealth I've always wanted a black/black C4S. Full leather interior (complete with all the leather extras, probably another $10K), heated sports seats with painted backs, deviating stitching (red), red belts, rear seat delete with storage, Hi-Fi, LSD, M030, Hollow Spokes, Litronics, crested caps, and X-51 3.8 power!

Riviera Blue C2S with black interior, heated sport seats, litronics, 18" hollow spoke turbo twists. Other than that, bone stock.

I'd order mine optioned exactly like my current 993 (which was special ordered and with Factory Delivery), but maybe in silver instead of GR. Then again, I'm starting to like the red better as time goes on.
