white/red is a sweet combo...I looked at a turbo last year but the wife gave the thumbs down on the red interior.

if it had some black rather than all red, that car would be really sweet

Exclamation FS: 239,993 Euros

She's a one-off, the only GT2 from the factory in that color. Cost an additional 50,000 DM over & above factory's price for a 993 GT2.

I wrote briefly of her last month in the RS Parts Advice thread, calling her the "custom-made 'Exclusiv' blue meanie."

Some of you may remember her covergirl good looks -- she was on the cover of 'Exclusiv' / 'Tequipment' brochures back in the day.

Body color's most evident in Ilko's opening photo of the matching wheels ... ironically, in pale BLUE: 'Coppa Florio.'

I'd prefer seats with deviating-black stitching. (Inside joke, but not even a very good one.)




^ ^ Good example of how the lighting & "auto-contrast" camera settings wash out the pale blue in pictures ... to white.


FS: 239,993 Euros.

That car is officially one of my all time favorites now that I know it's blue. As if the red interior wasn't nuts enough. Unbelievable!!!

Fantastic car but the interior is something like a nightmare.

Maybe the original buyer was a Ferraristi but that red is going to make the driver sooner or later color-blind.

Looks like a grenade went off with the driver still in the car, rather like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r92FLEOtx44

for a normal 993, I would say it was too much red. But on a GT2, I think the more outrageous, the better.
I love the head Liner.
No one in America would order this color combo anyway, we are very conservative when ordering new p-cars. Just look at the 996tt, it seems like most of them are Seal Grey over black.

Wow, I was not expecting that....

Fantastic car, but I would change the key ring to something less flashy.

Black carpet, white painted seat backs, and a couple of other little red-to-black conversions (e.g., the stereo head-unit) and this thing would be just right. I agree with Justin above -- this car is so nuts and special that it needs a nuts and special paint and interior combo.

Jerry Seinfeld's blue with black interior Turbo S had everything covered in black leather.
