My friend in SoCal had a C2S in Vesuvio with Areo Kit 2. It was a stunner. Sold it a couple of years ago.

There has been one spotted driving around DT this past summer, most likely the same car given the rarity.

Im not one to drool about how pretty things are, but that color is pretty damn awesome. Still would take a blood-orange GT2 first, though

My '98 with Cashmere sport seats will be on display during the EuroAuto Festival at the BMW manufacturing center in Spartanburg, SC on Oct. 18. Porsche is the featured marquee. Stop by for a look.

Are there any stats of how many of these came to the US? According to Canepa, 22 or 24? I forgot. Look forward to hearing if other's know of any around.
Bruce Canepa had one about 5 years ago that was absolutely fantastic like a new car ,virtually no miles. The number he had on it was huge something like 225m if I remember right although I could be off on that, but not the condition, like showroom!

Was that an Asian fellow, Yuji maybe? Used to post on here a lot? Gold-centered 18" BBS E88s? If so, I met him once about 10 years ago at a cars 'n coffee in Woodland Hills. Great looking car.

EDIT: I found him...username WarpMan

Gorgeous color, very chameleon-like, different shades popping up depending on the lighting conditions!

Yuji munched his C2S many years ago and, as far as I know, never replaced it. So sad. Such an awesome car and Yuji was a funny dude.
