Wanted to see if anyone knows this car. Any thoughts? Is that Iris Blue?

I love the color. I do not believe that is Iris blue.

 

Ocean Blue Metallic

 

Could be midnight blue too. It's not very common ocean or iris blue in combo with a black interior. Typically they are grey or cashmere.

 

Iris or Ocean, defo not Midnight. I would say Ocean as Iris is a bit purple.

Not great pic TBH

 

I have a midnight blue 993TT and the color looks the same in photos as the OP post.

 

Must need engine work! Only 282 HP, my 96 has 408 HP!

Just looked at this on my laptop and now its looks Midnight!

 

I'd ask why the brake calipers look to be in such bad condition. Was it tracked a lot?

 

it DOES look like Iris Blau to me.

Here is my former IB C4S

Looks much better with a grey interior IMO.

 

Do the VIN or option codes indicate the color? Also, is it strange that the wheel caps don't say "Turbo"?

 

Ocean Blue Metallic was the factory metallic blue color in 1997. To get Midnight Blue in 1997 it was a PTS option.

Based on that odds are it is Ocean Blue Metallic.
