Default Original 993 Turbo S with red brake calipers ?

Original Turbo S were made with yellow bake calipers *ONLY*. This is what I know, but it seams that red calipers could be obtained upon special request.
Does anyone know of the existence of *original* 993 Turbo S with red brake calipers?
It seems to me that everything was possible in 1998 upon request at the Exclusive section in Porsche.

I've probably seen 20 - 25 Turbo S's and none had red calipers.

Mine has yellow, and I don't know why anyone would order red, when Yellow specified the S, but whatever...

This is an "original" (?!?) Turbo S I have recently seen with red brake calipers. This car was ordered with "all Cartier red" interior, and so even the calipers were ordered in red. I dislike this option. Anyway, it seems that at least one Turbo S with red brake calipers exists!

In addition, even in the Marc Bongers' Porsche Data Book, at page 177, the Turbo S is displayed with red brake calipers.
Since painted calipers was an option, maybe that at least few owners ordered red ones instead of the originally yellow painted.
If all of this is confirmed by personal expert inspection, the yellow brake calipers are no more a "must have to be" for any Turbo S.

Wishes.
