This looks like the car that was on the Interstate transport truck a few months ago when I got my TT. They said it was supposed to be the first one in the country, but at that time it didn't have a motor. Looks much better now.

That looks like speed yellow to me, not fayennce (sp?) yellow, but could be the lighting and/or camera I guess. Looks sharp in yellow.

Is that one for sale?

What's the antenna on the back, a CB to talk to the truckers? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

CJV,
It isn't just you. I have always felt the CGT is simply a super boxster.

Definitely not speed yellow, much brighter yellow -- almost as nice as Ferrari yellow.

Supposedly, it's the new yellow specifically for the CGT. The antenna was being used in conjunction with the test drivers' lap top computer hook up -- they were recording/monitoring the car's vital signs as they were driving around Southern California.

I think it looks great from the pictures i've seen. But then again, I never make a true judgement about a car till I see it in person. I didn't like the enzo much but I finally saw on in real life and man was it just a beauty!

It does have a roof option. If i could post pics, i would. Maybe someone else here would be kind enough to post some pics where the cgt has its roof on. I think the porsche website has some good ones. It does look like a boxster, but i like the boxster so that doesnt bother me. I always wished the boxster would come with a coupe option.
