Subjective. I kind of like it. Definitely a head turner which is why I probably wouldn't buy it. Not a "look at me" type. I also think it would look better without the huge Carrera badge and the black stripes that extends to the front and rear bumper. Could probably be removed without too much drama and expense.

I know it says Carrera S on the rear decklid but the car has what looks like black calipers and definitely a black gauge cluster. S cars came standard with white gauges and red calipers. Both of which were likely changed by the original owner who obviously wasn't shy about personalizing his/her car when ordered. Just saying since some have been known to "upgrade" their car by altering the rear decklid badge.

I love it - nice looking car. I have a Black C4S and I love that, and I'm not a fan of some of the other "brighter" colours, but the orange reminds me of the older 911 models.

I own a '73 BMW 2002 in the color Colorado ( Orange). It gets lots of looks at car shows! Love the color!

Love it! I usually don’t like the stickers but everything just works on that car.

The car actually has red calipers with vented discs. Plus its the 3.8 so its an "S" . The car was cahnged by the original owner.

Nice pick up. Living near Clemson University, that would fit right in down here.
