Default Carmon Red pics???

Does anyone know where I can find some pics of a Carmon Red 997 (or 996)? I've already searched this site to no avail. Thanks!

Give me your e-mail address. I have a Carmon Red version. In real totally different than on the screen. I don't say better, as that is a personal choice for everybody.

We saw Carmon on a Boxster a week ago and I can tell you it looks totally different than on the Porsche site. It is not a red like my Magnetic Red metallic Corvette, it is a wine (burgundy) color. Wife loved it, I didn't.

I saw one in person at the local P-car dealer. Very elegant looking! It was on the showroom floor. Salesman said it looks even better in natural daylight. I liked it primarily because it was not the prerequisite silver, gray or black, which seem to be everywhere! No offense meant to owners of silver, gray, or black P-cars!!

Yep, very different in daylight and totally different compared to the web color.

I was looking for Basalt Black or Carmon Red. Get a lot of compliments from both males and females. Even people open their windows and start talking while at a stoplight. Not once or twice in total, but a few times a week.

I haven't seen another one yet.

Is it anything like Arena Red or is it more lipstick like?

I really miss the Arena Red. I'll check at the dealer today, but didn't recall seeing one last visit.

The pictures are taken with an old low resolution digital camera. Not the best quality to my opinion.

Racer48: are they OK to post?

I have a brand new digitial camera since last week. That one makes very nice pictures (7.2 Mpixel), but now I have to clean up the P-car.

I had my pro Nikon D2H with me today to get a picture, but the dealer had none in stock!

In fact, he didn't even have a 997 for me to test drive! Everything was sold so he only had customer's cars. Next shipment would be August/September. Drat!

I have been at 4 dealers, and the only colors I see there are black, silver and seal. One occasion a blue one which was a special order and same with one in red.

Default Thanks!

Thanks to all who have provided the Carmon Red pics. I must say that I really like that color, and I think that it would look great with a Sand interior, kind of like the old Arena Red/cashmere. I'm tempted to change my order before it's too late. Hmmm......................................

Not bad! Do you have more pictures? Can you private mail me any full-sized ones?

Thanks,
