That is a photo from the Dealer Principal Launch event for Cayman / Carrera4 in Ibeza, Spain.
Porsche treats them really nice

Well inasmuch as I bought a used 993 and a new 997S cab, I think its BS that I was not invited on that cruise.

I guess it was a formal party and everyone needed to wear black

At least they varied the interior colors! Talk about a black tie event.
Don't know about the rest, but the first car has PCCB!

To provide dealers with initial samples for the launch, Porsche pre-configured the C4s Cab's in Black and the C4 Cabs in silver. Go to <insert dealership name here>.porschedealer.com and you'll notice that is the only way they are getting these cars. These were probably all of the launch cars.

What I find interesting is that our local dealership is a pretty high volume dealership (they got 5 launch cars), but none of the C4s' were cabs.

Ronmart, 2nd row of black Cabs (left to right), 2nd Cab in clearly says "Carrera 4", not 4S and it's black, not silver.

Nice pic, from what I have seen on the streets it seems dark blue and black are most popular in the 997 Cabs.
