The Targa with red interior had a very interesting color. I think
it was "Volcano Grey" I didn't ask if this was a one-off.
Anyone know?

Great that Edgy snapped a pic proving that porsche in fact co-opted his
color for the Speedster. They should recruit him into their design
department

Thanks for the pics guys.

The Grey/Red Targa is beautiful. I could live with that.

Looks like Porsche chose the green for the Cayman from a Lamborgini color chart. I hate the Lamborgini colors!

Dan, looks like you busted 'em on the "Pure Blue". The Speedster looks great in "Blue Turquoise".

The 356 is my favorite of the whole lot. What a "looker". Porsche has a great display of cars there. Very impressive.

Here's that grey color for you. They called is 7A1. Don't know the actual marketing name. If I had the time I would love to take mine down when they are striking the set and shoot the two blues together--just to see if there is much of a difference.

Here's the engine--same as the GTS, except with the carbonfiber airbox for looks.

I'm going back to see the rest of the show in a few days and I'll
take better pics of that Grey/Red Targa as it's quite unique.
Stay tuned.

You should be! The dealers were suggesting that the majority of Speedsters coming to the USA will be in blue.

Here's another view of the Targa, from a distance. Speedster from rear quarter.
