Default Is That a Black 997 GTS?

Have you seen the commercial for the new movie 'Red 2'? It looks to me like a black 997, possibly a GTS that is featured in the trailer. Anyone know? The first 'Red' was just OK, but I might enjoy this one a little more, depending on how big of a role the car has

Keep your GTS! Then you won't care! You know, we are WAY, WAY overdue for a road trip for us locals, gotta do something sooner rather than later!

Cheers!

It is indeed a black GTS racing through the streets of Paris! Pretty cool. I don't think it's a trailer, it's a movie clip. There's a good HD version on Apple Trailers....

I noticed the same thing the other day and I thought about all you gts owners. I just wander if they wreck or blow it up. Would be a shame.

As did I. Seems like all the new movies they ether blow up the car or it becomes carnage, its a shame we will be looking back at these movies in the future and ask ourselves ...... "what were they thinking". Some movies I do now.

Centre lock wheels are the clue but didn't really notice.
I just saw Catherine Zeta Jones' legs doing the steering.

Lots of Porsches in this summer's movies.

I don't remember the movie/trailer, but there's a line that goes something like this:

MAN- "It's a Porsche!"

LADY: "No it's not, it's a Boxster!!"

Ouch.

I laughed hard when I saw that trailer. My wife looked over and asked if I was happy that she talked me into a 911 instead of a Boxster.

What movie it it? I already forgot? Set the poor Boxster back again another 15 years.
