I almost bought a 993 Turbo in those colors many years ago. It was a Cincinnati car. I think it now lives in Canada.

I have Carrera Red in my 2009, on GT Silver exterior.

You should know that it NEVER photographs right - in the pics it always looks like a LeBaron interior.

In person it's extremely striking and gets compliments wherever I go.

I think the white trim pushes it over.

LOL - I have no problem with it at all. Maybe not my preferred if ordering the car but I can think of many worse combos. But then again, I've had 4 other cars in that combo. 1 Mondial, 2 Corvette convertibles and 1 Eldo Convertible. What can I say ? It must be a Florida thing !!

Bordello Red is a better name for that. I like red accents in vehicles, but that's too much of a good thing for me!

Way different in person is right. I'm a fan.

I was actually looking for that combo before I bought mine but I would want the carpets to be black. That's just too much red to look at for me

If that car had a black dash, and the 2 tone black and red door panels it would be stunning.

White and red is a classic combo... IMO

The red isn't too bad actually. For me the white interior trim is what is throwing it off. Not a terrible combo IMO, lose the white interior trim and it's OK

I dig it too, white on red is a classic combo, had it on my E92 M3. The white interior trim is a little much but I could live with it.
