Default Hi all,

I'm looking to purchase a 997tt and in particular I'm after a Carmon/ carmona red with manual transmission.

I've located a car that fits the bill except it's a tip. I haven't dismissed it completely, but I strongly prefer a manual. Since this group may know better than most, I'd like to gauge the likelihood of finding a manual 997tt in Carmon red. Does anyone know the build numbers in various configurations? I'm tempted to just go with the tip, but it changes the car a bit for me.

Am I waiting on a unicorn? Thanks guys.

Tim

Porsche doesn't publish build information by color. Search around here and you should be able to find some statistical analysis that was done based on VIN numbers and cars for sale in the US.

As you would expect, the majority of 997 turbos are black, silver, and gray.
