Default 2012 Amethyst Cayenne

just took delivery last weekend. Amethyst with black interior and extended high gloss blackout package. I know it's a controversial color but really happy how she turned out. Also happy with the 6 speed manual.. you never forget your driving and isn't that what a Porsche should be? Anyway hope you like the picks (sorry for the wrapping still on) hard to find real life photos of this color.

Very nice - wheels make the truck. With the manual, you are going to need the PSE or other aftermarket. It is so quiet, that it is tough to shift audibly.

Very nice choice! Like the colour and the wheels!

Why the straight black interior?

very true! I'm used to sticks on small loud cars, it does take some getting used to.

with the purple, I wanted to keep everything else as dead simple as possible. The standard black high gloss interior accents actually tie-in with the exterior high gloss blackout on front grill, mirrors, and windows - so it kind of worked out.

Great color (better than black) and glad to see a manual Cayenne.
