Default car hit dealer. carmine red

delivery on Monday after my work. can't wait. The carmine almost looks like guards in some lights and is much darker in other shots. The yellow stitching is insane.

Will be doing clearbra and the motorsport side and hood/roof/wing stripes next weekend

This is first GT4 delivery to champion. Two white cars and my carmine. one of the white are has LWB seats.

Congratulations. At least one of us was able to get a car from Champion! I placed an early February deposit at Champion and came to realize I had a snowball's chance in hell of getting an allocation. I was eventually able to place an order through another dealer, and my sapphire blue GT4 is scheduled to arrive in November. I live down in Weston so I may see you around.

I was just at Champion to see these cars in the metal and all I can say is that Carmine is simply stunning. Yellow stitches and PCCBs makes this one truly special! The steering column in leather is BOSS!

They all had shipping wrap on everything so I couldn't see the LWBs on one of the white ones. The wing is bigger than I thought it would be! The uprights bother me, the plasticky mounts and too light silvery color make them look flimsy IMO. Black is better but the mounts look very 'first gen' if that makes any sense. Overall, amazing tho. Can't wait till October for mine

Wow, that yellow does pop nicely.

I had yellow belts and gauges on my CS to match my PCCB. I would have loved to get yellow stitching on the gt4, but didn't want the clash with the 'regular' big reds.

Congrats on delivery!

Damn, theres another one not satisfied with the uprights. I really need to see these in person.

number 9, keep tabs with my thread here: https://rennlist.com/forums/gt4/8845...-interest.html as I will be working on a solution.

That is a beautiful deep red, and the yellow stitching really stands out and rocks.
I'm not familiar with Carmine red, is it solid or metallic?

I stopped by Champion this morning to check out the GT4s, and saw your car getting prepped. It looks amazing. I took a picture on my phone but the lighting was wrong and doesn't do it justice.

I also took a quick look at the two white GT4s as well, and, although it's a matter of personal preference, I liked the Carmine Red a lot better. I think the Motorsports cars deserve cool colors. I'm very jealous...Enjoy picking it up later today!

Carmine is non-metallic. pictures don't do the color justice. also saw the color on a Cayenne or Panamera and it was just ok. Saw on cayman and boxter and was stunning. there is not one paint to sample color I'd prefer over carmine.

pick up car in 5 hours. just trying to get through my day...

Thanks. There seems to be a growing list of people seeing my car before me.
