Default 918 - 1 of 1 Rivera Blue

An acquantance of mine just recieved his 918. I think it is number 78 (?).

Rivera Blue - red interior, full carbon fiber, Magnesium Wheels and a few other options. Just saw this at his "museum" garage - very impressive car and color combo.

BTW - his son has 918 number 36 - liquid metal silver/black

Amazing color combo! I think that color combo will works very nice in the sun! What is that for a color on the 991 (not the red one, the other one in the background)? looks interesting!

Great use of the red microfiber towel. That's a true enthusiast.

yes - Lime gold metallic is the color on the 991

Also a freshly restored 1965 911 in Ivory White over red. He had it done in house at his dealership. Probably one of the best restorations that I have ever seen. My wife picked that one over all of his other cars as her choice.

Also in the museum:
-An original slopenose (1 of 28 (?))
-2010 Ferrari 458 racing red (red/orange) over black with red stitching - gorgeous
-Pano executive turboS with HREs and maxed out oprtions -black/black
-2010 GT2 - red/black with red stitching
-991 TurboS cab - 1 in white/red and another in black/red

-sold:
-2 57 speedsters (perfect condition)
-62 356 outlaw (I wanted to buy that one - really bad)
-993 slopenose (yes - they had two)
-87 Slantnose turbo with only 2500 actual miles
-Carrera GT - white/black
-918 turbo edition - black/acid green stitching (very cool)
-and more that I do not know about

Thank you for sharing. Amazing collection. Any idea why he sold the slant nose or the Carrera GT?

To make room for their first 918. The liquid metal silver one

There are more cars, but I do not want to speak for them. Its their garage and I am lucky enough to go into it when invited.

I love the blue exterior, the red interior not so much. And I'm a guy who generally loves red.
