Could be worse. He could have bought a LAMBO.

The owner should contact these gents immediately! But do they do Plasti-dip for the interior tho?

The owner must be colorblind. I showed the photos to some of my colleagues joking it was my new ordered Porsche. The only one not disgusted by the photos admitted he was actually colorblind. That is the worst color combo I have ever seen in a car. Can anyone top this?

I think the photos in the OP make it a bit worse than it is, with sunshine on the yellow and shadow on the red. The auto white balance of the camera is also unlikely to be reasonable with so much red.

The yellow wheels on the other hand don't work for me.

Wow I'm surprised they could order it that color combo. Maybe the one good thing is that it won't get stolen.

It could be rescued... swap the wheels out for some (any!) others, as long as they're not coloured... and swap out the painted yellow trim with aluminium, re-cover the roof in black (if that's possible).

This car is really an easy fix. Change the wheels to some silver variant. Swap out the Racing Yellow painted trip with carbon fiber (match the steering wheel). Go back to standard air vents. Done. The red top is a bit bold, but works with the red tail lights and 4S light bar.

Left as is, in 30 years, this car will be the talk of 991.1s at the Porsche Parade.

With so much attention on the yellow car, I just noticed the white C4S has a nice set of white wheels!

With hands tied behind my back. Exclusive has a long sordid history of accepting orders from customers who should have been sent to Pagani and told never to come back.





This Nephrite Green 996 was actually a standard Full Leather interior option on Boxsters and Carreras:



And I don't even know what to say about this:

That Joker interior is awful, the 90s did suck, I can't even listen to Grunge anymore.
