When it was introduced has been answered. How I feel... I like it from an aesthetic perspective, and I'm glad it was made. If everything was black, silver or red, life would be boring. Don't think I'd buy it at the moment. Why? It's like a garish pair of plaid pants on the golf course. You really have to know your stuff to pull it off. If you're lapping guys at the DE events in a pink 911, it's ultra-badass. If not, you're a dude in a pink car.

Definitely stands out from the crowd. My only beef is the clash between the tail lights and the body color. But if that is it, then enjoy your uniqueness and like stated above, make sure you can drive it better than anyone else.

I believe this car was originally presented in Munich as the top sales award for Mary Kaye cosmetics.

i think if the decals were black and not orange it would look a bit better.

I love the orange. Ah, well, we each have our own thing.

Deep down I shouldn't like it, but I agree, if you're on a track beating the snot out of everyone else, you should have a grin :D. I'm not advocating this color, It surly would not be my first pick, but I dono? it's kinda growing on me. Maybe because Black, red, yellow, green, brown, grey, and white have been done sooooo many times. I still like the "safe" colors but maybe the uniqueness is what's attractive and not the color? For the time being, I like it.

I have an "ST-inspired" car that is Fraise - translated as either raspberry or strawberry... I would attach a pic but I can't seem to do it right now.

Agreed.
