If you know anything about the latest styles in Porsche's you would know this is a similar look as the Porsche Carrera GT. Don't be so quick to judge.

Funny how things come full circle, that console on the Carrera GT looks rather vintage.

My guess is that someone saw the factory show car and had them make a copy of it for the USA and this is it.
The car still has original paint and the code is 11H on the Glassurit web .
The interior was removed and cleaned, then reinstalled and its original.

That car is totally awesome! Great color combination!

Did you do the repaint? The car was pearl white before; did they use Imron/Centauri?

Normy this car is coated in its original paint, all i did was buff it a few times to get all of the water stains off of it ( was parked in the yard in reach of the sprinkler system).
Other than than that the paint code is 11H on the Glasurit web site, Elfenbein Perlglanz.
The interior is also original.
I did remove it to scrub it and also washed the all of the carpets then reinstalled them.

Thanks! Fikse FM/10s 17x9 and 17x10. They are my absolute favorite wheel design and when the chance came up to get them for a very reasonable price, I couldn't resist.

I just noted the white on the inside door panels, near the top. It looks like the car was white from the factory is all.

Normy this paint job is a different deal the color flops from a Butter color to a metallic silver with a hint of yellow when the sun hits it, none of the panels seem to match as they are all reflecting light in different ways.
But its the original paint
The white on the inside door panels might be the leather trimmed portion, color is pearl gray leather
