BiTurbo:By now it is absolutely clear that PAG is releasing all these stunning yellow test cars, for the single reason to convince our esteemed RC to change his order to .... YELLOW! Lets hear it for non-boring turbos!
Am I the only one that thinks that Racing Yellow (too bright), is an ugly color on most Porsches, except maybe the Cayman??
No, I agree yellow is an acquired taste, and may be another example of the preference differences between NA and Europe. But whenever I have seen a yellow turbo over here, anything from 993s onward to 997s, it just "pops" with such a happy, cheerful, and fun look. To me it gives the turbo a playful personality that the power perhaps deserves - OTOH the usual sombre shades of grey are perfect for those who want to appear very serious about their power. The biggest downside to yellow is that it more or less only works with black interior; and the attempts to lighten this with yellow seat belts or painted console etc are usually a bit tacky IMO.
Strange thing is that I like a 993 or even a 997 in yellow, but correct me if I'm wrong, those were Speed Yellow.
It's that Racing Yellow that I don't like for some unknown reason, especially on the Turbo. Maybe because it's a more pale yellow color?... I don't know.
