Default Pink 991

I'll call them tomorrow and see what the story was. I'm dying to know.


Anyone want to take guesses?

No guesses but, unfortunately, that pic is burned into my memory. Make it go away!

lol.

Sorry. It cannot be undone!

I was thinking "because race car" but that's too easy.

There has to be a reason this car would be ordered this color.

Well this just goes to show how far off all the "face lift" speculations have been! I heard they were working on a new color palette and have been asking around but nobody had anything concrete until now. Of course the ad says "custom" which could mean PTS, or could just as easily be an early introduction model. I was expecting pastel blues and purples, heard something about patterns even, but was really not expecting anything more until Easter.

Looks like someone mixed in a white Carrera with a bunch of red ones in the car wash ...

I've seen that car - it's not pink. That's just a bad photo with strange lighting.

It's sort of a cream/beige color. Not terribly attractive in my eyes, but definitely not pink.

Unfortunately it's not pink...

I would like a pink 991!!! Preferably Bentley's "passion pink"
This car is Apricot beige and they just put very bad pictures on ebay.

This is the color in a better picture

Walters also has a light blue, in the Gulf blue range, but probably a little darker.

Yeah, I agree. That KILLS the car. Platinum wheels would look great against the blue.

I think platinum wheels, spray the rear spoiler gulf orange and the Sport design front lip gulf orange and that would be a killer car

The Gulf theme wouldn't be too far off adding some orange to that other car I agree!

Thanks Suzy!

Leave it to the girl to correctly post the actual color of that car. I looked at it on my laptop and my phone before the post and they both looked pink!

Just think of the thousands of Mary Kay sales people crushed now knowing the car isn't pink. What a bummer. Ha ha.
