Take care,

My Turbo 3.6 had the same interior. Out of all the Porsches I have owned, that's the best colour. Looks awesome I reckon.

Thanks guys! Yeah I really do like it. Wasn't too sure until I saw it in person at Tim Holts in West Chester PA.

It wasn't as bright in person, so after a test drive(big mistake) I was hooked and bought it.

I'm loving every minute of ownership!

Take care!

My COA calls it special leather terracotta.

The copy of the window sticker says Boxster Red.

Looks like Porsche has many names for the same color......either way, I LIKE!

I love the color scheme. My favourite from the 80's was black with Can Can red leather interior. This is kind of like the new that.

You are almost right, but not entirely. Names are names, but the fact is that the photos do not do the justice because they quality is reduced due to the web site limitations. 1996 was the last year that the Flamenco Red was offered by Porsche. The Boxster Red was available in 1997 as the introduction of Boxster to the market. There are two reasons that I know this, other then the obvious. I had 1996 C4S in Polar Silver and Flamenco Red, I liked the combo, so paid costume to have the same colors in my new 993tt for 1997. The other reason is that my brother had Boxster with Boxster Red interior and the two colors are very distinctive in color from each other. One has to see it in person to clearly appreciate their difference. Nevertheless, both red's are a great combo for Porsche cars and their enthusiasts! Thanks for your great comments!

I really like the contrasting black bits with the red interior. Looks great. Consider black mats, shifter, etc, it really looks cool.

Enjoy that car!

Looks about a decade newer than a 1998.
