Unusual Color Combo

I spotted this for sale on Ebay. It is one of the more unusual color combinations that I have seen (and actually like...unlike the Nephrite green interiors). If I was in the market for a 996TT, I might be tempted. It's Ebay item # 310012195221. I fear it might be called pimp red . Am I the only one that likes this combination?

too much red. it would have been perfect with natural cocoa brown interior.

it's a turbo so it's okay to be very red!! just put a couple of CF parts in it...center console etc.

We could put a white console (rear and front) along with a few other touches of exterior color in there, and that would soften the interior just perfectly. Nice one.

Nicolaas, you are right, CF would add to the appearance. Eric, nothing beats the look of your body colored consoles.

Normally I don't like white, but it sure looks stunning on the TT. It's a bit much red for me... would have preferred a cinnamon brown or something, but some CF or some of Eric's part and you should be in business.

Hey Mark, a black 3 spoke would really tone down the "red"...just kidding, it's not for sale. If the price is right live on the edge and go for it. I do like the white exterior though.

Great looking,white accents would make it even better.

It's like lipstick on a snowman. A snowhooker.

Beautiful car - all that red would be like climbing into hell everyday.

I like the white but I prefer my red on the outside of the car...not a car 4 me

wow....i always felt that red was much better suited on the interiors of vettes or mustangs. The white wheels and dark tints however really make the car look awesome. At least the inside matches the brakes. j

LOL! Then you get out of it and walk into the office where it's hell all over again.

My eyes! All that red is burning away at my retinas. ... you can take it that it's a little too red for me.

White over red? I think it works great on that car. Would I order it? No, but it's hot.

Saw an old Eldorado in that combo, dude with a big hat driving it

Unfortunately, I am not in the market for a 996TT at this time. What I gather from the majority of the replies, is that I would have to wear this outfit while driving that car...

Maybe I could get my wife to wear this...then we would both match the interior.

If I had the cash to order a new one I wouldnt order that but on a used one for a good price I would own it- different is good right?

I would rather be water-boarded

I like the exterior color, I don’t like the way the white wheels look and with an interior looking like that I wouldn’t need to stick my finger down my throat to throw up. JMHO

I'm not feeling it.....

It's not the first time I see red on white. I almost bought a 993 like that and seen it on numerous 996. Even though I love Eric's work with rear center console in body color, I personally wouldn't put any white inside. It would make it look like a candy cane. I would go more toward CF on this one.

I like the combination. It does need something to break up the red on the upper center console and the A/C vents. I would buy it if I was in the market.

Thanks for the opinions guys. It is definately one that you either love or hate. The interior reminds me a little of a Gullwing Mercedes that sold at Barrett-Jackson. It was silver, with a bright red interior....I absolutely loved it. Speaking of Barrett-Jackson, Just one more week before 40 hours of car guy heaven on the Speed Channel.

if it were black maybe

it looks very red but it's the camera's flash , it's terracotta i have it in my car and it's much "browner" in daylight Sorry for the poor quality , phone camera , the first with the flash , the other without it. see ya all and have fun

Those are two different colors...his is red (as advertised)... I like yours much better (see my earlier post... would have preferred the white with a cinnamon brown or something like that)

The ad said the interior was leather to sample, so it is red.

Nah. Forget carbon fiber. What the car needs is a little bit of yellow. https://rennlist.com/forums/996-turbo-forum/156299-x50-exterior-pics-black-wheels.html

Yeah, I remember Donny's car. You know he had the yellow repainted to red prior to selling it.

LOL...as i scrolled thru those pictures of the red and yellow....i couldn't help but laugh out loud. That is really wild stuff. i must say that from rear...the color combo looks pretty fantastic....nothing i'd buy myself...but neat to see on someone else's car. J

pretty flashy and i've seen worse on this forum. i'd say get it if you like it.
