Does anyone have a picture of a Vesuvio metallic 911?

I am going to look at a '99 coupe and I can not figure out what this color looks like. Is it some sort of grey? Can some one please post a pic if you have one. Thanks

I saw a pic once. It is not for me It was like...PURPLE! If I remember correctly

hope these help

thanks MSRC2 I guess that is a purple. I an guessing not many 996's in this color. Should be interesting to see it in person.

It looks like a grey/purple in specific light, reality it's quite a nice colour, I don't think the purple is dominating, suggest see it, I nearly bought one. AD

I think it is the best color I've seen on a Porsche. There is a 16k mile '99 cab in this color for sale on ebay as we speak.

I think it looks like one of those colors that I say" I hope they got a good deal on that one" To each his own I guess. If you like it, buy it. Your the one that counts. It's a 911 baby

Heres 1 more of a cab. I forgot to post....Actually the color looks pretty nice to me.

i think it's hot.. if you're comfortable with your masculenity, i don't see anything wrong with it.. with all these white/silver/black porsches running around, it's nice to see something refreshing, but not too horrid.. like that light turquoise one.. i'd drive that cab any day..

Could for an alum from the U.W. or an eggplant farmer

Well, I'll see it in person on Monday. It has the Areo kit, 030 Chassis, 18" Sport Design Wheels, and some other things. Not sure about the color just yet. Although it would look great next to Mom's '71 Road Runner.

Unique. I like it.

Wow! That's a color i'd have to see in person. I've looked over those pics half a dozen times now and still can't make up my mind. I think if it was darker it would be a no brainer. Still don't think I'd buy one in that color though.

i like it... think it works with the coupe alot better than it does with the cab

its a very prismatic colour, in certain light conditions (overcast, or nighttime) it looks dark grey. in direct and indirect light, it has a very pronounced purple tone to it. personally i love colours like this, like the colours TVR uses on their cars. i would be worried about potential difficulty when repainting / reparing though

By brother bought a BMW cab that was called Techno Violet which we only saw in pictures so we were not absolutely sure what it would look like "in person". It looked similar to this and it turned out awesome! I don't think I've ever seen a car color even close till now.

Azure Blue? does it have shades of blue-purple...? My friends old C4S was Azure blue and it looked hot... tough to tell from the pic alone.

I saw the car on Monday afternoon. It really is a love it or hate it type of color. The PIC by DKuehn is very close. The car was a 99 C4 with some nice options. I would have been interested in it until I saw the condition. It was disgustingly dirty. It had 38k on the clock and I don't think it was ever cleaned. I kid you not, there was a heavy layer of dirt and dust on the inside. But to be fair the car had not been detailed yet and the dealer is going to try a make it a CPO car. Then I looked at the engine compartment. I nearly fell over from the amount of dirt, leaves, and sticks I found in there. So sad I thought. Did they use this car for landscaping? After I ditched the sales guy I went over to talk with the Techs which a friend who was with me knew very well (always a good thing). They showed the warranty work which included two repaints, ignition switches, two RMS, and few other little things. I didn't see any 15k or 30k services on there. How sad is that. The only upside to this is there are lots of 996's and sooner or later a good will find me.
