Does anyone have a picture of an actual 991 in Amaranth red ? The piocs on the configurator look vague. I really liked the Ruby red that has been discontinued. I believe that Amaranth is much lighter. Interested in a coupe. I saw the color on a convertible and liked it but not sure if it will look good on a coupe.

 

I had a '10 C2S Cabriolet in Ruby Red Metallic, and I'm currently (and anxiously) waiting for my ordered '14 C2S Coupe in Amaranth Red Metallic (mid-September). I love the new red color, but have only seen it in person on the '14 Caymans and Boxsters. To me, there's not a noticeable difference between the previous color (Ruby Red) and the new color.

Also, I thought about ordering the sunroof in glass option to add a little (black) contrast to the Amaranth Red, but ultimately decided that I liked the looks of the Coupe with the (red) steel sunroof much better.

You can see some pictures of the Coupe in Amaranth Red Metallic on the website for Porsche of Warwick (RI).

Hope this helps.

WOOW it looks good!

 

Amaranth Red is a bit lighter, with just a hint of Coral/Pink within it. Nice color, but I do prefer the outgoing ruby Red- which to my eyes is a bit more rich and more "red". YMMV.

 

Dave, not sure if you're still looking ...but I just aquired a very bare bones 14' S! Love the color - actually changes depending on the lighting.

 

That color was removed from the 991s online configurator awhile back. I wonder why, it's a beautiful red.

 

Such a Pretty Color!

 

Very nice looking color!

 

It certainly is a very nice color! Too bad, Porsche decided to remove this from the standard available colors for MY2015....

My beautiful car is Amaranth Red. I suspect that few people ordered it, that's why it was discontinued. It's really a great color; pictures don't do it justice. Aside from my little avatar, here's a link to the "other" forum with some good pics of my babby.

 

You really need to see that color in person.

 

Beemer, beautiful car ... I especially like the no sunroof and interior color. Mine is bare bones - manual & no sunroof as well, with 5mm wheel spacers, satin wheels, and sport exhaust as the only options!!
