It's not really ordered yet, although I'm planning to do so tomorrow or next week. Not quite sure about the interior yet and yes a Turbo S.
It is indeed a Color to Sample order. It's the color that was shown on the frankfurt motorshow.

Here's a picture of it:

I thought you were thinking about the 50th Anniversary Model for awhile.
Turbo S is, to me, a better car. Envy....

I was indeed, but changed my mind when I first saw the car in person in Stuttgart and after that i went for a C4S, but ended up driving the turbo S last week and I was blown away. Never was a big fan of the previous 911Turbo cars and to be completely honest also not a fan of the 991 Turbo, untill I saw it at the frankfurt motorshow in that beautiful color. that drive last week changed my mind completely about the 991 Turbo. I still think the C4S is better looking, but the Turbo S is for me the car to go for.

Caught a glimpse of lime gold a few days ago in Miami (not even sure if it was a Cayman or a 911 as it happened so fast and was then gone) and all I can say is, "Wow!" A very nice color.

When I ordered my Lime Gold C4, the dealer asked for a non-refundable deposit, explaining that if I did not take delivery he would have to heavily discount to sell the car.

Exactly what is your point? You have discerning taste and your dealer wants to hedge your good judgment? Your dealer was more concerned with selling a C2 that would have the extra cost for the paint. Most LG cars are heavily optioned. I'm surprised Porsche permits special order colors on leased base cars, but they do. Profits! Of course, I get aggravated, slightly, when guys wear jeans and t shirts in expensive restaurants.
