Stephen:

Why you would like it in yellow is beyond me.
BTW, it's apparently a new yellow specifically for the Carrera GT. Here's another shot......

Factory test vehicle -- Porsche AG personnel were driving the car around Southern California with their computer hooked up and monitoring the car's vital signs. The exhaust sounds like no other Porsche I've ever heard. Almost as good as a Ferrari.

Fayance Yellow, first actual photo I have seen of the color.

The old man and I are going to Leipzig at the end of August for a customer exhibition day at the factory with the CarreraGT. Also get a test ride with a factory driver and a test drive of the TT or the GT3. Plenty of photos will be taken... if they will let us. Otherwise keep an eye out for a full report. We also arranged for a factory tour in Zuffenhausen.

I know I asked before on another forum, but is anybody going to this?
