what color is this turbo?

saw this at my local dealer showroom. it was awaiting delivery. i sincerely hope it doesnt belong to anyone here but it was a pretty ugly. i dont think its a standard color so someone paid extra for it. it was a pinkish-bronze color. the picture actually does it justice. maybe it was just the lighting that day. and then, it had a beige interior. what color is it?

Yes it does look lighter...I looked at porsche's website and this is the closet color to what is listed...Maybe it's a special order...

Yep! That reminds me of something Mr. Ford said years ago... "You can have any color you want... so long as it's black!"

Words I've sometimes lived by!
