That looks like Macadamia Metallic with Natural Brown interior.

Thanks! You sir, are right! I emailed the guy selling it and that's what he said. Going to have to find one of these I think!

I wonder how rare this color is??

This is such a sick color. My recent experience leads to believe that this color is pretty rare when compared to more common colors like white, black, and shades of grey. I would guess this has lower production numbers than the reds and yellows.

If I were ever building a new Porsche, Macadamia is the only color I'd consider. It is gorgeous, and Porsche's historically have been great in brown. Gorgeous car

I saw my first 997 Turbo many years ago in this color (or at least one very close to it) and looks great in person.

Yeah, isn't the color amazing? Too bad this one has too many miles for me.. I think it was around 57k miles. Kinda a bummer because this car is local to me too.

Well if any of you fellow 6speeders see a decently priced Macadamia Metallic 997 TT around that doesn't have a ton of miles on it, please PM me

I'm on Porsche.com and did a search for brown 911's and it found a lot in this color!

too bad about the mileage, it's a good looking car. Love that color, have yet to see one in person.

I know! Why couldn't this have 30k or less?

I'm looking for a 997.1 TT. I only found one on porsche.com that was a coupe and the coupe is gone now that I checked again. 3 convertibles are available but a vert isn't going to work for me.
