My New Turbo

I have been lurking here for a year now and had the itch since then for a Turbo. I happened to by the dealership and they just got in this car the day before, so I traded in the Cayman and the 911....

The car had way too many options, but I liked the way it was put together, so I took her home

The crappy pictures do not do it justice. The Lapis Blue in direct sunlight is amazing.

Only 18 miles on it. I am not sure I will be able to get through the break-in period without intervention

Beautiful. First Lapis TT I've seen. Is that Sea Blue?

Wow - very unique scheme - awesome - the break in period is almost as tough as the boat trip over

I like this color. Does it change hues depending on light conditions?

Looks great! My Boxster S was lapis blue, and many of my friends regarded it as the BEST color for the Boxster on a sunny day!

That being said, I agree with you. Pictures truly do not do the car justice and it must be seen in person to fully appreciate! Congrats!

It does. Depending on the lighting, it looks like Lapis Blue, Midnight Blue, Black , and purple.
