Turbo S

Took delivery a couple of weeks ago. Guards/Cocoa. Aero package. Black wheels, red belts and chrono, leather center console.

Amazing!



Some pics, including old versus new (07 997TTnow in the hands of a friend).

gorgeous. Love the white led lights on a red car...

I wonder if it would look better if you tried painting the center lock black as well (bar the crest of course). Considering how often you take on-off the wheels it could be worth a shot, plain spray paint and clear coat.

Also how come the center grill is black and the sides are grey painted?

Interior

Interior shots. By dealer, with flash. So the cocoa appears very brown, when it is actually very dark with black in it.

911's wear red so well! I often forget just how good they look until I see pictures like that. Beautiful!!!

Nice touch on the chrono gauge as well!

Meet

Have had some offline discussion about meeting next Saturday at Irvine Cars/Coffee (unless rain). I attend every Sat, give you LA guys a chance to wring the cars out on an uncrowded early morning 405! Figure you need to arrive 630-700 latest.

I will come with my 2005 Turbo S. I live in Irvine. If we meet around 5:00am, I will show you a great place to have a few high energy runs before hand.

Here is one with a 620 AWHP GT-R.

Here is one with a BBI built 997TT and my 2005 996 TT S Cab.

Two 997TT's (one black 700HP Protomotive) and the 650 HP BBI Red 997TT.

Wow!!! I am green...

Definitely would LOVE to see the very rare red/cocoa combo. My Turbo is red/beige and I've always had second thought about red/cocoa. Congrats and drive in good health.
