Very cool except the wheels are lame. Would love to see a photoshop of that car with gold HRE p40's (or black).

The gold, best sub for p-silver, but black hood spoils a gorgeous paint job.

Everything looks nice except the wheels, looks way too outdated for a newer Porsche. Matches with classic 911, not so much with the newer ones.

The old school fuch's look out of place on the 997. But I'll bet there a bunch of guys with 80's Turbos just waiting to buy them since they are stuck with 16" if they stay stock.

WOW! I thought the first world did away with prejudiced stereotyping!

I'm from the third world and can't stand anything in gold.

Talking

Even though I'm not a fan of a gold car at all, i think this car has a real show car look against the black background....a great promo brochure shot. The interior, and the blend of black color of the wheels, bonnet and rear spoiler against the gold paintwork works really well IMO. I don't believe this look would hold the same impact in the traffic or on a track.....maybe as a collectors car parked in a showcase garage of other expensive Marques...

Just found the price tag for the car:

3.488e+06 Chinese yuan or approximately $537K.

no wonder it´s limited to 10 pieces only

The Fuchs totally don't fit in my opinion. Don't particularly care for the external color. Prefer the interior without the gold stitching. Love the thicker steering wheel and definitely love the black gauges.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
