Not enough 911 variety, so how about bad colors?



I always wanted a brown 911. Now my dream can finally come true. That's Cognac Metallic by the way. It only costs an extra $3140!

Blurb on Autoblog

Car Config Here
I'm just kidding about the variety since the updated configuration thing on their website has 26 models of 911's... granted they have the old style 911 and new one on there (so base Carrera and Carrera S overlap with the new ones).

For those keeping count...

The New 911 Carrera
The New 911 Carrera S
911 Carrera Cabriolet
911 Carrera S Cabriolet
911 Carrera 4
911 Carrera 4S
911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet
911 Carrera 4S Cabriolet
911 Carrera GTS
911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet
911 Carrera 4 GTS
911 Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet
911 Black Edition
911 Black Edition Cabriolet
911 Targa 4
911 Targa 4S
911 Turbo
911 Turbo S
911 Turbo Cabriolet
911 Turbo S Cabriolet
911 GT3
911 GT3 RS
911 GT3 RS 4.0
911 GT2 RS
911 Carrera
911 Carrera S

If only GM had this many Corvettes...

I actually like it. It looks more orange than brown to me, like a deep burnt orange, if that makes any sense... I bet it looks awesome in sunlight, that pic looks to have been taken in low light.

That's hot!

I remember as a kid seeing a metallic brown 911 Targa (with a black vinyl top) and thinking "dang that's a hot car".

I'm a Texas alumnus so I am well versed in burnt orange

I can't say I like this one though, even if it does have a hint of orange.

I have raised my son on my own since he was 6 months old. And let me tell you, I changed a lot of diapers and have seen that color many times. YUCK!!!!

That color is terrible. And are those turn signals in the front bumper, just above the grille? The pic makes the car look like it wasn't painted properly (I know it's photoshop, but it looks like it isn't finished).

Apparently they already had this color on the Panamera. Here is a real picture of it:



Another one



Here is a 911

It probably is pretty lighting dependent like Sunset Orange Metallic.

I thought it looked like a loaded diaper as well.

You can't polish a turd, but you can paint a car to look like one.
