I saw a white 911 Turbo today in Campbell, parked along the street. That was nice enough, but what really set this Turbo apart was its Carrera red leather interior. Up until now, I had only seen this in pictures. I was thinking that if I had my choice of car, it would be a Turbo 4S, GT2 or a Cayman S with a Basalt black exterior and a Carrera red interior. Now I see that the Carrera red interior also goes well with a white exterior.
When I got home today, Porsche had sent me their monthly e-newsletter (how timely!). They were showing the new GT3, the “basic” 911, and the 918 hybrid. I’m still not convinced that I want or need a GT3 — too much speed (now with a 4 liter flat six engine!) and not enough comfort — but I would definitely take the other two. The new-look 911, now with 20″ tires, looks fantastic, and the 918 has always looked amazing (if it were at all available, and money were no object, I would own one. Alas, only 918 of these will be made, and I believe all of them have been spoken for — even at almost $700K per hybrid).
