Boxster in RSR Orange


http://www.germancarblog.com/2007/04/porsche-splashlight-boxster-one-of-kind.html

"How do you make the Boxster better? First, make sure there's an "S" badge on the boot and second, let Stuttgart's finest loose with some GT3 RS orange, acres of Alcantara and some time in the wind tunnel.

The result was displayed across the street from the Javits Center in New York City, but for some reason, we missed its atomic orange hue from a distance.

Regardless, the people at Porsche decided to tweak the Boxster in all the right places, beginning with the exterior. The aforementioned paint job is complemented by a set of black wheels with a polished lip, along with blacked-out wing mirrors and air intakes. The SportDesign package adds an integrated rear diffuser, front lip spoiler and the automatically deploying aerofoil to reduce lift and look trick. The only significant piece of go-fast goodness is the custom exhaust that sports a duo of "unique" tips.

On the inside, occupants are greeted with Alcantara seat inserts, while the driver gets to engage both a steering wheel and a park brake lever swathed in the sexy suede-like material. The exterior's color finds its way inside, lining the dash-mounted cup holder's cover, the door lever recesses and the layout of the shift pattern on the gear lever.

While this is all well and good, what does it portend for the future? Expected a limited edition Boxster at your local Porsche dealers this summer."autoblog

Looks cool, but I'm still no fan of that color on any car. NO FLURECENT OR DAGLOW COLORS for me. To dam bright. Those colors belong on bikinis not on cars.

You can now select RS Orange on Porsche's 987 configurator. This option is only available on some of the european-language versions.

The darker hue in the first picture is hot.

The second orange one, with the orange wheels is hideous.

I also like the first pic (not the one with orange wheels). I also thing that the car should come preloaded with Led Zep's "Tangerine".
