Fashion Grey (Mode Grau) 991S

[Technomad]

I've always loved the Fashion Grey they did the Sports Classic in and have, to date, never particularly warmed to the 991. Was in OPC Glasgow today having the winters swapped over and spotted this - it's a 991S ordered for stock with the ducktail, in Fashion Grey (colour match) and with the brushed alu interior. It looks, imho, absolutely stunning and not at all like they forgot to put the final coat over the primer ;-) The picture does not do it justice…

That looks white to me, maybe I'm colour blind

Two hairdresser's cars in the family?

[rob.kellock]

Absolutely.

Keep wanting to change my BMW for an Alpina then we can have 3 cars with stripes on them.

And that looks pretty damn good too. What do they call the colour on the Fiat?

It must just be a similar colour as the grey on the 911 Sport Classic is called... Sport Classic grey.

That's absolutely stunning , there's an old 356 colour ( very similar with a hint of green ) that would look awesome too .

[IMI A]

wow first 991 ive seen and thought I'd like that

[Scott Parker]

I wanted this colour when I ordered mine but was told I couldn't get it. Maybe due to the Sport Classic but looks like they may of changed their minds (if that's the Sport Clasic grey???)

my old Clio


love this car

Campovolo, fancied my next Abarth in that colour, but not sure it would make the stter any more reliable or not!

I had thought that the Sport Classic grey was "retired"....and not selectable.

wow, that is lovely, great colour and with the ducktail too, superb!

Interesting discussion on Rennlist about this: http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/997-forum/55...

including the assertion - wrt the Sport Classic - that, 'This is supposed to be the same color as modegrau (Stylish Gray) used in 1952, also supposed to be the same as the Champion Motorsports color "Man From Chile."'

Quite what the difference is to the Sport Classic Grey, I don't know - it does look very very similar. Would be interesting to put the two side by side.
