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…

Gorgeous!

Would match my wife's car nicely!

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

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

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.

Hi guys, I was told that my recent creation had made it on to the forums on here so I thought I'd take some more pictures of the Fashion Grey 991 C2S Coupe for you. OPC Glasgow have ordered 8 colour to sample cars and 4 of them arrived so far. We also have a Fashion Grey 991 C2 Cab and Boxster 2.7. I will try to upload some pictures of the other cars over the next few days. Enjoy!!

Very nice job, Craig - as I said in the showroom, that's the first 991 that's stopped me in my tracks and made me go count pennies! - Richard
