First RS in London

[mromano]

was at Chiswick Porsche yesterday.
I happened to be passing and saw this under wraps.
I thought these would not be on the roads until January.
I was told the lucky chap will be driving it today - shame about the rain.
Almost identical spec to mine except I also order PCCB's.

The coulour is so thick and rich - it looks truelly outrageous - I loved it, a very dramatic car.
The wide body and the black wheels also look better in the metal than the picture shows. I think it is the best looking porsche road car to date.
The RS will stand out against almost anything.
So overall I think it looks better in the metal than the pictures and they look good already.

Here are some pictures if I can make this stuff work:

Clive Sutton (nr St Johns wood) has had one in his window for a couple of days now...

I'm pretty sure Clive Suttons is a Gemballa GTR, not an RS

oh and another photo:

Is this picture an accurate representation of what the colour actually looked like? Somehow, it seems less "orange" than I was expecting.

[mromano]

Actually it is more orange than the picture - more like McLaren orange - a deeper thicker colour - tje light s make it look metalic which it is not.
A freind of mine who also saw it said the exact same thing about the colour in the pictures...

You sound suspiciously like the memsa'ab.
