718S Carmine Red / 981S Guards Red

[dreamcar]

Saw these two parked next to each other yesterday, 981 Boxster S in guards red and 718 Boxster S in Carmine red - not often you see the two reds together. The 718S looked absolutely stunning, the styling is starting to grow on me now but this was a particularly outstanding looking car.

Sober thought though, when I got home I priced the 718S up on the configurator and it came out £3,000 MORE than our 981GTS cost new - and our car has a host of expensive kit on it including PCCB!

The difference between my guards 981 and tornado red Golf is quite similar. Guards is much brighter in person than the photo implies.

Guards has more of a slight orange shade to it than tornado red, or the photograph - I have that colour on our Golf too.

Yes because not many want one (I like some bright colours but not GR)

Surprised they didn't think to discontinue it.....

Porsche are -traditionalists. They would no more delete guards red than they would the useless analogue speedometer!
