911 (991) [Official] Porsche 911 Turbo & Turbo S (991) facelift


The Porsche 991 is the seventh generation of the Porsche 911 sports car, produced from September 2011 to December 2019. It was unveiled at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show on 15 September as the replacement for the 997.
Thanks for the clarification. Not a comment I've ever heard in Porsche fan circles in California but a good reminder this a global forum. Still find it offensive personally but there are lots of slang terms that have dubious origins that society has forgotten. Meanings change over time and are different in different countries.

It's the reason I asked instead of attacking the commentator.

The JRG term is not meant to be offensive. It's just that this particular color was very popular with the Jewish community in the 1960's-1990's. In those days, you often saw Volvo's, Mercedes, BMW, Jaguars in this color or something similar such as Champagne, glossy brown, or metallic brown.

Couldn't help but chuckle when I heard that. Used to be a rather common phrase back in the 80's and 90's for folks who riced gold VW Golf and Volvos. Wasn't viewed as derogatory then

Personally, I feel that the term is nevertheless derogatory and tainted with a measure of prejudice.
Still, I felt it important to point out that Wunderkind was, himself, not using the term in a pejorative manner.
Well said. And learning it was common in the 80's and 90's explains why I hadn't heard it. I was a poor student then and not part of the scene in any way then.

It's an absolute champ for an ultimate edition but it's soooooooooo expensive it probably even makes owners of a standard 991 Turbo feel poor.
 
Porsche 911 Turbo S' Custom Factory Paint Job Costs Almost $100K
Would you believe ordering this paint costs more than a base 911?

Porsche Exclusive will fulfill any desire for its clients, but the customization comes at a cost – sometimes quite a high one. For example, the German sports car maker’s bespoke production division recently completed a 911 Turbo S in a unique color called Python Green Chromaflair. The options sheet also popped up online, and the chartreuse shade cost a mind-boggling 82,645.50 euros ($97,395 at current exchange rates). Adding the grassy color Aero Kit was an extra 928.20 euros ($1,094). The cumulative cost of the paint was more than a 911 Carrera’sbase price of $92,150 after destination in the United States.

The Python Green paint has a gorgeous finish. There’s a vaguely opalescent effect, which is most evident in these photos around the headlights, on the mirrors, and along the tail. This causes the shade to vary between a deep shade of green and a hue that’s closer to yellow.

The options sheet shows that there is extensive customization inside the coupe, too. The upholstery includes lots of Acid Green touches, and there’s Graphite Blue covering certain areas, too. The cabin also features a Burmester surround sound system.

The 911 Turbo S starts at $162,850. With over 100,000 euros (117,890) in options, this highly customized example costs more than Porsche’s own $257,500 911 Turbo S Exclusive. The only thing missing from this sage-colored coupe is the Exclusive’s power bump that takes the 3.8-liter biturbo flat six to 607 horsepower (446 kilowatts) – 27 hp (20 kW) more than stock.

The Instagram account showcasing this green machine reports that Porsche Exclusive only builds five vehicles with the Chromaflair paint each year. The firm also offers the special finish in blue, gold, and violet.

Wow, that's insane.

Slightly related: There's this guy in NYC that only drives RR Autobiographies in the same color. He get's a new one every year.

I don't understand; the color is obnoxious.

Didn't know Land Rover did custom colors.

It's more chameleon green than phyton green.

True, but Chromaflair is a trademarked chameleon finish, which is why it costs too damn much. That Turbo S would have the same chameleon effect with different lighting.
