Most sports cars look pretty good in red. You may get more tickets driving one, but you’ll feel pretty awesome until then, and soon after. But you know what’s even sweeter than a sports car with a red exterior? A sports car with a red interior.
The folks at Porsche Exclusive know that at least as well as the rest of us. Just look at this 911.
It’s a Carrera S Cabriolet, which (starting at $117k) is hardly a cheap car. But neither is it the most expensive in the 911 lineup. A Turbo cabrio starts pushing $200k, and a new GT2 RS starts nudging up against the $300k mark quicker than it reaches its redline.
It’s one step above the base Carrera, though. So instead of 365 hp (272 kW), the S model packs 414 (309 kW). And that’s more than the similarly twin-turbocharged flat six in the mid-90s 993-gen Turbo offered (with its 402 hp/300 kW).
This particular Cabrio is also painted a rather understated shade of GT Silver Metallic. Which we don’t doubt looks great up close, but it’s hardly the most eye-catching color. No, what sets this apart is the interior.
Porsche Exclusive has upholstered this rear-engined drop-top in Bordeaux. The deep shade of red is offset nicely by some touches of black. Which is a good thing, because red leather can get to be too much rather quickly. But in this case, it looks pretty damn good to us. And driving around town in a six-figure European drop-top with a red interior is about as “money” as money gets.
