This shade is Golden Yellow Metallic and is one of just three on the Exclusive Series Turbo S for 2018. Favorite detail photo photographer James Crabtree? The carbon front fender slices! [Whoops, those are GT2RS] In fact, all the air vents and addenda on this beauty are bare carbon to contrast the paintwork. But no front fender slashes here. The engine cover with CF intake snorkel is a delightfully exclusive touch indeed …

Here is one near and dear to the heart. The red dream crosses the block this August at the RM Sotheby’s Monterey, California auctions. These take place the week of the nearby Pebble Beach concours.

Custom Flashback – 2009 MANSORY Chopster Was Carbon Widebody Cayenne Turbo S

Mansory Switzerland was the proud owner of this fantastic Porsche Cayenne upgrade, which was built just in time for the Frankfurt motor show in 2009. But first things first: yes, there was a Chopster before — from Rinspeed in 2005. As discussed in this other article, there are major issues with actually chopping the roof of a production car: the doors, glass and everything else is suddenly not OEM-safe or secure for true high-performance driving. The Mansory technique maintains the Porsche glasshouse and structural elements, but swaps its steel exterior for carbon-fiber all around. A width stretch of around four …
