Color question on a 997

Hi guys,
I've seen this picture of an amazing 997 shown by Porsche on a meeting last year:



Does anybody know the name/code of that color?

Here a similar (maybe the same?) on a TechArt:
Techart GT Street R | Flickr - Photo Sharing!

Greetings
Tobi

Looks like a Lambo color. Def not a Porsche OEM color.

Are you sure? Did you wait for the cabrio pic in the 1st post to load? (took ages) Sure looks like a Porsche stand. But I've never seen that color before, def. not the same as in the Flickr link.

It looks a bit like the color they've been showing the Cayman R in though, no? Although the lighting is different in the two pics, so it's tough to tell.

Okay you just added the GTS in that Green they're offering the Cayman R; the LINK you provided is NOT the same color. It's not an OEM Porsche color.

The Cayman R color is.

Yes the Techart looks different to the cab.

But I think it's a kind of yellow on the cab. and not a green like on the Cayman R, what do you think?

I'm jsut suprised because the car was shown directely by Porsche and even has S (=Stutgart = Zuffenhausen) plates...

Greetings
Tobi

Edit: Looks like a booth from Porsche Exclusive (see the bakcgorund). Maybe a "one-off" color...? Like the fountainblue Porsche 997 Turbo made by Porsche Exclusive.

Reminds me of the Cayman R colour.
