Quick question: Has Carmine always been the red for a Macan??

Very early on, there was a metallic red. You don’t see many around. Kind of a lipstick colour, I thought...

Try Googling ‘Impulse Red’.

There might be the odd Guards Red PTS one about too.

Personally think python green looks great. If the car wasn’t for the Mrs I’d be tempted to spec it.
Great timing for me and my lockdown date as I think this has made my mind up!

Probably waiting for a missing component to be fitted...

Thanks, was sold on Carmine in the showroom but saw a 2 year old customer car in the car park and it looked flat and almost grimy in comparison - wondered if the customer car was a different red but i think it was not :(

I love Carmine, and had a new 2017 Panamera 4 in that colour. Some folks (including Col) say it can look ‘dirty’ when not in showroom or in sunshine, but I’d still order another Porsche in Carmine. :)

Did it ever look flat or was it a case of constant polishing?? 😂

Don’t recall it looking flat, but it is a non-metallic colour, so could potentially look a little ‘dull’ to some eyes on a cloudy day. Looked great on a sunny day. :)

I never polished it. Just a wash every month or so.

Not a Macan but Cayenne in Carmine Red. Shows how good it can look hence my incoming Taycan is in Carmine Red.

These are the guys who I usually send my car to for detailing.
