CARMINE RED Taycan Club

[darth_maul_80]

Looking good @darth_maul_80 we have similar spec’s from the looks of it… ?? or at least exterior anyway… besides the ST body that is!

i was going to say how did you get my car and stretch it!

that is a beauty!!! I love the aggressive rear stance of our CT...if we didnt already have the CT i wouldve had same as you!

Finally got my GTS almost year after I placed the order

it arrived just before Christmas but then went for paint correction, ppf and ceramic coating of everything.

It looks absolutely amazing (well I think it does and that's all that matters lol). I don't have any interior pictures without my 5 yo and 3yo in so will try and post those up later so if people want to see GTS carmine red racetex option and carbon option internally. It is our second Taycan and both are different in their own way...again I will post some thoughts after some more experience.

Id like to thank you all for helping me choose my options and for posting your own images to help me clarify what I wanted

I have a very similar Carmine GTS arriving imminently but looked at yours in these pics and was initially underwhelmed. However, I then realised how high it is jacked up on the air suspension in these photos, which goes to show how much of a difference stance really makes to how are car looks.

I hope you're really pleased with yours. I can't wait to take delivery of mine

in the handover pictures I think it was on default medium though I drive it on low.

i think even in medium it looks higher than it actually is...you're going to have a sleepless night the night before!!! enjoy!

Congrats @darth_maul_80

I have a GTS ST coming later this year, and these photos are making me have a wobble on my spec! Currently Mamba Green, but these show Carmine off very well.

for me it was between mamba and carmine but I do love red!

since its been coming to work with me almost every patient noticed it and not as many noticed my grey CT...to be fair it is very in your face like Mamba!

my wife drove a mamba GTS at the PEC

What a sensational car!

I'm sure glad to be out of that "waiting room area"! I took delivery of this MY23 Taycan Cross Turismo a couple months ago. So far the car has been a pleasure. I've experience some quirks with the PCM touchscreen not responding to any touches as well as the dreaded "stuck on porsche logo" screen which both resolved itself after the car shut down and I walked away for some lunch. Besides that, the experience has been glitch-free w/successful visits to EA chargers (so far).

Having experience with a very early Model S back in 2012, and along with still owning a MY16 Model X, I'm not new to the EV world, although, the "on the road" charging experience does take me back to the early days in my Tesla. Planning trips out and hoping there's not already cars there. On the flip-side, I'm not new to the Porsche family and am happy to report, the Taycan drives like a Porsche. If you guys own one, you already know. If you're thinking about owning one, go drive it, throw it into Sport or Sport+ and take some turns. For the weight and size, its quite nimble and quick.

Anyway, enough of that, there's plenty of reviews on the boards with pros and cons. At the end of it all, its an awesome car and hoping for a continued positive experience with you all.

Here are some photos with what I'd like to think are OEM+ mods that I had waiting before the car even delivered.

• 22x10 / 22x12.5 Forged Glory Pursuit 2-piece wheels
• 295/30 & 335/25 Toyo ST III Tires
• Skiguard Roof Box
• Lowering Links
• Cete Lowering Module (Links were fine, however I wanted more adjustability on the different drive modes)
• Xpel Ultimate Fusion PPF full coverage
• ClearPlex Windshield & Panoramic Roof coverage
• European Clear Side Markers/Bumper lens
• ...

Picked up my Taycan GTS in Carmine Red last week?? What a colour?? looks absolutely fantastic. I had only seen a friends GTS Boxster prior to ordering, SO GLAD I pulled the Carmine trigger…. I spec‘d as much black and carbon to really make the car have a great contrast. Whilst I get everyone has differing taste, Imo Carmine is the ultimate Taycan colour ???

Here is my car at the detaliers getting some Carmine Red love ???

Lord Satan would be proud. A fine chariot for the dark lord if ever there was.

So, even though my wife said “that red is too nice to matte,” I went ahead and put a matte ppf on my 2023 GTS. Was really nervous about it but very happy with the results… Haven’t seen any like this posted anywhere so he’s my contribution
