What a striking build, if anyone here has ever seen a Porsche in Fly Yellow in person then they know what I mean. I saw a 993 Turbo S and a 964 Speedster in this color at 2 separate concours events here in NY. It is probably one of the best colors I have ever seen on a 90's air-cooled 911, not to mention rare rare rare!!
Gorgeous car in a fantastic color! While a devout Porsche enthusiast, I know some about our Italian counter-parts. The color is simply known as F.L.Y. which is an acronym for “Ferrari Light Yellow” ... so the above description basically reads Ferrari “Ferrari Light Yellow” Yellow. Totally being picky, I know, but thought I’d share anyway. GLWS!!
