As any Porschephile will tell you, the Zuffenhausen realm has strict color-coding when it comes to brakes: red calipers stand for steel stopping hardware, while yellow grabbers mean carbon-ceramic hardware.
Sure, there are also exceptions, such as black calipers for PCCB (Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brakes) goodies, but these require extremely special circumstances. For instance, Ferdinand Piech, the grandson of company founder Ferdinand Porsche and former VW Group Chairman, drives this 991.2 GT2 RS that comes with orange calipers, which were ordered as part of an "impossible" menu of the uber-exclusive CXX options.
Well, the owner of the 2RS that brought us here has decided to take the matter into his own hands. Turning to the aftermarket side of the industry, the man has had the brake calipers finished in red.
The aim was to match the main color of the rear-engined animal. In fact, if you check out the piece of footage below, which showcases the Rennsport Neunelfer, you'll get to listen to the owner explainig he couldn't cope with the color mismatch brought by the factory setup.
In fact, this rear-engined animal packs multiple mods, with all of these being popular in the world of contemporary Porsches.
For instance, the twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six occupying the posterior of the velocity tool now breathes through a custom exhaust, one that can get pretty vocal (truth be told, the standard exhaust isn't as spicy as the rest of the tech package).
Then we have the custom wheels of the machine, which were supplied by Vossen and seem to fit the factory design rather well.
As for the cabin, this has received a half-cage, as is the norm among US aficioandos who track their Porsches - the roll cage that's part of the Clubsport Package isn't legal in the US, as hard objects inside the car are considered a safety hazard.
