Loving the rarity of this car

Really loving the rarity of these cars. 911s, while awesome, are so ubiquitous these days, and recognizable by near everyone. On the other hand, so many random people ask me what type of car I have and “nice color” at gas stations, parking lots and stop lights that I’m starting to feel like a celebrity lol. I know for others here, this type of car is routine for them, but this is a big step up for me since I’m such a damn cheapskate lol. I’m enjoying every moment in this thing. I highly recommend getting a unique color if you plan on ordering one. Get magno. Worth it.

I don't see these cars on the road. More likely to see a Lambo on the road where I live......911's are common.

Those are rare, too. This entire platform is rare, which is fine by me. People have no idea what they’re missing.

Don't see many of those either!! See more of the SL and really no GT's here. I'm sure they are around, but you just don't see them.

I guess it also depends on the area as well though. Sadly you mainly see the SUVs, I think you do see more of the GTs and SLs a Beverly hills but then you also see more Rolls-Royce, G-wagens as well.

Ya no problem with being rare, exclusivity is a good thing. It will then be more appreciated by bystanders and they will turn their heads as a result.

I guess I wouldn't be surprised about the presence of G-Class....

Edit: there are so many of those in my area.

I don’t live in an uber rich area, but I see 911s, newer Vettes, newer Cayennes and G Wagons a lot. I don’t see many newer AMG GTs or SLs. I can go weeks without seeing another one. I love it.

By the way, hyper blue magno is an epic paint color. It’s such an attention getter. I don’t normally spend extra on custom paint, but I will from this day forward.

They are blackened chrome. With the exception of the wheels, there's no chrome on the car exterior at all.

No, it's black chrome. The pic is a bit deceptive because the handle is reflecting the color of the paint.

I'm not sure how this build ended up with blackened chrome door handles. It could be part of the exterior carbon fiber package or the aerodynamic package, both of which are on my build.
