Pure delight: Porsche 997 Carrera Cup








Sorry for the absence of new stuff today. Been out doing some trackwork, when this unused Carrera Cup S from the 2009 season showed up. Thanks Gisle, for sharing your wheels with the rest of us.
PS - I don´t understand why the car hasn´t got the "S"-letter on the enginelid, as the Cup S is supposed to have....
