Siena Red Metallic

Siena Red Metallic (LD3V) is a deep, beautiful dark red metallic from the early years of the 944's production — a color that Rennbow simply describes as looking good from all angles in all conditions, an unusually direct endorsement that speaks to the color's genuine visual quality. The hex places it in the dark burgundy-red register, a deeply saturated dark red with minimal warmth dilution, and the metallic component adds depth and a subdued luminosity. The color is a shared Volkswagen Group code, documented on the 1983 Volkswagen Dasher alongside the Porsche 944, reflecting the common palette practices of the era. Available on the 944 for 1983 and 1984 — the first two model years of that landmark transaxle sports car — it appeared on a model that was transforming Porsche's front-engine lineup and attracting a new generation of buyers willing to step outside conventional red and silver choices. Its two-paint-can rarity reflects that while offered for two years, it was not a widely chosen option in an era when Guards Red dominated 944 sales.
