Thanks hachi you just made my decision so much easier.
White: looks kinda cheap =/. Black: I guess I'm the only one that HATES HATES HATES the super flakey metallic black. Idk Black cars should be BLACK...a simple black gloss is the best it can ever get. That blue...my god that blue is gorgeous...took me about 7 minutes just to write this because I couldn't stop looking at it.

That was 0-100kph, not 0-60mph. Depending where the shift point is, the 0-60mph time could be 0.2-0.3s faster.

I am def. considering WRB first, then GBS, then SWP/DGM, and then Hot Lava/H8r Orange. I have come to appreciate the orange quite a bit!

They opened the exposure on the frame to see the depth in the paint. By allowing more light to hit the sensor of the camera, it gets the different layers of paint.
This looks like a very good paint job and every vehicle (pre-production) hasn't shown noticeable imperfections.

From the placard above... 'The Nurburgring played an important role...' Hmm ;-)
From 'first drive' reports... 'when you ask Tada-san, the engineering boss in charge of the project the usual, turgid, Nurburgring lap-time question, he just shrugs and smiles. He doesn't care: "This doesn't matter."' Very interesting to see it come in under 1200kgs though. To get a modern coupe weighing that little is impressive :-) |
