It's the red prototype, and the camera caught a different color on the rear due to a lighting effect, and the camera's exposure.

Yeah, I'm sure. Look at the front of the car, away from the lighting effect. And look at the seats, there was/were only red prototypes with those seats.

Red...

Especially after seeing the red in the SevenStock pics. Would go real sweet with my power red SantaCruz Superlight on the roof!

Pearlecent orange damnit! :D

With a very light grey color inserts on black interior, like the Audi TT.

Looks like the poll slowed down... and Titanium seems to be the winner.

Blue isn't the most popular. I think I'll pick that so I don't see my colour of car too often.

Still waiting to see what white looks like in person though, but for now, I voted blue.

We'll have to run a poll like this again when colour choices are confirmed at the Auto Show!

any colour you like

The Uk site has just launched a tool where you can paint the car in any colour you like. Pretty funny.
I like 100, 63, 35, 100 which makes a great rusty orange

Ha ha, they've got my number! From the website:
Here's a handy tool to help you while away the hours, fantasizing about your dream car.
Are they reading my mind or something? :D

Hmm, where's white? I can't imagine that they won't offer one in white in the US. I also recall seeing the spyshots of a white prototype being tested in some snowy areas (or maybe the white was part of the camoflauge disguise ).

For me, it's either white or silver. I'd probably have to see the car in person to know if the color looks good on the car.

White wasn't on the leaked swiss preorder sheet, and boowana, who seems to have pretty reliable information has said that white won't be offered, even though a white car was seen undergoing winter testing. This information is in fact mentioned in the FAQ...

color option (wheels)

Would be nice to have the option of getting black wheels to go with black or titanium body color...

Heck, just get a can of flat-black from your friendly Auto parts store, and go "ghetto-retro" on it!

A guy I know had a really light cyan/silver TVR with black alloys... Everyone including TVR told him it would look terrible... but it was OK... looked very menacing.

Black wheels

I think black body with flat black wheels would look best. I don't think I will be going ghetto-retro with spray paint but thanks for the suggestion (I think?)

It was a joke. I have seen a handful of cars where the owner actually took black spray paint to high-dollar aluminum wheels for that effect.

Don't forget that the ones like me that are subbed to this thread return every time there is a new post. So there haven't been 1000 unique users viewing this...
