Anyone having issues with the carbon hood rubbing on the plastic battery cover under the hood? Noticed this on my car this weekend and the other 4RS I saw this weekend had the same thing, although not as bad.

Anyone has a pic of silver and aluminum wheels (same lighting, etc.) on gt4rs? Maybe neodyme too? On the SRS configurator "silver" looks more like the old "platinum" which is now missing, so wondering if this "silver" looks darker (than standard silver) in real life too.

This is NOT an only car but instead a car to enjoy when you have time to really enjoy the drive.


This car is an absolute gem. It’s a car that no matter your age makes you feel like a kid again, just smiling ear to ear everytime you hop inside. It represents and achieves everything you possibly imagined that driving would be like as a kid. It’s fast, loud, nimble and pure driving fun. Just miraculous. I have owned pretty much all the GT variants, and this thing is just such a wonderful car. Buy one if you can, it’s absolutely stunning.

Boring run of the mill Shark. But had an epic ED, 3500 miles and 3 tracks. Wonderful car as I said above. A keeper for sure

A couple more of @Crazy Eddie 's car above.

The color of the neodyme in the last two are a bit exaggerated, as the sun is hitting it and adding a good amount of saturation—the last one especially. But it's there because Ed looks cool in his pride and joy.

Thanks Eddie and Kelvin, great shots, in shade and under the sun. GT Silver with its warm, rich tone goes great with neodyme. Combining that with Natural Brown or Ascot brown leather would be perfection.

question about carbon fiber on the GT4RS. it seems like that interior dash trim is in a matte finish but the buckets still have a glossy finish. Is this accurate? does it bother those with OCD?

I’m pretty OCD and have never even noticed.
