Arrow blue wins! You just need to redo the wheels chalk (or white) and have the perfect combo 😍

Haha! It's a bit of an attention hog........



Definitely quite a bit darker than MB but to my eyes, Oslo doesn't have any green to it but does have a grey tone in there. Oslo also doesn't seem to change in different light/conditions like MB does.

Like I said, I'll try to get some additional sun pics but in the meantime, here are a few more garage pics under flourescent lights. Thanks again.


I love that Oslo!

Default Mega Thread. Thanks to Everyone. And Azzuro???

This is so awesome. Maybe the best thread ever? Thanks to everyone who contributed.
Damn I wish I could get paid for all the time I've spent here.

Does anyone have a pic / pics of any 718, especially a Spyder, in Azzuro Thetys Metallic?
Anyone seen the color in the metal? Does it include a hint of a light green in the mix, or is it more like the old Silver Blue or Liquid Chrome?
Thanks in advance.

I saw an Azzuro T at the OPC. Beautiful colour, looks like the pictures. It's a light blue/silver. Very subtle, works so well with lighter alloys.

Loving those blues, they have so many shades depending on lighting. I'd take any, with the platinum grey alloys please! (black calipers).

Here is the press release from a month ago.

That same article states it. “With this offer, we are reviving cult-classic colours and expanding the extensive range of standard and special colours across all the model series by more than 160 shades.”
Unless I'm just reading it wrong, and all the other articles written like https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a3...ple-expansion/
I guess it could be interpreted as it's expanding the models and the total number of colors offered across all models is 160 but not every model has the same options. I took it as they are going to be expanding the library itself.

Anyone else in production right now? My PTS GT4 seems to be pretty heavily delayed in production. Order locked in November, production began on 1/11, but not estimated to complete until March and arrive in late May...

Care to share details of your build such as color and any CXX options?

Edit- apparently this is not a real PTS. The company that did this does fantastic work I will say.

This is my cousin's car, and yes the job they did looks as good as the photos in real life. He couldn't get a PTS slot at the time and he really wanted a green car, hence he went for green stitch too. It is now for sale as we both have PTS cars arriving this year.

I have you on my spreadsheet with a Gemini Blue Spyder and an Olive Green GT4. Do you still have two cars on order or can you clarify? Thanks.
