Default You probably won't be interested, but...

So I went to the UK customer preview for the RS today and they had the white/red, blue/gold, and grey/black/red cars there to be pawed over and Mr Andreas Preuninger giving us a talk. In addition we got to play around in the new turbo and turbo Panemara as well as passenger rides in a GT3RS.1 and GT3.2. All in all not a bad day really

So here are, I think, the first pictures of the blue/gold. In person the gold looked quite silver but the mix of bright blue paint, gold accents and graphics, yellow seatbelts and red door pulls was just plain wrong. It was confirmed that (here in the UK at least) graphics can be deleted and from March you can the car, graphics and accents in any colour you like through the Exclusive system. Any way here are the photos:

More more more... for sharing!!!

Actually, the Blue/Gold doesn't look bad at all. Yellow belts match the yellow calipers. The red door pull would like out of place though.

Hmmm, what to do, what to do. Have a Grey/Red '10 specced at the moment - should I change to Blue/Gold!?!?!?! (wondering aloud)...

I think the grey/red combo looks nice... really not sure of the other colours. Can't as yet put my finger on it but something's not right... for starters I'd take out the extra graphics especially the GT3RS splayed across the rear and front fender.

If I am going for a standard colour I am definitely going for the white/red with no graphics. If I go PTS its Riviera blue with black wheels and accents...

Thanks for the pics.

Holy crap I think the Blue/Gold is off-the-hook good looking. Agreed the interior spec could be weird. I wanted yellow belts, but that would clash with the red door pulls and red G3RS seat back stitching.

Regardless, I am thrilled with how my spec is going to look.

The black centerlocks look really good on the red wheels. It shows off the centerlock setup.

If I was in the market I would probably choose grey/red, but that blue sure does look like a close second.

So Henry, what did they all have to say? Any other points of future interest like say maybe a GT2 RS?

That blue/gold looks insane and better than I thought it would. The gold color is understated and perfectly goes with the blue.

YearOne: Finally some new photos! Thanks for sharing.

Difficult lighting conditions from the looks of it. Any photos of the cars outside in daylight?

Thank you!
More please!

Damn!! I have my order in for white / red decal delete...

This blue looks nice with gold, but no too many colors and too hard to keep scratch free.,

Now I see the gold and it looks great, but I wish it was silver, it almost looks silver...
Silver wheels would go with the rear spoiler uprights and I could make the red accenrs white...
If I could get black seat belts it would be a coin toss between white / red and white / gold!

I will stick with classic White / Red, but maybe the gold looks nicer on white, so hard to tell in pics...
