Would love some feedback on the color/rim choice I put in with the dealer.

Sophisto Grey with turbine style-625 rims.

Picture under show lights.

My order of choices for color were

1st)Sophisto Grey

2nd) Crystal White

3rd) Protonic Blue

4th) Ionic Silver

And Black is the only choice of interior for me.

Would love you hear from you guys.

I really do not like the bright blue + black combo, but it's not my $140,000.

Same exterior color I asked for (so, like it). I am hoping that they will ultimately have a red interior available as production moves forward.

Excuse my ignorance, but so this is like real and shit now? I guess I should pay more attention.

Yeah, come to think of it the ivory would be tolerable with the blue...but I keep remembering all the late 80's BMWs I look at where trim pieces fade/discolor at different rates leaving some pieces the same shade of grey they had from the factory and some are yellow/brown.

You're not too far behind, production version was just unveiled last week. Probably the most futuristic looking current design. I like how much of it made the leap from concept to production. The only real changes were the doors, because clear doors probably wouldn't meet side impact requirements. In Europe it's available with laser headlights, but the US gets LEDs.

I agree. A deep oxblood red would be amazing against that grey.

Frickin' lasers?

Thanks for the info! I'll get all caught up, swear.

Can you choose an offsetting color for the 911 it is birthing through the rear fascia? Or is it just a purplish-red?

I see it! The Porsche is crowning! Push i8!

No paternity test necessary. Protonic Blue, You are NOT THE FATHER.

I dig it. Looks better in pictures than in the rendering.

No big deal, you're basically a week behind, aka Autoblog status.
