Is sakhir orange the 1M color or a different one? Really did not like the 1M orange.

Any orange or red and I'm out of the future market of your car.

Azurite is black so scratch that. It has to be Yas or Tanzanite for me. I'd have to think hard which one if I were building one.

Another consideration is cloth with kids & dog. Our dog chews cloth like crazy in the house but has not touched leather yet. I'd go one of two directions:

Purist build: YMB/Black Cloth/CF Roof
Luxo build: Tanzanite/Leather (not sure which kind)/Moonroof.

Bummer that the Competition package that sounds necessary for grip/suspension takes you to 20" wheels, not a fan of those stars (a rip off MV Agusta IMHO). I like the 18's with the fat sidewalls or the gray 19's.

@ AF

Awesome! I've been trying to hunt down a car with that color. Apparently there is one in downtown Boston (Herb Chambers in Comm Ave), but it's a PITA to get to and to busy to make an express drive for it. Maybe this weekend.

It is said that the extra width of the 20" rear wheels/tires makes a difference.

The orange is different than the 1M (Valencia Orange). Sakhir is more red.

I might, too (but I did go Estoril, which is half the way there.) Yas Marina and Porsche's Miami Blue seem really close to me.

My big problem with the blue is that I can't think of it without thinking of Broad City.

YAAASSS Marina.

;) It's funny, but I thought the Estoril was super conspicuous and flashy when I brought it home. And then we got a Guards Red Porsche. Tamed the blue in no time.

I'm so glad they got rid of that amazing sounding V8 and put in a terrible sounding turbo six cylinder so they could vastly improve the fuel economy to ... 24MPG highway. :lol:
