Was at a Ferrari dealer the other day looking for some accessories for my Scuderia and saw this stunning GTO. Its a Green flat color with black....I like the dive plates in the rear upper quarter panel..DSCN1887.jpgDSCN1888.jpgDSCN1889.jpgDSCN1890.jpg
 
:ack

IMO
 
The Grinch ordered it!
 
I like it. It's different. Not you same old red / tan you always see. The GTO is more of a race car and it looks racey to me....
 
Not bad if one prefers the rattle can look...
 
Kind of suprised Ferrari let them order it in that color. Bet the up charge was rediculous
 
I like it too. It does look a bit like the viper snake skin green / black combo
 
'Warmwater' & 'Gulf' nailed it IMO.

'Looks like the paint was mixed & sprayed by a disgruntled Earl Scheib apprentice. :frown

Flat black is the only 'primer look' that works for me, and that doesn't cut it on some cars.
 
It goes to show money does not buy good taste

Wasn't that color available on FIAT 128s between 1973 & 1978?

That makes a lot of sense, since Ferrari is owned by Fiat. They must of had some old stock of paint to use up. :lol
 
Perfect!!

That color and the fact that I learned that Kim Kardashian owns a 458, has taken some of the glow off my recent 458 purchase.
 
Looks like somebody took their matchbox car, a little to serious.
 
Nasty. That overall combo will send car designers into convulsions.
 
Not fantastic IMO....but I think green can look good on the right car.

This Ghibli Spyder just sold for 800K plus premium at Gooding

Yeah, but that is laquer and a totally different color, very pretty. That Ghilbi is supposed to be a great restoration.
 
I think we are going to see more matte finishes from the factories. I like the green, but then again I like this too...
