Maybe I am getting too old to appreciate popsicle colored cars...
The only R8 I would buy in term of color is black or silver. I plan to drive it regularly and seeing guys drive around Toronto in funky colored cars makes me chuckle.
It's not that I don't appreciate how wild they look, I just know from experience that I would get sick of the color mighty fast. On top of that, the R8 really doesn't have a lot of color options. I don't like them in red for some reason (maybe its the red Audi uses), the silver and black in my opinion look great. I've never seen a blue one (although I did see a yellow one a couple of weeks ago) and I'd rather take a punch to the head than own a white car.
The only car I can actually say I like in green is the Huracan but I can actually afford an R8 (with the same engine and platform) while the Huracan's are wildly overpriced.
Plus all the camo trim and alcantara in the interiors is pretty nasty. The new EVO, you can actually order an interior without alcantara.
And when did plush velour become a thing on interior car surfaces? Ugh... I'll take good quality leather every time.
Besides the black R8 will line up nicely beside my black F-Pace SVR
