    Wanted to get some opinions from you Ferrari and Lamborghini owners, as well as any exotic. Have you found one color tends to attract more attention than another? I've heard white actually attracts the most attention, but I would have thought black or red. I am curious to hear your thoughts and opinions on this very important subject. Thanks

    I think it really depends on where you live. You cant swing a dead cat and not hit a white car (of any make) in FLA or similar light colors in warmer climates

    Here in the midwest whites and yellows definetly stand out more.

    But in truth, these days most people are too distracted in their cars with phones and radios to notice much of anything else on the roads.

    All can chime in of course, but what I had in mind in particular was owners with various makes and colors giving their opinions, as in when I take my red 458 out, gets more attention than my black 430 or something along those lines.

    Yellow or Red for sure.

    Sometimes Black, depending on the environment.

    I have a Azzurro Monaco 360. This color was retired by Ferrari (around 1997) before 360 production began, so it was a customer special order for the 360. I am only aware of two 360s that were painted in this color - my 2000 F1 coupe and a spider.

    Since this is an unusual shade of blue - sort of between Azzurro California and TdF blue - it does attract some attention, particularly from women (don't tell my wife:))

    I'm surprised it took this long for someone to say orange. On this forum, you're likely to get a lot of red/yellow, Lambo owner would probably say orange, green or yellow and of course all of this is pedestrian compared to chrome!

    Any bright colour convertible playing a CD way too loud so everyone can hear your bad taste in music.

    It is impossible not to notice a yellow car, but many cars can't pull it off, IMO. I like yellow best on mid-V8 Ferraris and Lamborghinis, and red on front V12 Ferraris. A yellow 612 or FF looks totally ridiculous to me, and yellow on the 550/575M doesn't really work for me either. But as my mom used to say, there's no accounting for taste. :)

    Cheers,

    George

    I have an orange Porsche Cayman, and it gets way more attention than my red 308 GTB. This is especially true among the younger than 35 set.

    I'll be the first to say there are very few cars that can pull off yellow appropriately

    But you have one that can! Yellow is my favorite color for the 458.

    Cheers,
