    Very similar to a current caddy color. Looks a lot like the color of my ATS.

    I usually think it is best to just keep quiet when I disagree with things on the internet, but I suppose you've posted the photo to provoke reactions and opinion. So, here it goes ...

    For me, I object two ways:
    1.) Black, grey/silver, white is just so every-second-car-is-painted-that-color. It is so common. I really don't like it.
    2.) The body kit horrifies me. Ewww.

    Sorry; just my reaction.

    I think he was just referring to the colour, not the body kit.

    Either way, that color is tempting, and with red interior, perfection. Tan interior would be a quick second choice.

    Oops. The jury is instructed to disregard the prior comment regarding body kits.

    It's not real. It's a fantasy concept. See my post #10 above.

    That's a little too much flair and dam but I do think the 308 looks or would have looked better with more flare than stock. Just not THAT much. :)

    It's a nice undercoat for the Rosso Red! :)

    Yes, I'm one of those, "the only color for a two-seater Ferrari is racing red!" (and SS Ducati's as well...) ;) And, no, although my interest in a 3x8 came mostly from Magnum, Ferrari Red came from long before that era.

    MIKE,

    Put The Pipe Down.
    Seriously, you would need a forza 4 liter engine or a 360 transplant.
    That thing looks like a 200 mph slot car.
    205 or 240 HP with 3200 pounds are not gonna do it.
    (ask me how I know),

    As I mention on my first post, I’m only interested on the color. I don’t care so much for the body kit or flaring, I think it’s ugly too but really, I know it’s not original Rosso or red but that color is unique in someway and I really like it.

    Better original: next time you will buy a 308, buy something like this... ;)

    The color in the render is a mid way from two factory colors: "blu sera metallizato" (my car) and "azzurro metallizzato"

    ciao
