Need suggestions for the color for my next R8

I always had a thing for British Racing Green, it looks good on the Lotus Exige/Elise. I'm not sure how it'd look on an R8 though. I can't post a picture, Lotustalk.com is blocked on my work computer

 

I think TDF Blue would look good on the R8.

 

I'm a Rossa Barchetta fan. I also like Radar Blue (see pic), but that's not everyone's cup of tea. Either way, I like matching side blades, or a titanium coloured ones.

I think Orange would be a screeming color on the R8... not sure if that's what you'd want. Not sure on the Gambella paint code, but the GT3 RS paint code is "8C6"

not surprising. Although, I do like it I agree that the wildest colors wouldn't work on it... to me Orange is somewhere between mild and wild.

Midnight Blue Perl might work on it well too.

 

I always thought red with black sideblades looked really good, although it isn't very original.

 

Ferrari Red of course!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've seen a few of the dark blue R8s and think they are beautiful.

or, to keep in line with Audi racing heritage, silver with a red blade, a la the R8/R10 race cars?

The red R8 with a carbon fiber side blade looked great when I saw it at NAIAS.

Here is a pic I took of it.

What about getting one in Nogaro blue like the S4's used to come in? Im always a fan of putting cars in colors that have existed for the mfg but not necessarily for that line.

 

I really like how that looks, especially with a silver side blade. I say go for it.

 

I myself like the silver, but the green on some cars like a Hemi Cuda or Lamborghini Miura looks wild.

 

Green for the money, and gold for the honeys.

That would be the R8 that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would drive LOL. Just like Red with Yellow is Ronald McDonald's car

 

If you use the dark red, go with the Silver blade. Looks great.

 

Or this combo..

I really like that.

 

I got it!

I work at an Audi/Porsche/Mercedes/Aston Martin dealership's collision center and we had one we painted some stupid racing stripes and Audi ring decal before I got a chance to talk to customer. Pretty sure we've sold more R8s than any other US dealer (Penske owned and Audi of America is now down the street). We've had 20 on the lot once.

I want to see a R8 with the traditional Audi rally/racing factory livery, you know, the slanted block thick stripes. This would be perfect on a R8 because the R8 has the slanted panel which matches the angle of the stripes anyhow. Most used either orange, brown, gray on white or yellow with these colors.

True Audi racing heritage.

If you wanna do it and can get the car to Virginia or if I can get you a white one delivered here as a fresh piece of canvas let me know. Would love to spray one in this scheme but my pay prevents me from buying one myself.

I think that would totally kick ass.

 

If you wanted to do what ProRally suggests, you should just order white and then do nice vinyl decals.

I'll throw two quick chops out, one is based on my fav color scheme from the Veyron, the pearl white and powder blue metallic from one of the early show cars. The other is a variation on the light blue metallic Audi already has, but with more of an aqua tint to make it an icy blue.

IMO, pearls and metallics look best on the R8, because of the sharp curves in the shape. I think a Lambo orange pearl would look 10x better than the clearcoat orange you posted.
