Loving that, kind of different, yet subtle but it is definitely something out of the ordinary without shouting it like the Orange ST or the Green RS, almost utilitarian like the Gas van pictured, but not.

Like the green, it seems to possess an ability to look very different in different pictures.

I prefered the geneva colour, even though it was never going to be that one.

This one looks a little too britsh gas van for me

With a remap the van will easily be as quick too.

and similar to volvo rebel blue

I think it's basically rebel blue with a pearl top coat.

It will probably look very different in person too, the earlier posted Audi Nogaro Blue was like that, very flat looking on pictures but a lovely deep pearl look in the flesh.

Does anyone else think it looks like the metallic 'Ultra Blue' in GTA5

Loving the look of this Focus, will be a real head turner on the streets

Wonder what specialist tools they'll need to work on a 9 year old Mazda engine

Mazda 6 MPS - 2.3L Turbo 4WD.. sounds familiar...

Saw this in LeMans and I have to say it looks fantastic in the flesh and much less 'boy racer' than the old one - very much rs3 style of thinking

Really not keen on that colour, far too pale.

Not the best photos but here is the car they had on display at Le Mans:

That front end is very aggressive, it's growing on me.

The nose looks shockingly bad, where it sticks out more at the top

It's a shame "Liquid Blue" isn't available as it's a really nice colour.

Not available yet anyway.

It does seem odd - I can't remember if Ford gave a reason why it wouldn't be sold in Liquid Blue?

The cynic in me wonders if we'll see a Liquid Blue run out special when they are towards the end of the production line (maybe they are saving Liquid Blue as an RS500 colour).

The car looked great - delivers in Q1 of 2016 so if anyone wants one in time for hooning down to Le Mans in 2016 to watch the return of Ford to GTE, then get your orders in!

Disgusting colour. That Le Mans dark blue colour a few posts up is what it should be .

I dont think it looks too bad at all and certainly gives it an agrressive look
