Gallardo colours

[Gring]

What are the most popular Gallardo colours? I am going to be looking at a blue one tomorrow that I kind of like the look of. Is blue a good colour? or should I stick to yellow orange and black? I know I should just buy what I like, but will it be harder to sell on a blue one?

Thanks very much.

There's plenty of black and yellow cars around so it's a double edge sword in that respect. Some of the rarer colours might prove more attractive, depending on just how far out they are...

Personally I've always thought blue to be a good colour for a Gallardo but I might be biased

If you like the car and the spec, don't worry too much about the colour and buy it if you like it.

I don't think Lambos are quite as colour sensitive as Fezzas, if that's what you are worried about.

I went and looked at loads of Gallardos the best one with the right miles was blue so i bought it my ferrari was red imao i think that is the right colour for a ferrari i don't think it matters so much about the colour of a Lambo just think if you painted a Ferrari Kermit Green

<imho>if you're buying a ferrari or something german, then the resale colours are obvious
since people buy lambos and lambo colours to be different, there is no "safe" colour</imho>

Balloon White is now the only colour painted at Sant Agata for the G. Every other bodyshell is delivered painted at Audi Neckarsulm.

Thanks for the answers so far, I am looking at this one tomorrow http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/www/cars/LAMB...

18k on the clock. Seems like a good buy, am I missing somthing? It has a new uprated clutch apparently.

Nice big chunk of the tyre sidewall gouged out in the close up wheel pic.

Looks good to me. I would buy it.
Any colour is a good colour, the simple fact that you are potentially going to buy it shows that colour doesnt matter much with Lambos.

Would not worry about tyre scuffs - thats a reason to knock them down 300GBP, not a reason not to buy...

+1, I would want to know why the tyre has a chunk out of it yet the wheel is perfect? Surely if you spend the money on refurbing the wheels properly then it's worth putting a new tyre on. This amount of sidewall damage could be dangerous at high speed.

Lambo = Yellow or Orange
Ferrari = Red

However the new in colour at the moment which suits all cars from BMW M3s to the Lambo Murci SV is white.

Personally blue on a Lambo is one of the worst colours. Black is bad enough, but at Black serves a purpose in that it tones down a Lambo for those who want a G but do not want to stand out "too" much.

Get a pearl yellow car or an orange one.

I love Caelum blue is stunning. If you ever see it on the road it's stunning. The only other colours I would buy a Gallardo in would be Green, Orange or white.

first G I ever saw on the road was a metallic blue and it was awesome. That said I'd still opt for a White yellow or orange.

I like orange and yellow too, but I want somthing just a little not in your face. A touch more subtle maybe. Also wife really doesnt like yellow or orange. I cant find a white one im my price bracket. So blue or black. Quite like the black, will have to see what I think of the blue when I see it in the flesh!

[justin220]

Its all personal really. When I set out to buy one I wanted (realistically) a black one, or (if I was lucky) an orange one.

I had a look at a blue one and it really didn't do it for me, it just wasn't in your face enough for me. Luckily an Orange one came up for sale and I just went for it. Really glad I did as I love the colour, but its very bright, you can't go anywhere un noticed which can get a bit tiring!

They don't get any better than Caelum Blue

I went to see the blue one today. I really liked it. The sales guy is gonna bring it over to my place on Monday for a test drive and so the wife can see it.

[chr55y]

Hi Gring, that is beautiful. It would have to be Green or yes the blue for me I think. Hope you enjoy the test drive be good to have someone on the S/C
