Helped a friend collect his new GT8 yesterday....

very nice! nice picture , any more of the GT8?

Is that Andy's ?

Great colour and he normally puts some amazing specs together, although being very pedantic, I can't say I quite follow the logic of red callipers with Green car over yellow or orange

Andy has put up a very nice video clip of it with it accelerating on Instagram. Worth listening to with the sound turned up

That's lovely! Which green is it? Aston Martin Racing Green?

59 Racing Green. I am not really sure what is the difference to the AMR Green. I bet they are exactly the same, though. Will be able to confirm when at some point mine (in AMR Green) and his GT8 will get together!

Believe the colour is the same as mine. Mine was listed as Almond Green at sale time, but I understand the colour palette has a habit of appearing with new names against existing colours. I did some history tracing and 'racing green' has appeared in 4 shades in the last 10 years.

The present colour does appear to be darker.

There's always someone who had to be pedantic!!

Very simple explanation. I was late to order a GT8 and managed to get cancelled order. It was too late to change some of the details so had to keep the red callipers to match red stitching inside.

Very pleased with the car. Not sure if anyone that lives on my to station agrees with that given the noise it makes at 5am!!

The 2016-17 Vantage Race car is in Stirling Green I presume (hence why the launched the GT8 and the AMR brand in that color).

Definitely not AMR green!

Makes sense now ! Especially if there is red stitching inside

Glad you seem to be enjoying it. You at LM this year ? We are back in force again - 993 GT1 has had to pull out but the Paris Singer should make a worthy replacement !

Has yours got the titanium back box btw ? If so, you might not make friends with it at 5am but who cares - you won't hear their protests over the noise anyway
