I feel like a girl for asking this, but i just cant decide! I have ordered an aventador from lambo newport beach (orange county), i just CANNOT decide what colour. They have said i can still change because of the slightly delayed production. Votes on a postcard please!


Matte White (bianco canopus)
Matte Black
Gloss Black

or order a special colour of either baloon white, or grigio telesto.

In the past i have had a black gallardo, and currently have a pearl yellow balboni, which looks gorgeous, but for some reason i still feel like a bit of a pillock turning up anyhwere in it! My original choice was the matte white (like at the geneva motor show) but i have seen so many white ones on the internet now it almost looks common! Any oppinions greatly appreciated, espcially thoughts on grigio telesto?

cheers!

The BEST colour I've seen the car in thus far is Grigio Antares, an old Murci colour.

The shadow-play across the angles in the panels makes the car look incredible.

But it may be a little 'sedate' for a modern Lambo.

If it were mine it would be Verde Ithaca, of our cars:

Car 1 is Nero Nemesis Matt Black
Car 2 is Arancio Argos Pearl Orange
Car 3 is Nero Nemesis Matt Black
Car 4 is Bianco Canopus Matt White

You mention the yellow lambo you have being a bit OTT for you, so maybe LamboBrum's suggestion of Grigio Antares will be a good choice for you... Just googled it and have to agree I like it a lot...

haha! I actually love verde ithica, just not on my car, if that makes any sense at all!? The balboni does look good because the stripe plus the black engine cover break up the yellow at bit.

just to be sure, lambobrum, you were putting those it order of colours you have in that looked best? I love matte black but just thought it had been done a bit much, and am worried it loses some of the detailing (black air intakes etc). I clearly need to get myself over to birmingham if you have 4 in, they dont even have a demonstrator in southern california yet!

What's happened to Lambo owners recently?

'Should I choose boring black, or plain white?'

And the interior....'black or black?'


Jeese - I thought Lambo's only came in Yellow, Orange or Green!

Grow a pair and order this colour.....with two-tone interior....

Have to agree there .thumbup . Go for the crack head color . Gives everyone a chance to see it from a million miles away . biggrin . Hear it first ! "bloody hell what's that , Oh I see it , in between all them grey & white cars " Can't understand people who buy an Aventador then go camouflage it . woohoo

For the record the Geneva Motor Show car was gloss flat white and not matte. Go for Ithaca Verde you won't regret it. If you go for the boring colours you will forever be saying to yourself "great car shame it looks like lots of other black/white/grey cars". If you feel embarrassed turning up in an Ithica Verde Aventador then get councelling!!!!!laugh

Are you sure about that? i don't know if there were two, but there is a clear pearl to the matte bianco canopus (it is basically balloon white without the final coat). I also checked at lambo NB and they told me it was the matte white?

I know most the press cars are gloss white but pretty sure the geneva car (it was only there for the first day i believe) was matte.

Re, being boring, i definitely take your point. When i bought the yellow balboni i actually went into the dealership to buy a black lp-560!

Just because i am a show off really, here is a link to some pictures of my balboni. My wife had them taken for me for my birthday. Same guy that did my wedding photos, also happens to be a car nut. I think they look amazing. Just follow the link, the password is Lambo (case sensitive).

I hope I don't get in trouble for this because it's genuinely helpful, I have a video of the matte white car at Geneva on the 1st press day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBuGqi70Qdk
