    maybe Qisha can post some pics if any exist.
    Dear RXBG,

    no VIN match with Apollo Silver Metallic, therefore no R8 produced with this color... yet.

    Qisha

    PS: as a metallic color it is not effected by sunlight like pearl effect colors. Some like it that way, others prefer the shades that come out depending on the light angle.

    Quartz Grey was the colour of my Q7, lovely colour.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    I compared Apollo Silver Metallic and Quartz Grey Metallic side by side(with R8 dealers showroom samples) on different lights(indoor, on direct sun lights etc.) and Apollo is pure dark silver, while Quartz features hint of beige...

    My current favourites are either Apollo Silver Metallic(btw, code is LY38) or Dolphin Grey Metallic(F5F5, code LX5Z). Both with Carbon Sigma side blades.

    Apollo Silver Metallic is indeed special silver. This is my current choice.

    Just... Honestly, I also like Amethyst Grey Metallic very much as well. IMO it would look truly amazing on R8 V10 with Carbon Sigma side blades. I have around one month of thinking until my order is final...

    Interesting. I'm thinking on similar lines.

    My current R8 is sprint blue and originally with oxygen silver sideblades.

    However, I found the oxygen silver far too reflective - like a mirror - and so switched to quartz grey, which gave a much better contrast.

    I have just ordered my V10 today - for April/May delivery - and it will be sepang blue with apollo silver sideblades.

    I too have the photo printed in the catalogue, but the actual metal colour swatches the dealer had are a little bit darker than the catalogue.

    Sepang is a shade darker than sprint and has a hint of blue-purple in it. Your dealer should have a swatch of sepang in his RS6 dealer pack and apollo in his R8 dealer pack.

    Qisha,
    You forgot to mention that pics are taken by Positronium, member of one German web forum and are taken on 25th January in Kitzbühel... So, credit goes to Positronium...

    Thanks Quisha!

    Sepang Blue is looking really nice, a bit darker than on the web builder.

    Probably close the the Ford RS blue?

    Hi Qisha,

    I'm really enjoying the R8..I have driven yesterday the first Rs6 in Saudi. Very nice. My Rs6 with exclusive options will be arriving in April, Ice Silver / Black and silver interior, Black optic package and much more. If you spot it please take a picture and send it to me.

    As for the V10 R8, I am still waiting for the dealer to confirm when we can place the order. I would like the car to be the same color and interior as my current V8 Ibis / Crimson Red interior with both the carbon pack interior and exterior of the V10 .

    Can you please confirm what comes in exterior carbon pack?

    Thanks

    Buzz

    PS: Here are some pics with new wheels which stayed on the car for two days only and are now back to grey originals
