Black wheels, no gold accents and a color like the grey... or extra cost guards red!! 😳

Get rid of the badges and 'exclusive edition' door sills...

I'm now hoping to get an (Agate) grey one, and be the king of bling.

Agreed. Looks like somebody sent a Turbo to Will Casto and told him to do his (awful) magic. When describing this car, the obligatory '...this bad boy...' comment would be interspersed throughout...

And why can't they get the stance right on the Turbo? That thing looks like a 4x4.

I'm actually liking this better than the pix of the new 2RS!
Hopefully we get better pix of the RS soon

Lime Gold Metallic was a horrendous color, unless you were going for theft protection. I'm reserving judgment on this Turbo S PTS color -- I think it could good. Or maybe it's a better color for Da Ali G...

I went to the UK launch at Highclere (Downton Abbey) and in the flesh the car looks much better. The gold colour won't be to everyone’s taste, white or grey will be more everyday usable, but the trim changes, seats and roof lining changes lift the car. With the power hike, exclusive touches and limited numbers, I don’t think the car is stupidly priced. The canopies and champers were also top notch.

I specced a "normal" Turbo S on configurator last night, and the like-for-like difference in price was around £20k, given what's included in this car. That's without taking into account the carbon, the wheels and the power kit which aren't currently available options. Materials are also of a better quality.

On that basis, I've ordered one, and will go for Agate. (even though i agree the gold is better in real life - i want it to be lower key for day to day use).

Cant be tempted by the watch though!

I almost ordered my RS in that color. My salesman talked me out of it.
Glad he did when I saw the color in person.
