Cosworth Blue anybody?

The original Autobiography service offered "any colour you like, for £10k extra, sir, £15k for a paint job where the colour changes as you walk around the car too"

Loire blue is very nice, especially with the silver contrast roof, but it is not a very bright shade. Buckingham Blue was fantastic on a sunny day with its black and blue flecks in it, but we so rarely get those sunny days.......... Another colour that looked magic in the sun was the Vesuvius Orange the the First Edition RRS S/C was available in. Looked lovely and orange in the sun, but in the dull of the UK looked more like cowsh1t brown with a tinge of green in it!

I think that most of the premium manufactures colour choices are generally dull apart from the flat white and red they all seem to offer. Funny how they all offer an enhanced choice for many thousands of pounds more

Martinique Blue and Mauritius Blue were both nice shades, but unfortunately the former was discontinued a few years back and the later is due to be replaced.

While we're speaking of blues, take a look at the fabulous (not that I am trying to influence your opinion) Estoril blue of the new RR Sport SVR. Links everywhere, google is your friend...

Nice colour, shame about the price - £93450 before options! You can buy a very good Porsche SUV for less, after options! Apart from a factory fitted body kit, some fancy paint and uprated ECU and brakes I wonder what LR adds to justify such a monster price?

I hope the marketing people take note of the comments on several websites that is high time LR ditched their dull as ditchwater colour chart for some more exciting colours. Although I must admit that the metallic orange for the Autbiography Evoque is maybe a bit too eye watering for many!

To some degree, there are charging what they think the market will bear and it's benchmarked against the Cayenne turbo. I think, actually, that sales of the 5.0 SC Autobiography will fall away. If you're after the performance, why wouldn't you go for the SVR? In any case, I think it's great news for LR that the car exists.

I like the SVR, it doesn't have in your face styling. It retains the grace of the RR but has a bad boy streak.

Agreed, that LR need to introduce a more attractive colour palette.

Yes Mark, good on them for realising that RRS 's image is strong enough in the right market - would have been a wasted effort doing the same things to a FFRR or a Disco4!
