I originally wanted one of the purples, whether thundernight or otherwise, but I've very much fallen in love with Toronto Red. I think it matches the personality of the car perfectly, and people really respond to it. Maybe if/when there is a CS model, I might go individual purple, but sadly there is no silverstone interior with the M2 to get the combination I want. Very happy with TR for as long as I have it.

I have to agree. I've only owned 1 red sports/performance car, and that was 25 years ago. I like the orange undertone of TR and think it's the best M2 color available with maybe Frozen Grey. Had a guy the other day race through some traffic to get up next to me and he pulled out his camera filming the car for a good 3-4 miles, then gave me a big as he drove off. Usually only have that happen in my Z06.

Even people in exotics love this car. I live in an area where very affluent people happen to pass through or hang out (I'm not one of them), but I've gotten thumbs up from Ferraris, McLarens, 911 GT cars, even a G Wagon here and there. I don't know what it is about the M2, but people love seeing it on the road. Probably because there is nothing else like it around, and given the economic circumstances in the US right now, the G87 might not end up being as common as the F87.

I've yet to come across another G87 on the road. I, too, live in a very affluent area. My wife & I were in the car the other day next to a brand new McLaren & he gave a thumbs up as well.

Let’s say all three colors were going to be available…

What is your order of preference ⁉️

Personally:

1) Voodoo
2) Fire 💥 Red
3) Thundernight

And number three would be a last resort because I’m not sure I can own a purple m car but I’d definitely rent one

Yeah man, it looks nice…loud though. Definitely a “look at me” kind of color.

What color wheels would you chose if you went Voodoo Blue? Silver? Gold? Dark Grey?

What color wheels would you chose if you went Voodoo Blue? Silver? Gold? Dark Grey?
Gloss Black

I’m as predictable as a caveman… 🤣

What about you? What would you choose?

I use to think black also but the more I thought about it getting black wheels hides a lot of the details of the wheel. I think I would lean towards something like a hyper silver.

When they are 💯confirmed, I will get excited.

In the meantime I am excited to be talking about different options.

I seriously doubt we will ever see voodoo blue unless there’s an individual program.

I agree with the Voodoo Blue being an individual color.

I wouldn’t mind purple, but I think ///M need to give us the ability to opt for Black Brakes ‼️

I don’t like red or blue brakes with the Purple paint
