Had a good look at an MY14 GT-R in the new Vermillion Red colour today at Glyn Hopkin in Romford as they'd borrowed one from Nissan HQ as the demo cars have not arrived yet.
It's not as bright as I was expecting, certainly nothing like the press photos.
Kind of a medium metallic red that really comes alive in the sun when the gold flake looks really good.
They have finally sorted out the suspension too.
While I didn't drive it the comfort on the road was very good, certainly noticably better than the MY11 upgraded suspension cars and with this I can't see any reason why you'd change for the Litchfield kit set up. It's close.
This car also had the red premium interior (£3,500 extra) and to be honest I just wouldn't.
It's more brown than red and it's too expensive for an optional interior trim.
The only real benefit is you do get a set of nicely trimmed back seats too, like the fronts where the stock interiors have quite basic back seats.
Overall, very nice looking car.
Maybe it doesn't even need a lairy wrap as it the sun it looks great...
Was I impressed?
Yes, I just put down a deposit. :chuckle:
