Re: 918 latest news
Basalt Black. Black interior with acid green piping. Carbon interior trims and the lift kit. My shortest option list ever for a Porsche.
Yes it was, but today it was a $0 option 
.
But I hate silver, or any shades of silver/grey, about the lightest shade of greyish silver I can stand is Meteor Grey, that general hue is just too boring to me personally.

Do you have the part number for these 918 -1:43 scale?

Ironically probably the most expensive too heh.

Re: 918 latest news
I am actually pretty sure it is lake Garda but the 918 looks kind of photoshopped in, I don't know. Looks as if someone put a 918 photo over a Boxster photo..., it looks weird.

I'm almost sure it's not photoshopped, here's another one.
This one looks better. Crappy camera? Maybe a scan of a photo?
Thanks and yes, this is lake Garda (Torbole? in the north?). I've just been there and saw a white Panamera Turbo facelift with BB-UX license plates.

Spyderidol:
White is for refrigerators and other kitchen appliances
. Your black will look much classier and radical (if kept clean)
I agree that white is not suitable for such a car and that a shining black will look spectacular.
But look at the picture below and imagine the numerous sensuous surfaces and the shades created by the play of that will be lost with the black body.
It will be pity not enjoy this superb body in Liquid Silver or similar.

Metallic black acts as a mirror when properly cleaned and waxed. While everything disappeared in the dark, in sunlight every reflects off it and no other color can match, maybe the new liquid metal but I haven't seen that in person.
On the contrary to common believe, white is the one that hides most details on the surface, it's 'too reflective' like artic silver, in sunlight all one see is one big blob of silver or white and no details. The lines on my McLaren disappears in sunlight :(

Re: 918 latest news
Black will look by far the most stunning in real life. Too bad in pics it's usually not showing at all.
