If you guys seen the X models. It'll be the same color. What's the confusion about? Camera plates tricks.

Maybe it's a different color to those who are color blind to green?

I'm going to drive an hour just to look at an X6M LBB tomorrow. I can't figure it out on a computer screen.

Did I hear farts on the exhaust note like the F8X? or is it the wind on the camera's mic?

Thanks for the pics & video. LBB looks stunning in those pictures, i have been asked to lock in my colour choice now as my production date has moved forward. This helps confirm i made the right choice of LBB.

Isn't it weird that all the LBB cars have the same license plate number?

My guess is that opening the trunk helps cool down the muffler faster.
It's right under the trunk, obv. So the trunk doesn't become hot air storage.

But opening the fuel filler door? Does the fuel filler neck get THAT hot?!?

Hope this helps with the color mystery, and to my point about, "it must be the Laguna Seca Blue sunshine":

When we see color, we are actually looking at reflected light. When illuminating an object or scene, a light source emits a spectrum of colored wavelengths. For example, sunlight emits a spectrum including infrared, ultraviolet and all visible wavelengths, whereas candlelight emits only red, orange, yellow and infrared wavelengths, giving everything it illuminates an orange cast.

When a scene or object is illuminated, some of the light source’s wavelengths are absorbed and some are reflected. The reflected wavelengths create what we perceive as color. If no light is reflected (or if there is no illumination), the scene or object looks black.

The color of an object depends on two factors – the color of the light source and which wavelengths of light the object reflects. To view the true color of an object, we must illuminate it with a light source that includes all the wavelengths that the object will reflect. For example, if a light source only emits a partial range of wavelengths, an object’s true color may not be visible. For example, if we shine a light source emitting red, green and blue wavelengths at a red strawberry, then the green and blue wavelengths will be absorbed and the red wavelength will be reflected. This means that the strawberry will appear red. However, if only green and blue wavelengths are emitted, they will both be absorbed and the strawberry will appear black.

This being said, when viewing or capturing the true color of an object you must know the entire spectrum of the light source. Fluorescent lights in a show room or building are not a good source. Also, an over cast day or smog will filter some wavelengths and therefore not provide a accurate color palet.
