Howdy, the car we had was a test mule, so it's a standard F6 colour, most likely Toxic (but not in the Chinese paint way!). As far as true F6 R-Spec colours: there's Winter White, Lightning Strike, Vixen, Neo, Ego and Silhouette. Sorry, I don't think they have Kermit green, but you may be able to get it somehow?

Those colours, in English, translate to: white, light grey, red, mid-blue, dark grey and black. Sorry, the article is misleading, I'll be sure to slap Mr Editor around the ears with a colour chart when I next see him!

Yeah it was a Toxic coloured F6 - but that's not a standard R-Spec colour. As Jason stated the car was one of the prototype/test cars and not one of the production models - colour aside, everything else is as an R-Spec F6 will be off the showroom floor.

Could be worse, I heard the other mob managed to bend an F6 quite badly a while back. First thoughts were it was a write off, not sure if they managed to salvage it.

Why bother? so they can sell it as a demo after? I hope it was ridden off beyond repair and they can just use another.
