Quick iPhone photos at dealer, a strange lens filter thing going on a bit as it is not quite that dark. Funny I went looking totally fixated on gloss black accents but really liked the overall look of this one.

The car was sat ready to go without a buyer at Sheffield Audi, the guys there did say that the dealer principal had been waiting 6 months for the car to arrive, had a nice Nogaro one as well, choices, choices! 10 days because unfortunately I cant get there until then with work commitments.

I like the Voodoo blue one a lot but the Sheffield Audi Nogaro was unbeatable for me colour-wise. My son took a pic but the light wasn't great so the blue came out a fair bit darker than it really is.

Dragon the Nogaro one looks amazing and I have always been a fan of this colour but sat next to the Riviera it just seemed a little reserved. I know it's not everyone's thing but I really like a bright colour and there won't be too many about. I believe I test drove the car you pictured - incredible car cannot wait to collect next week!

What can I say Dragon, I agree!!! either buy Coulsdon or Sheffields Noggy standards, or get your order in quick for the PE, I ordered mine crikey in December not far after Mike, and mine is confirmed build week 16 and Mike's is on the way!

Just re read what you said. I used to have a 911 Turbo, I loved it, with a 7 & 5 year old I wanted daddy cool, my kids love being in these cars and having fun - soon enough and when the business grows you'll find me back in a 911

I do like the Voodoooooooo (best colour for a yorkshireman methinks) but I have got to stand firm and get the noggy out of my system. Shame is that confirmed today I cannot spec amend for the ceramics, spec locked this early!!! best get your spec right first time, i chose:

AF2S3TK1

And I am bloody excited, also got me nice and focussed at work!!! So Noggy. Otherwise Ford Imperial Blue if you could get it.

How much is Voodoo as an Audi Exclusive colour?

Waiting to hear what it would cost on a 911, but it's a still a special order colour whereas Sapphire's a no cost colour on 911's. Was dead set on Sapphire but having seen photos of Voodoo on a 911 it looks stunning. It's a £3300 option on a Macan so i can only assume it's roughly the same on the rest of the models.

Colour to sample should be on the configurator, pretty sure it's the same cost across the range.

Porsche don't seem to list Voodoo on their 911 config at all anymore so it would be a "special cost" :) Another pic of Sapphire blue on mine here: http://i367.photobucket.com/albums/oo11 ... 90fe39.jpg

991 GT3 that JZM sold last year in Voodoo Blue, looks stunning on a 911, especially the GT3.

Does look stunning. Saw a photo of a Gen II Turbo S in Voodoo yesterday & nearly had a trouser accident. Hoping it's not a silly money paint option.
