There's only one colour.....Sprint blue. With Ink coming in second place. Question: how many Ferraris and other Italian sports cars are daubed with insipid bluegh? Oh, that's right, none! The vast majority of *proper* Italian sports cars are red Most Lambo's don't seem to be red from what i've seen - maybe they're not real sports cars I knew I'd seen this somewhere on here, and I was reminded it of it the other day in the "reading room" when I spotted a copy of Autocar with a cover story of the "Speed Red" Lambo Aventador....and then a red on Auto Express, Car, etc etc etc

I agree I also like ink black too seen as I have one although its probably the worst colour as soon as it gets a speck of dirt on it needs to be immaculate and swirl mark free to look half descent which it hardly ever is on mine. Love coming out to it though lit up at night in the petrol station looks 8) My other faves. Vinci Grey Speed Red Wine Red Broom Yellow Sprint Blue Electric Blue Steel Grey Scotts Green. Dislike: Moon Grey undecided some look lovely others look turd. Porto a colour that looks sexually confused. Porto

IMO 1= Sprint Blue is perfect. Yellow is the same. 3 Speed Red should be best but I'd prefer a bloody red like Alfa Rosso 130 which would look more like this: . 4 Ink black - high maintenance but low key and nice when polished. 5 Green - looks great on cars with wider wheels/ LE kits etc.

I have three favourites, no order though. Electric blue, Porto and Broom. Have owned the Electric Blue previously and now have a Porto. Yellow will be next unless I get my project on the road before then. I would love to do one in purple flip

You're all wrong; there is only one proper colour for a coupe:
16v metallic black. Suave, sophisticated, subtle...
All the others are pale imitations, or look-at-me attention getters. I just noticed, are we the only metallic black owners on here? It's not a common colour. Which makes me think, what are the rarest colours?

Fiat advertised them originally in Broom Yellow and then in Sprint Blue. Both are striking colours. However in the Porto from 1996, the coupe was in an individual colour which has stood the test of time well. Take a look at the 1996 Autocar to see what I mean? My Porto is far from the best example, but I think it was DLT's I saw at the Cheddar Gorge meet, which looked absolutely fantastic (aside from an expensive looking dent on the bonnet ) Best of all though,the variety of colours Fiat gave us, can keep us all happy!!!!

It's not pearl white though, it's an Audi white. Either way I love it and don't understand why Fiat didn't do an 'official' white Coupe (in the UK)
