Uhm, let's talk about that Marriott ........

[xmanpro]

Beautiful spec and congrats! Had the same room when I did my PCD as well.

Red calipers are an outstanding choice 👍, as it ties it all in.

[GOLFFRR]

Its almost like dravit in the shade. Or dravit with no gold metallic flake in it.

Where are all of you finding nice dealers to allow you to order these 490s..I can't even get a G80 allocation and I work for one. Looks amazing though. I miss my Nardo.

Yep, that the point . Grigio Telesto is actually a Lamborghini color, but its also on alot of Porsches.

There are countless threads on here talking about how great PCD is and I’ll just add my experience to those voices. PCD is amazing and if you can reasonably make the trip down, you absolutely should. Every single instructor and member of staff at the PC is clearly passionate about what they do. I learned so much during our day there. Also, my wife might have enjoyed the handling course even more than I did! She was slinging the G80 track car through corners on her first few laps even faster than I was. Everything, from stay at the Marriott, to transit to the PC, to the food at the facility, is just top notch.

After years of admiring Grigio Telesto Pearl on F80’s, and seeing Sinjen’s G82 post, I went the next week and put my deposit down to order my G80 in Grigio Telesto Pearl, with Fiona Red full leather interior.

I was apprehensive about Fiona Red full, just because the photos typically make the red very cardinal red, and the dash look very overwhelming. After seeing mine in person, I couldn’t possibly have picked any other color. It really is more of an almost brick red in person, and is just the right balance of eye-catching but reserved. It pairs with the red calipers better than I could have imagined, and with the carbon fiber interior and red accents like the start button and paddle shifters.

Grigio Telesto is exactly what I hoped it would be. Clearly different than the mineral grey of my previous F30, and so diverse depending on lighting conditions. It can really shift from a very concrete colored almost matte grey to a much more reflective gloss just by the passing of clouds and the sun overhead. I loved Dravit and Grey Black, and was torn on the choice between these, but very glad I went with Grigio Telesto.

Only have cell phone pics from delivery day right now, I don’t think they fully capture the color, more professional shots to come.

Having never owned a car with this kind of power, I’m still getting used to the subtleties of it. My wife and I took about an 800 mile round trip to Raleigh this weekend to knock out most of the break-in period. Loving it so far. Very glad after lurking on these forums for years, to finally be an official member of the club!

Amazing! I picked up mine back In February and absolutely loved it. One of the best experiences I've ever had in my life. Can't wait to do it again in the future.

This is the color, no matter how many times you see it, its a stunner, and it makes it to the front page. Congrats OP. Shes a looker.

Grigio is actually silver flake.
Grey Black is the solid one.

Here is my f82 in Grigio Telesto

Amazing. F82 almost exactly like yours but with the 437m rims is what originally got me into this color a few years ago.

Then Sinjen ’s G82 post back in December sealed the deal and DrBob reinforced my decision after order placed.

Goheels1434 That's an awesome color & well worth the wait. Looking forward to seeing more daytime shots in the sunlight down the road.

[Jcmotors407]

Wow that's memorizing!

[XZLR8]

Absolutely gorgeous. I'm a huge fan of Dravit, personally (my third Dravit BMW is on the way, a 330i w/ Tacora Red leather), but if I were ever going to commit to the additional time/money for something more, Grigio Telesto would undoubtedly be it. Stunning.

Is this color available in the US? I saw it this morning on my commute and hadn't seen it before, nor is it on the US configurator...

It is an Individual color. You can request it, and pay extra for it (~$4500). The paint code is P6M.

They are around and some even order 490s for dealer inventory

[br438]

Gorgeous! Congrats!

[TEGRITY]

Congrats OP. Enjoy in good health.

Not trying to steal your thunder. My mate meticulously ordered this beauty in Nov 21 and it finally arrived last week of July. His circumstances had changed since and he had to forego this car and was sold in a heartbeat.
