I havent seen one in person either but based on what I have, Santorini seems to stay a darker shade even in the sun where voodoo seems to lighten up a lot.

These Santorini II pics drive me further into Daytona/Voodoo/Santorni II purgatory.

Beautiful for sure. Have you seen this thread?

https://g80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1892983

I actually got a Daytona vs Voodoo sample from him and they came out pretty much how I expected. I feel like Daytona is in a category of its own compared to the other 3 he has, but if you are torn between Voodoo and Santorini it may help you out.

Love it. That's my plan, daytona blue with silverstone on 825m orbit gray. I think the orbit gray wheels make the car look much more of a classier look. Very under appreciated

To me, Santorini looks dull, boring and unsaturated compared to DB and VB.

Well, those definitely aren’t the attributes I’d be driving for.

Everyone is different but you need to be sure when you buy that colour.

As a side note, it took the dealer a year to sell it.
Wise advice - but why were you sick of the color so quickly? Was it too bright, too light, too turquoise, too blue, too loud, too much???

So I always liked the colour but never committed to actually ordering it but I decided to just do it once and see how I liked it. The problem I had was more about how bad the front grille looked on that colour. It just didn’t work for me so when the dealer made me the offer, I jumped at it.

I ended up selling my 24’ Brooklyn grey last month mainly because I got sick of the size of the car and I couldn’t get to like the front end enough to justify it so I just picked up a G87 M2 that for me, has much better proportions and a front end that I really like (love the rear too).

My car is currently at the port. Hoping for end of May/early June but check this out. When I enter my vin into this link, it sure as hell looks more Daytona than Voodoo....

Ok, Gents. Was watching a recent Law & Order episode and this 911 GT2 RS popped up in the scene. I initially thought it might be Voodoo but the actor opened the door and then I thought maybe Mexico. My iPhone pumped up the color too much (lighter blue on tv) but the episode is S23 E4 (about 5 mins in). Head scratcher.

Nice. I was also looking at Voodoo but went with Daytona at the time but you can’t go wrong. It’s going to look amazing.

Apologies in advance. I will get better pics at some point. I’ve been running out of time and couldn’t take both cars out to photograph in sunlight.
