Another Atlantis Blue G80 Has Entered the Chat

Finally.... after 8 long months Arrived last week and currently getting ceramic coated applied but was able to snag a few photos and videos for the past week I have had it.

I will say, Atlantis is incredibly difficult to capture on camera. It looks very similar to Long Beach Blue in photos but completely different in person. I was nervous about this build, especially with the KO interior, but I absolutely have fallen in love.

Lots planned for the build, once the break-in is done and some other cosmetics once it's finished getting detailed. Feel free to follow along on IG (@lostcitym3). Been posting some reels/pics in the meantime.

You should make sure you get some sky or water in all of your pix.

Haha, no kidding!

I haven't had a chance to really drive it, just dropped it off to get detailed / ceramic /tints etc... still working on breaking it in. Will need to take proper pics eventually.

The detail shop is right next to IND, which is a nice bonus since they can both work together on the installs of any exterior parts.

Congrats! Was looking at that colour too but decided to go with Daytona blue and can't go wrong with either.

Congrats!

Great color! Do you happen to know the name of the darker blue to the right of yours in the pictures?

Yes, that one is Portimau blue. Someone else order at the same dealership with the Fiona Red buckets.

I believe Atlantis Blue looks more green in person. Digital cameras don't pick up its true hue without special filters/processing.

Very true, yes. I think he means the other G80 that is in one of the dealership pictures next to mine which is Portimao blue.

But indeed, it is very hard to capture Atlantis blue on camera without using a filter. None of the images above have a filter on it and it makes Atlantis very similar to long beach blue.

100% this is way closer, here's a picture I just took and it almost looks Cobalt blue (which it isnt):
