Which interior with Tanzanite Blue?

Yas_sir · 03-08-2021, 01:49 PM

Hi all. I have a Tanzanite G80 on order, but I'm really struggling with interior color options. Figured I try a poll to see what people think would work best with tanzanite.

I only have options in the poll I would consider. I know people love Tartufo, but it's just not my taste. My two toddlers would destroy Silverstone, so that's out.

m630 · 03-08-2021, 02:14 PM

I think your only option is black. The other colors will share the same fate as silverstone if thats the decider.

Your name is Yas_Sir...I think that means Yas Marina is a no brainer

Orange with Taz is what I would do! that pops so good with that color

Rick955 · 03-08-2021, 02:34 PM

In your shoes I'd go for the Fjord. It's not black so you have some color that goes perfectly with Tanz. It's dark enough (unlike YAS where I'd be worried about little fingers, especially all over those yellow parts). You don't care for the Tartufo and while I really like Kyalami too, it's lighter than Tartufo. Not sure what you planned for the Brakes? If you do the Kyalami the red brakes would (IMHO) be too much. Red, Orange, Tanz... so Blue or Black. With Fjord, you can still do the red and it will look great. If you want some color and keep the worrying about toddler troubles off your mind, Fjord seems like a good option.

Sorry for the somewhat sh*tty pictures in advance. I was going to go with Brooklyn grey and YMB interior which i saw in person last week, and then i saw this combo today. I was stunned at how nice the taz looks. This one has the KO interior, not the greatest pics again, but the shot from the top you can at least see the color combo together...this is what im going with.

CanuckM · 03-08-2021, 05:37 PM

I went with the Kyalami Orange with Tanzanite exterior. I was so so tempted to go Silverstone ( I know you don't love it) but I think the contrast just really works.

I know we are talking apples and oranges as well but if it's a very similar color combo that Rolls Royce likes to use for their cars. Dark Royal Blue on Orange Interior.

I selected Fiona red in the poll, to reflect what I’d pick if I was worried about kids. My own G80 TB II is coming with Silverstone

Are you getting CF or regular seats? It affects what choices you have

I’m getting the CF seats. Definitely should have mentioned.

Haha. Long story, but I no longer have my old Yas F80. I would have loved to pay tribute to that car with a Yas interior, but I just don’t know if I’m feeling the yellow. I really wish it was just Yas and black.

I currently have blue planned for the calipers, but that could change based on the interior color. I would love to check out Fjord in person, or at least how it looks with the G80 interior.

Thanks for sharing the pics. This combo wasn’t on my radar at all, but it’s grown on me a lot since seeing pics.

This was one of my original thoughts. Darker blue and red are such a classic combo.

Thanks for sharing. It definitely is a color combo that works well. I’m a Knicks fan too, so there’s that connection too. Haha.

I might have misstated how worried I am about my kids. I think white would be difficult, but I’m not so worried about other colors.

Fiona Red not available with CF.

rak299 · 03-09-2021, 12:31 AM

There is a new ordering guide (Feb 3) that has footnotes that the 2 new colors (red and brown) cannot be ordered with carbon seats. I wanted brown to go with IOMG and had to take black (2nd choice) or get sport seats

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I guess Fiona is out for sure.

heckyeahbro69 · 03-09-2021, 02:17 PM

If you dont want silverstone or ivory white, black is your only choice imo. Ivory white looks so good with tanzanite though

I like it, even the black wheels which I'm usually not a fan. Color combo looks great!

Yas_sir · 03-12-2021, 02:13 PM

Thanks for the responses everyone.

I finally got to see Tanzanite in person and...I had a change of heart. I really like it, but wanted something a bit more sporty looking. I decided to go with Santorini blue. Only extended build time by two weeks. Hopefully I made the right choice. haha

Santorini is a gorgeous color, don't think you'll regret that switch at all.

opielm · 04-06-2021, 08:59 PM

Excellent choice. I did the same specs except Silverstone. Seriously considering a change before I go 150. Bear Down
