Skyscraper grey or dravit grey
My allocation is up next and still can’t decide a color!! I was going with black first but gray suits me more.
I love how both look I’m going with the fjord blue interior to get that retro Batman look lol I know picture and the configurator doesn’t do It justice but I would love to see pictures of your car or just youre opinion of what grey to get!? Also you’re opinion on bucket seats too! Thank you !!! |

I'd personally pick skyscraper. I thought it was very classy and with fjord blue, kyalami will give you some sportiness. I finally saw dravit in person and I wasn't super impressed, even in sunlight. But I might be in the minority lol

If you're going with Fjord, don't do Dravit, stick with either Skyscraper or Brooklyn (or do Individual and go with Storm Bay Metallic).

I was torn between the two colors as well.
Ended up with Skyscraper, but Dravit is extremely popular. Either way you’re not gonna go wrong. |

Wow, I didn't realize how popular skyscraper gray is among enthusiasts. I think they are two completely different colors.
If you want a light "white" / "silver" vibe, go Skyscraper. If you want a dark and more conventional gray, go with Dravit. I would rather get a real silver or a real white rather than Skyscraper Gray, but just can't get over how aggressive and sleek Dravit is in different lighting scenarios. |

Was also on the fence, had skyscraper ordered but switched to dravit. Wanted something a bit more special. No regrets, but I also appreciate the simplicity of skyscraper.
One edit: I was also coming off of 5 years in a Hockenhiem silver M2C, so wanted to switch it up a bit. |

Skyscraper highlights the lines of the car beautifully and has lots of shading in the sun. And I love how the black bits contrast with it. That’s my pick!

Exactly this. I have a DG X5 and it’s neat, and different, but when I see an SG G8x I always appreciate how it makes the angles pop.

Also looked at Dravit but the day that I went to see it on the lot, the sun made it look too much like brown for me so I went with Skyscraper. I can’t have a brown looking car even if it’s for a few hours in specific sunlight.
Skyscraper for the win. |

With a blue interior 100% go Skyscraper.
I’ve owned both colours (Manual SSG G80 with a black interior and my current X-drive comp in Dravit with Tartufo) Dravit is dynamic in different lighting and interesting, but does have gold, olive tones in direct sunlight. In overcast it’s grey. Skyscraper is silver with some blue undertones in certain light. The blue interior suits that colour imo.

I was torn between the two colors also but ended up with Dravit Grey. I saw a Skyscraper Grey car on the lot and it didn't hit like the Dravit, so I switched back. You cant go wrong with either color. Here are two pics taken in different sunlight.

Skyscraper for me but I'm biased 3 years in and I still love the combo of SG over KO... my LCI car will have big shoes to fill.

One more vote for skyscraper! If i hadn’t chosen an individual green than skyscraper would have been my color. Now you can go with silver wheels for a more elegant look.

Dravit is an amazing color. One of their best imo.
Skyscraper to me is a generic grey similar to space gray on the e9x. Doesn’t look bad but nothing stunning about it. |
