Very nice looks like the orange they did in the pics.. which coincidently I saw last night and that looked superb

If it's a 17-plate, it'll be Race Red. Masquerading as Competition Orange thanks to the cellphone snap.

Whatever it's called, it looks like a good colour- enjoy it!

[downthepub]

Agreed, I like 'em in the brighter colours!

Yes, race red, strong sunlight behind me coming over the stand of the Bradford city football ground must have blinded my camera phone

Thankyou, will do there's 2 yellow one's there too and the Red is brighter than both

[Merc 450]

Still a bit orange looking and thats Fords own photographer

Got all the options apart from alloys which is good as i prefer the black ones.
It's on a 17 plate because it's been a showroom static demo for 3 months so has no mileage

If you look up that colour on the configurator there is definitely a hint of orange.

Great colour; I took the coward's route and went for Magnetic grey so it would attract less unwelcome attention whilst parked on the street (ie, all the time).

I originally ordered mine in ruby red, but due to a long and boring story, ended up with race red instead. I still love the ruby, but the race red is beautiful in the metal, and I wouldn't swap it now.

Same here I originally wanted triple yellow but saw mine parked between two triple yellow ones, one with stripes and one without and mine was the louder shinier shoutier car by far . You will no what I mean sun on race red is awesome. Still getting used to people taking pics of it and calling it car porn

A lovely guy in a Maserati(!) followed me for about a mile to my house a few weeks ago, because he wanted a look around the car. I've never had such an attention-grabbing car, it's kind of weird!

Mine looks red in the shade then very bright red in the sunlight, which looks orange on photos

You sure it was a static demo?

Congrats! I dig the color. Any future modification plans for it?
