Odd colour for a sporty design but I think their European design studio guys are ex Audi & Opel. Reminds me of a 60s Beetle colour called Panama Beige, but this one probably has high content of mica flakes and metal powder for a metallic/pearlescent look. From the sporty aspect it may not be too bad, because I've seen a Ferrari 250GTO in a similar colour in Japan. Colour is called ‘Cashew’ as in cashew nut.

Milky-Milky... seldom see this color hor.... maybe it will look good on a P1 or P2. You see people so daring to try. Hey, what is this color call ?

Seldom we see more than 70% of a concept car is preserved in a production car. But as far as this concept car is concerned, it sure looks good... although I would prefer less blink-blinks (chrome and silver-linings) all-round the bottom-half of the car. Like... on the door panel (lower portion), the rims (yes, even the rims is blink-blink type), front and rear bumpers also got chrome edges. Then again, this is fo-sho version ma.
