Hi guys, I am trading my V6S for V8R but I can not decide between these 2 models.

Which would you go for? Looks and style wise.


Model 1 - 'Berry Black'. Ceramic breaks, yellow calipers, red interior, pan roof. Cost £3k more.

Model 2 - All black, red calipers, black interior, no panoramic roof. Is cheaper

Hay, Well obviously this is your choice and you shouldn't really let anyone else opinion sway you but that being said. Personally I would go for the 'Berry Black'. Ceramic breaks, yellow callipers, red interior, pan roof. Mainly because of the black berry colour and the carbon ceramic brakes look soooo good! :lol:

Speaking of the brakes...

they do squeak a little at low speeds and cost a bomb to replace however they produce next to no brake dust and have no brake fade when you're thrashing it. allot to be said for that. but just a few things to consider. :D

Based purely on looks it’s got to be the berry black with the ceramic brakes

Thanks for your thoughts. I see you have a similar spec but in grey. I would prefer that a grey one like yours if I could find one in my price range but so far no luck!

Definitely the Berry!
Looks so much better than plain black!
Also, when are you going to be looking through the roof while driving?
