Saw a new spy shot of a Zinc Grey car posted on Instagram a couple hours ago (below), so I figured I'd kick off a new thread for this colour, just like the other FE colours have. :)

lol... pulled my deposit and went for a nardo rs5 partly because I wasn't happy with the color choices... go figure!

I'll circle back around if they come out with a bit more track focused version maybe.
 
I tend to like this type of color on vehicles, and really like it (or similar) on the Evora GT. However, I'm not really liking it at all on the Emira. Perhaps because that particular car desperately needs black wheels and blackpack.

agreed, the wheels will make a ton of difference
 
Kind of colour I like seeing and respect other people for buying but could not do it myself. It's just so... grey!
 
Don't like this colour on the Emira. Makes it look cheap. On an Audi station like RS4 it looks cool...but I believe Emira is soooo much more design wise that it deserves a more 'high end finish' vs the primer-look of Nardo Grey ;-)
 
Kind of a sad color, I think one might get bored after a bit. But good to see on the street for variety.
 
This color does not look good at all on this car. I'm looking at the Chalk 911 in the background and thinking that would be a lot better.
 
Damn, I never realized just how unpopular this colour was!! 😆 And I can't even use the word "polarizing", because I count maybe one positive comment in this whole thread... Haha

Throwing in my 2¢, hmmm... Yeah, I think I'd actually prefer a colour like Porsche's "Chalk Grey" over Lotus' Zinc Grey. The former is much warmer, and I've always loved how surprisingly-sporty it looks on 911s:

agreed, the other nardo/chalk greys look better, but in fairness I don't know that i trust many of the emira photos at this point. even the few above, one from the front looks warmer to me by quite a bit.
 
I’ve never understood why anyone would purposefully paint their car in undercoat. I’m assuming anyone who does just isn’t a handyperson.

Now I would take this 911 in a heartbeat in that color scheme, very different!
 
I've been a fan of this shade of gray on cars since Nardo launched, but I believe it's been played out at this point. 5 years ago, it was truly unique... Now you can buy a Honda Civic in this color.
