Anyone else finding the truth about this colour hard to find? Ford configurator is rubbish, dealers haven't got a clue and the Internet provides photos of dozens of shades of blue all called lightning!!!
I have my car ordered and have just weeks to make up mind of colour. Unless I can see real example of what this blue will look like I will stick to my current choice of magnetic!!!

There are a few pictures of a leaked dirty test car. Have you seen those? They are in the general s550 section on here.


Thank you I have. But why is that colour so different from lightning blue on F150 or new Raptor or fusion. They all say lightning blue and they are all different.

IIRC isn't the lightning blue the exact same colour that is on the GT350, which means there are plenty of pics to see of that colour on an S550 shape.

That GT350 is Liquid Blue.

This was used on the GT350, Raptor and Focus RS show cars only. Ford says the process used to paint the cars is too complex to use in production, sadly.

The '17MY Order Guides are due to be released early next week (in the US) and these might give us some examples of the new colours. At least, I hope so!

Yep, the production GT350s for '15 & '16 are Deep Impact Blue.......and just like the rest of the S550s, they'll lose that colour for '17 and have the Lightning Blue instead :)
