Need pics of black and boost blue.

These are my favorite pictures so far

Wow...in that light, doesn't even look like champ white, more pure white similar to the Golf R

Yes, appears there is no dog piss in this years paint.

Probably the lighting in combination with the phone settings like auto white balance. Have to see it with my own eyes to confirm.

Love black on the FK8 and how it sleeks out a lot of the 'action' in the styling. The less overdone trim/plastic bits on this new model looks more pleasing when contrasted with lighter paint imo.

I expect it to look downright menacing. Could be the color that people are sleeping on (though I’m guilty, too, being committed to Champ White).

you could kind of compare the wide/stance to an f80 m3, and black in the f80 is incredible

I like how much lower the new car looks. I bet if there are stark differences in the Nürburgring time, a lower CG likely contributed. If not, it looks a bit sleeker to me regardless, which I'm happy with

11th gen I am sure

The FK8 looks like a dinosaur. This aligns with my own personal experience; when the 11th gen first hit dealerships, I went to check them out. One happened to be parked nose-on with a new 2021 FK8, allowing me to compare them directly in person. The new car is so much lower, longer, and leaner than the 10th gen. It's really striking in person.

This side-by-side really shows how sleek the FL5 looks...and how noisy the FK8 looks

Wow black is amazing. I knew it would be.
