The colored lip thing isn't something I would do on such a special car. It's a trend (I had it on my vette years ago) that may not sit well over time. I can't imagine the mclaren f1 with a colored wheel lip, kinda the same thing IMO.

That bare carbon with red guts is the bees knees, unbelievable. I am a fan of red interiors though.

If I was going painted, it would be white with red guts and black or silver wheels


Good luck with the purchase

 

On any color, I'd get the black wheels - anodized, please.

 

I'm personally not a fan of red interiors, I had it once in an Aston and it gets really tiring after some time.
If I do tan, it would be a special stained tan color. from my experience in dealing with leather, I believe tan is the best color to showcase the richness of high quality leather, and it is timeless. Just my humble opinion.

 

Yes I have corresponded with the factory.

 

That's great

 

I do like tan as well, and with the carbon and polished aluminum bits, will be beautiful. Still a naked carbon fan, pagani is carbon perfection, how could you want to paint it?!

 

Leatherfoot, will you be allowed to visit the factory during the build process? It would be awesome if you could share some photos here if you do. It will be quite some time away of course.

 

Leatherfoot, I have seen and had experience of a number of Zonda's and Huayra's and personally I would not recommend a full carbon Huayra and here's why.

The Huayra is a "BIG" car with a much fuller body style than the Zonda, because of that it is much more sensitive to colour choice than the Zonda was. It’s a bit like comparing what a super model can ware and get away with and what a very attractive lady with a fuller figure can get away with. It’s not the same.

So if it was me I would recommend a bi-colour option like some of the recent cars we see coming out of the factory. Bare carbon is great but too much of it smacks of over kill and the effect is lost.

As for the interior your choice of tan is a good one as it goes with most things. But could I also recommend you look at having the Ali parts anodised black as it tones down the bling a little and adds a real sense of class. Check out the inside of a Cinque to so how good the effect is.

PS I would also recommend going for black wheels on any bi-coloured car as it plays beautifully against the carbon pieces

 

Black anodized interior aluminum parts would the best for the interior, IMO.
For the exterior I'd go for a paint scheme like this one or similar:



But with the blue of the Zonda HH instead of red:



And to finish the exterior I'd go for black anodized wheels and blue calipers in combination with the exterior color

 

Windspeed you have illustrated my point very well, as a matter of fact I was going to mention the HH as having a perfect colour combination that would translate very well onto a Huayra. The only thing I ever thought that let the HH down was its lack of Black wheels
