Grigio Ingrid... Grandma color, or awesome special order color?

I had a 911 turbo in polar silver. It's a silver with light bluish undertones.

I convinced myself that I liked the color, but was never really sold on it. I ended up selling the car, because of the color.

My advice is if you don't love it, pass on it.

 

My 456MGT was Grigio Ingrid which suited the car very well, not so much for a 360.

 

The exterior I like but that interior just doesn't do it for me.

 

+1 Needs to be a darker interior, maybe even a blue.

Regardless, Grigio Ingrid is better suited for the V12 GTs in my opinion.

 

I like the color -- sort of like the gunmetal on a Aston Martin DB4.

If resale (and thus broad appeal) is a concern... keep looking.

 

i like it. but i am into different schemes. the interior is very nice.

 

It depends on the car. I think it is not something I appreciate on a smaller body like the 360. But it would look really nice on a 612.

 

I love Grigio with a black interior. Its a more subtle color.. just get a gold iPhone to match it. I do agree that it "fits" the GT's a little bit better...

Though that interior.. I'd pass on that or dye it. Crema and 1970's MG brown.. blah!

 

Not really a fan to be honest.

 

+1. Rare colors are often rare for a reason.

Sorry, but that color combo looks terrible.

 

I have to agree. I'm not a fan of interior or exterior but especially not in combo with each other.

 

When I was shopping for my 360 I came across a Grigio Ingrid spider. I was looking for a yellow or blue Modena but something about this color kept me coming back to look at it. Out in the sunlight the color really looked spectacular. I agree it is a color better suited for a GT as it's more elegant than sporty.

Just found a pic of it.

I have a grigio ingrid modena with black interior. I love it and get compliments all the time. My neighbor's comment (who is a car guy) is my favorite, "my favorite thing about your ferrari is that it's not red." Someone also told me that Alonzo has a grigio ingrid 458, but not sure that's true. Actual ran into a guy in another grigio ingrid 360 at a local gas station last year. Was a 1 in a million random meeting.

 

It's one of those colors I like simply because it's very different.

To me it's like the old BMW color Bronzitbeige Metalic, I've owned 3 in that color because they were always cheaper than the more common colors (black, silver, white), and when it's clean it shines and really stands out when parked next to others.

Not sure that a car like a Ferrari really needs an "off" color to attract attention though

 

Be careful with lighter (even medium) colored dashboards. They can be annoying when the sunlight reflects off them onto the inside of the windshield.

 

Me either, I think Grigio is better suited with black or maybe a dark blue. Just my opinion.

 

tim, here is a thought.
firstly, is the car at a slight discount because of the color?
if so, then you can benefit from a cheap entry fee.
secondly, you could easily wrap this car in a chocolate brown metallic, which would look stunning with that interior. and the upside would be that you would be keeping the original paint in good order underneath.

so as long as the mechanicals etc are good, this is something i would consider.

 

Think I saw that car at WWOC in spring valley ny

 

Ingrid to me is very subtle and better used on a larger GT.
