    Jake, I watched carefully all the GTS pics I could find online, and told myself NO WAY it can be the same color as the LaFA , until I saw that one. It makes me think that with heavy picture editing and foolish lightning it could be the same but absolutely not sure

    In this pic you see that hint of grey/violet of Ahrabian that is lacking on others pics

    I see what you mean...However I'm still very opposed, it's only in that one angle and shade of light do they look even remotely similar. Think about all the shades of Ferrari blue or grey, like comparing Grigio Granito to Grigio Silverstone, or Azzuro California to Azzuro Metallizzatto such small differences but entirely different paints. I think there is more to this story.

    This looks like Ahrabian to me...the colour is VERY light-dependent by the way...

    Gentlemen, In an atelier session today I was offered Arabian blue, without the “h” and I’m not sure if it’s the color in this discussion, no pictures of cars could be shown unfortunately but I’m very keen to know if anyone can provide a final conclusion.

    Two separate colours! The pictured cars are AHrabian, not Arabian.

    That makes sense as the color I saw online during the atelier session was more of a grey with blue reflections, the AHrabian car featured media coverage in the states is much darker. I was told Arabian blue, is 3/4 layers and costs around 27k USD.

    The color is the same. From my recent exposure- Marcel Correct me please

    Blu Ahrabian is named for the former head of Ferrari Financial which was on a speciale, TDF, LaF etc. The color has remained the same per my discussion of this color with Tailor Made ( but I am not saying it is the same but that it is SAID to be the same). Some of you ( Boots) know that I am contemplating this color on a 296 GTS or if there is a 296 VS ....

    Here are the pictures from the dealer selling the Ahrabian Blu Ahrabian Speciale also with pictures of the TDF.

    Of note, the speciale looks gray in flat light and blue in briaght light. I am looking at the smoking gun video of the BA GTS now:


    Matt Harrah says its Abu Dhabi Blu in the video (FYI).

    They show the differential shade at the 24:00

    Shows the differential light as well






    Any mistakes are mine and unintentional.

    Well. Eff him. When a “star” alienates his intended audience …… doesn’t turn out well.

    @clockem I didn’t want to post until I confirmed.

    It’s blu simmond Image Unavailable, Please Login


    @Boots I’m obsessing over this. The speciale
    Looks amazing and if the color did change I would not be happy.

    I found this color separately looking for a color my wife said was ideal



    BTW note the spelling

    Dr Darius Ahrabian.

    It looks that color got maybe small upgrade, because on exclusivecarregistry is rewritten color of Mr. Ahrabian Daytona SP3 from "Blu Ahrabian" to "Blu Ahrabian Evo" and also when looks on SP3 color looks slightly darker as was on LaFerrari....but maybe its only light conditions. At the end this color looks amazing and on car like LaFerrari or Daytona SP3 it looks perfect. Hope one day we will see it also on "F250" :)
