I love the lemans was going to buy a black Z but when I saw this in person I was taken by how good it looks on the Z so I bought it all black inter though not found of the burnt orange but each to his own I'm sure this color will find its way into the hearts of Z lovers world wide alittle to bright for me but still nice to look at, good add on to colors would like to see it in person

I saw an solar orange today and although it's not for me I still thought it was a cool color. Metal flake orange. Up close you can see why it's called SOLAR ORANGE.

I made the same reference in another thread, but the newer Solar Orange is based on the classic 1970's 240Z S30 Burnt Orange:


Solar Orange


Note: it's also a good comparison on how the new 2007 hood shape is inspired by the original S30 240Z hood in those images

I looked at one yesterday, one of my local dealerships got 2 in, a silver, and a solar orange. Honestly, it looks ugly. Its like...a big pumpkin. Way too bright of an orange. I'm glad I have a LMS.

However the hood didn't look nearly as bad in person. Still prefer the older hood though.

IMO the orange looks good . at least you won't have to change the bumper reflectors to clear or black.

I like the new orange a lot. A lot of you are basing judgement on the crappy cell phone pic. Look at the high-res ones.

The new orange looks great in person. The san marino blue on the other hand looks too generic IMHO.

I think it looks good, prob what I'd get if I bought an 07. I also like LeMan Sunset, though.

I have the Lemans Roadster Rev-Up and would love to figure out a way to get an enthusiast Solar Orange coupe to go sit in the garage with the Roadster. Hopefully late in the year they will want to sell them. Right now they are talking crazy right now and cars aren't even on the lots here in Tennessee.

It doesn't look too bad, just flashy.

Lemans > Solar Orange. Though I'd have to see it in person to really compare.
