In a world of monochrome supercars, these bold colour combinations stand out for all the right reasons.
One of the biggest talking points of a car is a good spec. A colour combo that either makes your eyes widen, or just looks so classy. A loud colour with a more subdued interior, or a stealthy exterior with some contrast and a bold interior. Well-thought-out details that elevate it from a car to a piece of art. All those things are enough to turn a car you give a quick look into something you could spend half an hour looking around and talking about.
Today’s window shopping is celebrating just that, some of the best colour combos on the market today. In this article, you will see no trace of black on black, and we’ve only made an exception to grey paintwork for a multi-million-pound hypercar with a bright orange interior. Without further ado, let’s get started.
Alexanders Prestige
2025 (25) | 2,460 Miles | £369,995
Ferrari’s latest V12 flagship already has the presence to turn heads before you even get into the specification thanks to its striking and admittedly divisive styling inspired by the 365 GTB4 Daytona of the ‘70s, but this particular car goes a step further, and for me its spec makes it a little less divisive and a little more “Hmm, that’s nice you know!”
I haven’t personally been sold on the 12Cilindri yet, but this combo gives it a much more sophisticated and understated look which really suits it. Finished in Extra Range Verde Toscana with Nero DS roof, combined with Terra Antica interior, it’s flying the flag for the green over tan trend and just works in a spec that you might have seen the Daytona in some 50 years ago.
It isn’t just the colour combo either. This car has over £100,000 of options including carbon exterior trim, panoramic roof and ventilated massaging seats, perfect for that blast to the south of France!
The Ashtree Collection
1990 | 2,005 Miles | £949,995
Singer commissions are always deeply personal, and the Somerset Commission might be one of the most tasteful specs we’ve seen for some time. Finished in PTS Dark Ivory with tan square weave leather throughout, it leans heavily into vintage Porsche design language, and the result is stunning. The painted lower interior panels and matching upholstered roll cage are the sort of details that make Singer builds feel more like rolling art pieces than restored 964s, especially when you open the engine bay or frunk and find matching quilted leather lining them too.
Mechanically, it’s every bit as serious as you’d expect. This car has the upgraded Ed Pink 4.0-litre engine producing around 400hp, Öhlins suspension and Brembo brakes ensure it drives as well as it looks, while details like the centre-fill fuel cap, black Fuchs-style wheels finish off the apperance to chef’s kiss level.
Singers do not come cheap, but for those with the means who want the ultimate representation of a classic 911, there’s nothing on the same level.
European Prestige
2022 | 2,587 Miles | £359,995
At first glance, Nero Daytona is a safe option for a Ferrari 812 GTS, but the details here completely change the character of the car. The satin PPF gives the black paint a stealthier finish, the larger painted Scuderia shields on the front wings make things that bit more special, while the Rosso Ferrari carbon racing seats inject enough contrast to turn a relatively stealthy spec into something truly eye-catching.
Full red interiors can be a bit overwhelming, but this one uses just enough black to contrast the assault on the senses and strikes a really good balance, with all the right carbon options to go with it.
European Prestige
2014 | 2,126 Miles | Under Offer
Subtlety was never really on the menu with the McLaren P1, but this example absolutely embraces that fact. Volcano Yellow over… more Volcano Yellow. Even the roof scoop, which is usually left exposed carbon or black, has been colour-matched, making this one of the boldest P1 specs around.
A yellow interior sounds like something from a nightmare on paper, but it somehow works tremendously in practice, tying the whole thing together in a very unapologetically hypercar way. The P1’s design was always dramatic, and bright colours exaggerate the fact.
As all three cars of the holy trinity become ever more desirable as key milestones in hypercar history, it’s unsurprising that this P1 has been offered on so quickly.
Romans International
2025 (25) | 218 Miles | Under Offer
The Porsche 911 S/T is already shaping up to be one of the most desirable modern 911s thanks to a perfect recipe of the best bits from the GT3 RS, a manual gearbox, more road-biased suspension setup and classic wingless styling.
A Sonderwunsch (German for special request) commission takes things into another league entirely. This is one of those builds, a one-of-one in fact, finished in PTS Cobalt Blue Metallic with a bespoke Crayon leather interior — classy enough to suit the more subtle, classic styling, but modern and striking enough to stand out from the crowd, not that you’re ever likely to encounter a crowd of 911 S/Ts!
Scuderia Prestige
2025 | 202 Miles | £445,000
If Ferrari’s Tailor Made department exists to encourage customers to go slightly mad with specification, this Ferrari SF90 Spider is a perfect example of the results. Finished in Extra-Range Bianco Cervino with Nero DS two-tone bodywork Rosso Corsa liveries extending across the body and roof, there’s a huge amount going on visually — yet somehow it still works on such an outrageous car.
The interior follows the same theme, combining Rosso Ferrari Alcantara seat centres with Nero leather and Bianco stitching, while details like the airbrushed Scuderia shields and Italian flag detail on the dash reinforce the bespoke feel. Even if you cruise by silently in electric mode, no one is going to miss you in this SF90!
Mechatronik
2005 | 4,050 Km | Sold
The Maserati MC12 is one of those rare cars where the colour combination is inseparable from the car itself. Finished exclusively in Bianco Fuji with blue livery and blue leather, the MC12’s specification became part of its identity in the same way Rosso Corsa defines Ferraris.
Built primarily to homologate Maserati’s FIA GT racing programme and sharing its core DNA with the Ferrari Enzo, the MC12 always felt more motorsport prototype than traditional road car. Only 50 road-going examples were produced, and its sheer scale and theatrical styling still make it look outrageous today. In a world obsessed with bespoke specs and paint-to-sample commissions, there’s something cool about a hypercar icon that effectively said: “This is the colour. Take it or leave it”.
Premier GT
2013 (13) | 6,300 Miles | POA
The Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse was already one of the most excessive hypercars ever created, but this one turns the dial even further with a one-off spec, finished in a combination of gloss and matte Jet Grey with a Tangerine and Anthracite interior. The bright orange cabin against the muted exterior gives it that perfect high-end Bugatti contrast — sophisticated from the outside, completely theatrical once the doors open.
What really elevates this car, though, is the La Maison Pur Sang certification. Bugatti’s factory-led authentication and re-certification programme is about as close as hypercars get to receiving museum-level provenance, and very few Grand Sport Vitesses have gone through the full process. Combine that with a completely unique one-of-one configuration and the fact that this is effectively the roofless version of the Super Sport, and you’re looking at one of the most collectable Veyrons in existence.
