That is blaze. I've seen it on an XR6 and a Territory at work. It should be available now. There is also a new green called Toxic that is like citric acid but a few shades greener and a new blue that looks a bit like Blueprint but brighter and non metallic, and a pinky purple that looks very out there. They should be available in a few months time if they are selected for production, they are currently on trial.

The new blue which replaced Blueprint and is a bit darker but non metallic is called Shockwave and the lighter Blue is called Velocity

Saw a new Pursuit on display at Ferntree Gully Ford last night, Rapid (yellow) with the black stripes and bonnet decals, very tasty indeed.

I like the sound of Toxic. I've always thought Citric Acid needed to be more Green.

The Pinky-Purple, could it be something like the old XB Mulberry colour?? Now that would be something!!!

Can't wait.

Some interesting colours there. I've heard of Toxic but not this new pinky purple.

Are they actually new colours or is Ford just failing to clean nozzles in the spray booths between colours.

Good on Ford for more colour range! Keep a few tame ones too please. :
