Fantale

[VS 5.0]

On the subject of Fantale, I snapped this yesterday at the Peter Brock Memorial Cruise.

It was shiny but just seemed to be lacking something.

Clearly fantale orange isn't the same colour as there 'show' car

Looks like Holden used the same Colour for the VF Show Car that GM used for the G8 GXP Show Car

^^ Holden used that colour (or very close to it) as their "hero colour" in the VX SS days!

Yeah the show color looks closer to Tiga Mica whereas Fantale is more of an Orange.

 

[VE_BerLina]

Yep the show car was more Candy Orange but the Production version is more flat or dull

Couple more pics of the Show Car ...

End of the day 'fantale' is the nickname Holden gave the colour. For whatever reason they changed the production colour from the early sample (the demo car above) they do this a lot. I've seen a pale version of ignition orange before and there was very very limited number of kapow blue series 1s and I've even seen hazard yellow series ones just before the series 2 cars were released
