Although I previously posted a couple of garage pics of my D5 after a graphine coating and waxing, I thought these shots in more proper scenic sunlit settings better highlight Vesuvius Gray.

VG seems the most chameleonic of the colors. Seeming totally black with certain lighting and then highlighting the deep grey in sunlight. Probably hides the dirt well too.

Does hide most dirt fairly well from a distance. Yes, can look virtually black in shaded situations, sparkling gray in direct sunlight, and almost sea foam gray/green under fluorescent lighting. And VG is no longer available on the A8 color palette in the U.S. for 2024.

This thing is best car I ever owned, I recently raced a R8 performance AWD on drag strip and DBX 707 was side ny side I believe it’s the first or second fastest SUV in the world. I got a super great deal $25k down $2800 a month 42 month lease on a $280k car.
