Finally got to see my car MSO Volcano Orange in person, this afternoon. Interesting to see the color variations for daylight and under lights in a garage. It's kind of ironic as my original order was McLaren Orange and sitting next to my car in the garage today was just that! Thank you Josh from McLaren Palm Beach for making this happen. Super excited and hope to be behind the wheel mid week after full car PPF and ceramic coating.

Love it! This colour should have been on the standard list of options.

This might be the best colour I've seen on an Artura.

Am I the only one that does not like this color? 😬 Love the other oranges but just not Volcano.

…..I also don’t care for it. Good thing is they make paint for everyone.

Exactly. I'm definitely not bashing anyone's choice in color. I've got Silica White and I know lots of folks think white is boring.

Yep! I just can't do white, although some of the pearls and off whites look ok to me.

I normally also don’t like white, but I do like McLaren’s Silica White. And Porsche’s Chalk. I think that 720S and Artura look great in Silica.

Volcano orange is a weird one to capture in pictures, along with most McLaren colors...
Looked VO for almost 3 years on my 570, and even these pics have me thinking "this color looks different"

But decided to shake things up and go with flux green on the Artura, hopefully it looks half as good as it does in this 765

Jobama1 is absolutely correct. Not only is it tough to photograph, even the McLaren MSO department could not come close to capturing the way the car would look after waiting a month for them to send computer images (all colors on the configurator are misrepresented). What helped with my decision was with a 570 my dealer had in VO that I went to see in person (image attached) and looking online. Amazing P1 (see image). As you can see the best image I have to date of my Artura in natural light has only a couple of panels that actually look like these other cars. Personally, I like the fact that historically VO has been a McLaren color for a long time (I even have F1 images in VO aswell as several older McLarens), making it kind of iconic IMO. Flux is an awesome color and it was probably a close 2nd for me!

@Msos Please keep the photos of your wonderful VO Artura coming. I'd love to see it in the bright sunshine. This colour has always been on my list and yours is the first I've seen.
