Color Inspiration: Burgundy
Design and color have a large part to play in the history of the automotive world. Here, we’ve married the two things together for the purpose of showcasing some automotive beauty.
Dark red cars may be more understated and less dramatic than flashy, reckless, bright red ones, but that definitely doesn’t make them any less appealing.
What’s your favorite shade of red car? Which is your favorite car below?

I will always lean towards the understated beauty of dark red. Of course there will always be exceptions, but bright red has always been that little bit too much. With the deeper version you get the ‘passion’ without the misunderstanding that you might not know anything about the car you’re driving! (A crude generalisation I know)
On a side not, I have always been particularly fond of a pale bule exterior with burgundy interior. A classic combination.
Different cars look good in different colors obviously, but in general I’d have to say that my favorite shade of red would have to be burgundy or bordeaux (claret?) or something similar.
However, it is absolutely impossible to pick a favorite of the cars above. All I can say is that it’s not the Tatra or the Cadillac.
