Well, it has arrived in the country and the dealer kindly sent me a video so I took a couple of snapshot from there ...

Did you ever pick up your car? Any pictures? It seems like the Protonic Red cars being delivered in the US don't have any of the red trim on the seats. I've been unable to find out why...

Still wondering why all US Protonic Red i8's didn't have ANY of the promised red accents on the seats, or the red stitching on the floor mats. This so-called "Special Edition" costs $10k+ for red paint and a few carbon fiber pieces for the dashboard. What happened??
