That was a comment I made as well. Hyper Blue, IMO, does the best to show off the lines of the car.

The color of a training car couldn't be more irrelevant. The techs don't care or need to worry about how the car looks. It's much cheaper for MB to build a plain jane training car since it will likely be destroyed at some point.

It was just luck of the draw for the rep. I have seen the majority of the few cars (~40 or so) and they cover just about every color and option available, even some that will not be available from the get go. (certain tops, interior colors, sport seats, etc)

Just something of note, those cars will eventually be available for sale as CPO cars after refreshes and software updates. They were early production, not preproduction cars.

We just pulled it inside to do training in the AC, it feels like 108 degrees here today.

This car has 10k miles on it, it is getting a true test with a few other Mercedes-Benz AMG reps.

Oooh, 108 isn't a joke haha! Don't blame you one bit! It's approaching August here in NC.....usually in the 90's with 1000% humidity

Because it's a "training" car and not a "press" car? I don't think the service or sales team care about the color.

That's nice, but it doesn't have anything to do with anyone wanting a training car to be a flashy color combo. It's totally matterless.

Gorgeous but like the training car can’t believe he spec’d it in all black. Usually he’s a bit more interesting at least.
