I did find this link. I'd guess there's probably 50+ Fayence Yelow CGTs in the US.

Cool info

11 Mon Metallic color to sample, I bet most are white. I am sure it Looks SICK in white. In fact I would love to see it in white. Have you even seen pics of it in white? If you have any pics (if in fact they made it in white) please post the link or the pics directly. Thanks.

One more thing. Please post pics of you CGT. You have the BEST COLOR. I can not imagine what it is like to own such an amazing car. Do you have any mods on the CGT? Not that you really need them just curious. I would one time just love to hear the exhaust note on the car and go for a ride in it full throttle. I am sure it sounds unreal and accelerates like a jet and handles like a race car. What is is like to own such a nice car? Driving wise and everything else.

It is stunning in white and was my first color choice. Problem is, I understand that there are only about 6 in white. One's in the SF Bay area, one's in Houston and is not for sale and I think still has some of the delivery wrapping on it. There's another one that splits time between the Middle East and London. It has a bright red interior. One in Germany and one in S. America.

I can not imagine what it is like to own such an amazing car. Do you have any mods on the CGT? No, but I've thought about a Tubi exhaust.

As you might expect, it's an amazing car and I'm very fortunate to have one. It's a completely raw race car for the street. The performance is truly breathtaking even though you can't really explore the performance on the street. It's surprisingly easy to drive but at the same time can be intimidating. You have to REALLY respect what it is capable of.

It's comfortable, relatively easy to get in and out of, good a/c. I put about 700 miles on it in just over 24 hours once and had no complaints. You have to get used to the dimensions - it's a pretty big car. The sounds coming from behind your head are other-worldly. I love driving it through a tunnel here in Dallas.

Here are a few pics.

Great info... thanks!

BTW, I wonder how many cars are gone (i.e., totaled)? I think the dealer knows that also.

I've never heard, but I figure it's at least 10% of the total production.

Thanks for the pics the yellow is so AMAZING on that car. I can tell you love the car which I would also if I owned a car like that. The yellow is so much nicer than most of the other colors IMO. The CGT is a supercar and gray, black and silver are wayyyyyy to plain IMO. The white one also looks amazing. Too bad your not in the Tri-State area as I would love to see your beauty in person. Thanks for the response.
