Wanted to pop my head in and say hello to everyone! Picked up a 16' Salsa Red/Jet S two days ago. Smile hasn't left my face since. Usually I join these types of forums to check on ongoing issues but since these things are, from what I'm seeing, bulletproof, I guess we can all just talk about how incredible they are

 

Congrats buddy! Now lets see some pictures of that beauty

 

Arrival day glory

 

Yours is 100% identical to mine lol! Can't beat that red and black. Love it and congrats!

 

Only way you could improve it is by dropping the top. Seriously, great looking car. Enjoy!

 

It's the best combo I think too!

 

Beautiful,welcome and congrats!

 

Hi. Yes. Beautiful car.

 

Nice color! And, matches what's used in most of the promotional videos.

 

Congratulations I thought you could not get the Salsa Red on the 2016's ?

 

I believe that's caldera red, not salsa.

 

Yes, they appear very close in a lot of photos, but in sunlight, Salsa leans toward the orange part of the spectrum, whereas Caldera leans more toward the blue part.

 

Yep exactly. Salsa had a bit more of a lively feel in my opinion.

 

Thanks and caldera isn't offered for 16' I believe.

 

Actually, Caldera replaced Salsa for 2016.

 

Caldera seems even closer to Italian Racing Red than Salsa did. All look good, just close, and seems like a bit of overlap.

 

According to my dealer, he got a note from Jaguar factory that Salsa red was officially discontinued and replaced by caldera red since July 2015 for all F-types.

 

Then my dealership has some serious explaining to do...

 

IRR is a metallic color and much darker. Caldera and Salsa are not metallic.
