Another chance to see what I call 'blackberry' (custom paint done by the owner after delivery):

(It looks black unless the light hits it just right)

I am just about able to make the connection of the two mentally.
And I like it.

Now I just need to add the exposed carbon fiber hardtop.

It is unique in the sense that it is the only SIG 100 to get exterior carbon fiber upgrades.

The sign on the car says "Customer Car Do Not Touch" but that might just be the standard sign that goes on all of them.

by SIG do you mean VIN #? because I know the green car is # 100.

I searched google for a while and found nothing. Only one photo from the Daimler shoot.

Any idea where I could find the color code?

If anyone could refer me to someone who might know more about the green sig 100 car please message me it would be greatly appreciated :)

thanks again

I would contact Tesla Motors at the Menlo Park store. Ask for Dan. He can likely tell you everything you need to know. Or contact the LA store if that SIG 100 Roadster is currently there.

I have several calls into the Menlo Park office. Next time I call I will ask for Dan.

Note that I did personally take these photos of the sig100 car at the LA dealer. No one there knew the color. not even the tech

I always assumed the lime green car in the LA showroom was painted a Lotus color.

It does look rather Lambo though.

Krypton Green

It is not available as a standard color for Lotus or European Tesla customers.
I was told by Rachel Konrad that it is a custom color designed/picked by Franz.

James is correct. Sig 100 is painted a custom green. Not lotus Lime green.
