Red cars FAQs

Is red a good colour for a car?

Yes, it is. After all, they wouldn’t paint Ferraris in red if it didn’t look good… Red has fallen out of favour in the past few years, as more and more car buyers play it supposedly safe and pick from one of the endless shades of grey and silver offered by car makers, but red is still broadly available and is often the colour that brings out the shape and lines of a car the best.

Are red cars bad luck?

No, there’s no scientific basis for suggesting that red cars are unlucky. It probably comes from (in)famous deaths involving famous racing drivers such as Albero Ascari and Alfonso De Portago in red Ferraris in the 1950s, coupled with a suggestion that someone who buys a red car is going to drive in a more — ahem — sporty fashion. But no, red cars aren’t bad luck.

Are red cars cheaper?

No, red cars are not inherently cheaper. One of the few cars that comes with red paint as a no-cost option is the Ford Focus, which comes as standard with ‘Race Red’ but it’s a non-metallic finish. Most other car makers only offer white as a basic, standard colour and red usually ends up as an option, often an expensive one. Some people think that red cars will be cheaper second hand, as they assume that a red car will depreciate faster, but there’s no evidence to back that up.
