The Focus in the pic is 1 of 1 in Liquid Blue and the car pictured is THE actual car produced for the North American auto show circuit. They made a Raptor, GT, GT350 and Focus in liquid blue for the curcuit. The white trim on the Recaros confirms it as well. It was supposed to be crushed but ended up getting sold somehow. There's a story online from the guy that purchased it. So yes, that would be a very rare car indeed.

Looks like Liquid Blue has a color shift of purple, blue and green whereas Performance Blue looks very similar without the color shift.

Liquid Blue > Performance Blue > Velocity Blue

But, in vehicles that I can afford:
Performance Blue > Velocity Blue

I'm digging the PB the more I see it, real happy with my decision.

Those BLs definitely look like they shed a few lbs over the '17/'18 rims. Hopefully we'll get some stats soon. I didn't care for them much when the first photos were released, but they're growing on me...

Thanks for sharing, Keller Steeler.

Decided to head down to the state fair to take a look at the 19. Spent $15 in parking and 2 $18 tickets to get in, take pictures, and leave. The Raptor on display is Velocity Blue, with a black interior. Not sure if they were Recaros in Black. Forgot to ask and doubt anyone knew. The first person we asked said it was Lightning Blue. They had an Edge in Performance Blue. Much more subdued. Not quite like the Liquid Blue in the GT which is much deeper. It was dark when I got there and the Edge was not a lit up as the GT. I think PB is going to be polarizing and not for everyone. I am happy I ordered mine with it. If you are looking for something that really stands out, get the Velocity Blue. Looks like a toy color to me. I liked it, but it’s not for me. The PB is different than every other blue with grey in it and looks like different shades like the GT in different lighting and angles

Those look like black recaros. Sides seem more bolstered then last seats. And it’s like the avalanche grey of blues the PB. Diff shades depending on angle and light. I’m gonna love it. Will really pop if opti coated

Those seats do look different. But the part of the seat you sit on doesn’t look like the previews of the blue recaros. I think that is the standard seat but I could be wrong. Also that appears to be the 801A package as the door handles and mirrors are not painted body color, and I know you can only get recaros with the 802a

While I am still sold on PB, it is different than what I thought. We will see how it looks on a Raptor in the sun. I am sick of black cars, don’t like white, and the red and Velocity Blue are too much for me.

I like it for the most part, but this shot makes it look like a color from a 2000 Focus. I think it will be the next Leadfoot Grey - people will love it or hate it. It looks too baby blue to me. Almost like that awful Lexus baby blue.

But this looks much better.

I disagree, they look almost exactly like the 2018 seats. If you check out Ford's site and view the interior, they're almost identical.
