From blazing sunsets to smoldering embers, few colors evoke passion and intensity like red. No wonder it graces only the hottest supercars and the sleekest custom hot rods. If you think of a Ferrari, you see red.
For those who wish to emulate power and confidence on wheels, 8.2 percent of vehicles on US roads wear some shade of red paint (sandwiched between blue and green in terms of popularity). While not as popular as years’ past, this only allows red cars to make a bigger statement and stand out from the crowd.
Such a bold, dynamic exterior color demands equal potency in naming. So for red car and truck owners, choose wisely when naming your beloved ride. Here are almost 200 names to get you started.
