Great color
It looks like a candy color but I have no other info on this car. I believe I'd be proud to be sporting this color though!

Crystal red.....maybe
That may be crystal red since it seems to change colors under different light conditions but I wouldn't bet on it.
This is crystal red in the late afternoon out of the direct sun.

I'm still not entirely convinced that it's something other than a custom candy color.

Both Dodge and Ford have a red that looks close and IMO nicer than my CRM. The Dodge appears to have a different metallic and the Ford's metallic is finer, aka not much.
I did a bit of Candy color painting in my youth (50+ years ago) and you can really build depth with the tint to the point it looks wet like that photo. It's an art I never mastered.

It is Crystal Red Tintcoat with some Photoshop (or similar) filters thrown on it.
Tried posting a link but won't work. Just right click the image and click the Google option and you can see a facebook post on the car.
