Why?
I personally think that colour looks fabulous. The point that I am making, is that up until very recently, customers of new Ferraris always seem to go safe and order resale red (sorry, rosso corsa). Thinking more about how the colour may effect the car's resale value a few years down the line, than how much they actually liked the colour. For me, that Grigio 488GTB looks magnificent. Love the interior choice too!
I've never understood this, red is the worst colour for most if not all ferraris

Agree, much prefer the 458. This looks a blunt instrument in comparison.

I simply do not understand people choosing a car, colour and all the bits and bobs they want in it and then going - "hang on a minute is this going to hurt the re-sale value?"

Exactly!

If I was spec'ing any car never mind a ferrari etc I'd choose whatever I wanted seeing as I'm taking the big hit on purchase

Give me this over a 458! Front end looks so much better than the 458.

I haven't driven the 488, but looks wise at least, I prefer the 458.

Air intake looks pants imho
They will be bigger because of the turbo-charging - more heat to dissipate. Can't see if it's got air-air charge coolers or air-water, though? I presume air-water.

Ferrari berlinettas typically do look great in silver.

Some lovely metal there.

£330K for an 8oK mile Dino! I have a friend with a mint example with around 22K on the clock. Think he paid around £75K for it.

Better looking than 458 IMHO. Only thing I don't really like is front bumper gap, way too large and with all Ferrari customer cars they sit too high. If only they were lowered like the press and PR cars

I've been fortunate enough to spend time on the production line with the 458SA and the 488. I must say I think they both look stunning in the flesh smile
