I’ve now finalised my 296 GTS spec and hope for production in the summer. It’s not the usual but is intended to echo a picture I have of a silver 1974 246 GTS with red interior.

The colour is Sanu-silver, a non standard silver with extra metallic dosing and inside, Daytona sports seats in Rosso Ferrari and Nero.

That looks fantastic! I've had a couple of Ferraris in Argento Nurburgring but this shade of silver is something else.

Thank you. These are just renders from the configurator but this is a picture of a real F8 in the same colour.

That’s very nice and very similar to what I am going for, hoping to get mine early next year, Ferrari have had my deposit for a long time.

You must have one of the first! Which red is that?

Are you finding the silver exhaust is discolouring in the heat?

I had a play with a 296 demonstrator recently.

Now considering selling one of the children in order to afford one. What a car. And your spec, OP, looks brilliant.

Hi Yes the exhaust is discoloring and I also have a GTB currently that is doing the same, best to op for the black really

The paint is Rosso Imola, It actually is the 1st customer registered car apparently as the guy from Ferrari contacted me to confirm it was a GTS and not a GTB as they hadn't registered a customers car before.

Yes they really are fantastic, you need a long test drive I had one for 4 days, you then realise how far ahead of everyone else Ferrari really are

Very nice to have got 4 days test drive. Who was that through? Did you try out a Mclaren Artura?

Really interested in some expansion of that comment, I've always thought of McLaren as ahead of Ferraris if not in desirability. Must say the OPs spec is just lovely.
