That 512 is lovely!

The Barchetta is certainly a bold choice, that's obne of the times the salesman asks numerous times if the customer is sure when they spec it. Then takes a very large non-refundable deposit

Barchetta in that colour combination is horrendous! I'll take a manual 550 coupe in TDF/crema please... could probably buy a few of them for the price of a Barchetta.

Not even a quick/easy re-trim either, though the cost of that probably isn't huge in the context of a 300k+ price.

[NomduJour]

The simple solution to that problem is painting the outside bits green.

[ferrisbueller]

Lunacy.

A 550 is a great thing. A Barchetta even more special. Such a shame to see one so spectacularly ruined... I’ll take mine in red with tan please.

ABRC - Anything but Rosso Corsa

This is the 550 colour combo for me

Grigio, I get. I couldn't be doing with that much dog knob red in the cabin though.

At least the wheel's black unlike the first example I found.

For Ferraris in general or just 550s?

green wheel is one of the most offensive parts of that Barchetta.

Same with most coloured interiors - in my view they all look much better with a black steering wheel and black upper half of the dash.

Any and all.

Wholeheartedly in favour of red interiors though, obviously.

Not too red though. The era of coloured steering wheels were dark days indeed.

What about Koenig then? It kind of seems suitably ghastly to me, and befits their mad take on the Testarossa. Points lost for lack of colour-coded mats and speaker grilles though




In a similar vein, where do we stand on Smurf with Smurf?

[ferrisbueller]

It's all a question of individual taste. Zero possibility of me living with the Koenig interior.

Smurf^2 is tolerable but wouldn't be my choice.

Wouldn't kick it out of bed but then I had a 996 with pink carpets....

The way I see it, You either have a loud exterior or interior. Not both.

Have bought a Imola Red E46 M3 with black interior. Possibly to replace my current Carbon Black E46 M3 with cinnamon interior (which is absolutely stunning). Have been tempted to swap the IR’s boring black for IR seats too. Thoughts?

Neither would I, but I have a green on green Maserati so what do I know
