Given the spec sheet I saw for a new Ferrari recently had 'white paint' being a £15,000 optional extra, I imagine it might be even more.

(For the record, I cannot imagine that at any point in my life - regardless of financial situation - I would ever accept a bill for £15k for fking WHITE PAINT. A fool and their money...)

That'll be triple layer pearl white.....as on my 458....

Need some pics!

Any of you that have ordered one I hate you!

I’m not a Ferrari fan and I never get jealous

But I absolutely fallen for that! Genuinely and I will never ever own one

So to all those that have bought one I hate you and I hope you break down a lot


bds

Hope your wheels fall off

Does anyone who is genuinely 'in the know' for a Pista know how much the carbon wheels cost?

I feel like Ferrari could shoot themselves in foot because unless the price of the Carbon wheels is suitably high (Not saying it won't be) it will show how much of a pisstake all of the interior/exterior carbon trinkets are.

if it is easy to add about 40K in carbon bits to a normal Ferrari surely the carbon wheels have to be about 40/50 grand. Any less and the other bits look bad value? (Value all relative of course)

I’m told £18k for carbon wheels.

Most of the other carbon is standard on Pista

Sounds like a PISTA KE is going to be £325k specced up then,

I’m sure you can get it up to that, not sure there’s any need to.

McLaren 675 LT or Huracan Performante all very similar price wise

Incidentally the wheels are by the same company in Australia who make the optional carbon wheels for the Ford GT.

Carbon Rev

How successful would a crowdfunding page be I wonder hmmmm

How much would I get for a kidney I only need one right? What else can I sell? I’m not a virginal woman so I can’t sell my virginity!


Is there anyone on here mega mega wealthy who wants to buy me one as a gift for me to cherish and use then please feel free

I’ve never ever felt this way about a Ferrari before ffs

New Order High Spec Huracan Performante is £240k ! So if we say the Ferrari and McLaren are £300k that's £60k less which is considerable rather than similar in my books

...and some 675 specs were much nearer 400 than 300 once MSO got involved....

The red 720S on McLaren's stand at the 2017 Geneva Show was £315,000 according to the chaps on the stand. In no small part down to a flashy paint job.

720 is slowly growing on me the more I see it physically and of course its amazing to drive but TBH I'm still not bowled over by the Hypercar looks and especially the lights and side profile. Appreciate all the aero etc...but its not a pretty car unless you are comparing it with the senna.
Currently only got the 650S spider as binned the 570S coupe a while back but Lamborghini Huracan Performante has literally just landed.

No intentions of getting a 750LT at this stage but my names down for a sport series LT. Love my McLarens so watch this space

Glad it's not just me that the 720S is growing on. The more I see it, the better it looks. I think an LT version could potentially be stunning. And I really was not a far at the start. Go figure!

I agree, 720 is growing on me too.

Saw a pearl red one with black roof that looked fantastic.

I'm with you on sport series LT, you gone coupe or spider?

Any pics of the huracan on here? Think they’re one of the best looking cars currently available

Not wishing to be greedy but probably both. Learn't something interesting about the car(s) recently which is not public knowledge so unfortunately I'm sworn to secrecy. Not sure if its good or bad news depends on how you look at it and it might be surprising and unexpected from McLaren.
Can't say anymore than the coupe will be potentially more desirable
