Ferrari new boy wanting to scratch an itch!

Stick with rosso corsa. Personally, I wouldn't get a rosso scuderia 360 and that's from someone who thinks it does suit some cars and I certainly wouldn't get one without having seen the colour in the flesh.

Hi mate, lovely pic.

I actually like the rosso scuderia, but I understand your point and have not yet seen it in the flesh.

I am going to have to see if they can bring it up to me to view before I go forwards.

Cheers!

Knew I had a picture somewhere. The 456 is rosso corsa, the Stradale is rosso scuderia.

That is super helpful thanks!

I fully take on board Jim's point above, but actually think I may prefer the rosso scuderia.

I think it looks brighter and younger (don't know why on the latter!).

They have agreed to send it up so I can see it in the flesh anyway.

Cheers

Great that you get to see it in person. I remember considering and viewing a 430 in Scuderia and it looked fine, a bright red. Then parked it next to a Rosso corsa car and it just looked orange and I couldn’t unsee it. I found that a lovely detailed Rosso corsa has more depth imo. In addition I think the interior contrast matters also, it will be interesting to see the Crema against Scuderia. To everyone who sees it it will simply be a red Ferrari and I wouldn’t let it put me off If the rest of the car is mint.

I always think of Rosso Scuderia as orange rather than red. It is essential to see it in the flesh.

[JulianPH]

I would agree, but I still like it!

In isolation Rosso Scuderia is red.
Mine was Rosso Corsa over tan but if a Rosso Scuderia that ticked the right boxes had come up then I have no doubt that I would have bought it.
Externally, again in isolation, the 360 still looks great. It only starts to appear a little aged when stood next to something more modern, primarily the glass line looks a bit large but it has aged really well.

If these pics are a true representation of Rosso Scuderia then i'd be very happy with it.I also think that the 360 has aged very well indeed..Nothing like a Ferrari for timeless design IMO.

Presumably once this nightmare is over and the government guidance is lifted?

Just to let you all know I have now bought the Rosso Scuderia 360 Spider F1!

This was on the basis that it was specced pretty much exactly as I wanted, I like the colour and couldn't see the point in paying £10k more for the Rosso Corsa.

If for some reason I end up disliking the colour the saving would allow for a respray any way (or for even less a wrap).

Thanks from the comments everyone (those I already know and those I hope to get to know in the future), they have been really helpful.

It should be at mine for the weekend so I will post some pics!

Cheers

Julian

nice, shame you won't be able to enjoy it for a while

[garystoybox]

Well done... very excited for you. Nothing beats the anticipation and delivery of your first Ferrari. Hopefully not be too long before you’re out enjoying the sunshine with a big grin on your face.

Q1 - Racing Red?

Only a guess, rosso obviously being red and corsa/scuderia being racing/stable (and horse related).

My Italian is non-existant though and only my Portuguese gave me a hint to the Latin roots!

Happy days anyway!
