No it's at Leeds. Rosso Maranello with cuoio.
Great colour in person.

Great looking car! And with the later infotainment system etc.. was there much negotiation to be had? It does seem like they're not moving that quickly at the moment, albeit the later cars like this do seem a bit more active.

Discount wise got a small amount off and some bits and pieces sorted out.
There were better value ones out there but not maranello and I wanted a special paint red one this time after I had silverstone last time but I also like Nero with crema.
I also wanted to have cuoio to see if I really wanted it when I get my 812 so a few reasons I went for that car.
Pretty nice spec as well but would have liked passenger display ideally but it's not essential obviously. Only downside is it's over 15k miles.

Looks like a lovely car! I had initially discounted it when browsing due to the mileage and initially it was a bit rich for me but in hindsight I think the spec very much makes up for it! And my budget has increased a bit too. My search is now seriously on..

Have fun with it!

I love Rosso Maranello - was my first choice, but my family wanted sth less ostentatious (not car people ....)

............To Bertie,
Just wondering how you're getting on with the interior of the lusso?
Obviously a big step up with the quality of the interfaces etc but just wondered what you thought about the build quality, any significant upgrade?
.......

Hi, yes absolutely loving the Lusso.

The FF is a fantastic car but the Lusso moves it on another step.

The RWS really makes the car shrink about you and the whole thing inspires confidence plus of course the technology moves on.

Progress...but you have to pay for it obviously.

Ferrari are professional cash extractors for this purpose but once you're on that hamster wheel ...

I believe it is a triple-layer brown and called brown metallic in Italian - would need to check exact name

Very happy with the colour / spec of the car

That's a fabulous colour and interior combo, love it.

Never seen that before, top marks!

[mirage5512]

I agree that's a great colour.

Cheers guys - first owner did a good job speccing it - very nicely color matched everything (apart from I would have gone no shields and probably silver calipers)

So I picked the FF up today and had a nice drive back and have to say it's a nice car to drive, not overly hard riding on the rubbish surfaces that we have on the roads round here. Lots of grip and hardly moved at all when trying to unsettle the car slightly. Loving the v12 roar again after no ferrari for 5 years and I'm happy with the performance so far.

Interior is a nice place to be even though it gets pretty warm when pressing on. Sat nav etc seems ok but dated, apple car play pretty good but I've only spent a few hours in the car so far.

Really like the rosso maranello, great colour in the flesh especially when changing from light to shade etc, lots of depth.

I'm sure the next few weeks will be fun getting to know the car.

Cheers
