I was very happy to take delivery of my 812 GTS yesterday, the sun was shining and the car is incredible. A couple of pictures, the colour is Rosso Maranello.

Thank you, yes the brilliant silver racing wheels come with the titanium wheels bolts as standard. I always prefer the spokes to be symmetric which is why the zig-zag wheels on the F8 don't work for me. Very different car to drive from the mid-engined cars, very long bonnet will take some getting used to and there's about three feet of car in front of where I can see so caution needed!

Also, I deleted the red leather piping surround to the instrument binnacle which would have come as standard when you choose CLDT - Coloured Inner Details - because it reflects badly in the windscreen. Same on the Roma and they've changed the design on the 296 but still clearly visible. I retained the strip on the top of the dash to break it up and it reflects but of course not in your line of sight.

Interesting to compare the Rosso Corsa 458 with mine, I agree a darker colour suits the larger car.

I'm not generally a fan of red Ferraris, but that looks absolutely fantastic biggrin

The perfect blend of elegance and athleticism. Great timing to have an open-top car delivered, hope you get to enjoy the nice weather in it.
Thank you, I’m not complaining about the drought, that’s for sure!!

Beautiful spec. Congratulations. Are they the matt or shiny wheels? Just speccing mine and can only get matt silver on the racing wheels now.
They’re the matt silver forged racing wheels…
