Here is a combo that not a lot of people do, ingrid exterior, in one shot it has a navy interior. Seems a little conservative but nice.Upload

I say Titanium on Bordeaux as well. Although almost every Ferrari looks best in red (with some exceptions), the newer cars are becomming ever popular with silver/titanium outer colors and they look stunning in my opinion.

Lots of different opinions on that... and you kind find many more in past threads.

For the exterior, I think lighter colors are better on a 360... the dark ones de-emphasize the various air inlets and contours that I think give the 360 a lot of its look.

For the interior, I think the ever-popular tan doesn't work as well as it usually does due to all the aluminum finishes... gray and tan (mixing neutrals) don't really match.

Thus, I prefer either black interior (if not too hot) or one of the grays or a combo of them. The blue interior is also nice with the aluminum.

Given that, I think the best exteriors are Titanium, Silver, Alloy, Azzuro California, Yellow, and of course Red.

On a 550/575, my answers would be very different. Black and Dark blue look fantastic on the 550... a tan interior works very nice... the Ferrari tan leather is very rich and soothing sort of color.

JMHO.

P.S. I think red calipers and shields look great on a titanium 360... but I am a bit biased.

Black on black.
California blue on Navy blue.
Red on black with red piping.

Yes, in that order.

Frank,

I have driven a 550/575 coupe and it's just not my cup of tea. They handle unbelievably well for such a heavy car but they are HEAVY. That dulls the feeling of handling and acceleration for me. Now, a 360 with an optional V-12 (get rid of the useless space behind the seats) is more like it!

As far as colors go, yellow/black, black/black or red and TDF blue/naturale are my favorites. On a spider, Azzuro California and Grigio Alloy (with blue tops) are stunning.

Yes - that "live in detailer" remark made me laugh. My Black/Black car looks fab when just done, but dirty 2 days later of driving on even dusty roads. I had it cleaned on the Wednesday before going to the Enzo introduction at FNE in Boston, but after a couple of days of normal use (and a rain shower...) I was chastised for turning up in a dirty car. Only in jest really, since I've seen a lot of enthusiasm from the guys at FNE for the fact that my car is driven daily (when its not icy/snowing).

These cars love to be driven and the best colour is the one you want (apart from a White 360 that is).

PS Was considering the number plate of DARTHV or similar, but thought some might not find it amusing :-)

Best combination for 360 coupe= trade on 550 or 575 coupe. Don't end up with the regret, "I could of had a V12"

Aruzo (sp?) blue...no question...in person it looks spectacular..the silverish blue hue is simply a wonder to behold.

Interior? black or dark blue.

It really doesn't matter. It could be purple with orange polka-dots and it would still be an awesome car!!!

Buy what you like.

Titanium with black interior - F1 transmission, front and rear challenge grills, leather challenge racing seats, intergrated battery charger, space-saver spare tire, and upgraded factory stereo option (if you are in to that kind of thing).

I personally would skip the navigation option (buy a map), the extended leather option (more leather = more headaches IMO), the S.F. shields (I personally don't like these on the 360 - except CS version), daytona seats (I like to racing seats and fit better in them as well), painted calipers (don't think red calipers go well with titanium exterior), and I would also not get the removeable "sunroof".

Well, that is my opinion! :-)

There are very few yellow/black. If you're going to keep the car, get something you can live with. Resale may or may not be good, depending upon the color.
