    Sure, it was an option. Came in a matching leather case attached to the passenger side floor.

    Yes, I have seen one installed in a 612 OTO. Passenger footwell, looked same as the 599 install.

    There is a video of a 612 doing a track session in Italy on YouTube, it shows it in that footage. The car had red interior.

    Hi!

    My 612 has it. It is obligatory in the Middle East.

    Fire extinguisher in a leather sleeve, on the passenger side.

    I don´t have access to my car - it is being shipped.

    As soon I get hold of it, I´ll post a picture of the extinguisher- if no one does it before.

    I strongly recommend you to buy a fire extinguisher with Halon, or CO2 and not the original powder one. Check on Internet what damages can make the powder, if ever used it will ruin your car. I actually bought a Halon extinguisher, not harming electronics, alloys.

    Powder does unspeakable things to an automobile's components.

    Thank You All for the pix and help

    My last question is- when you say it's the same as the 599 extinguisher- Do you mean the extinguisher and cover itself, or the mounting block as well?

    Can someone with an extinguisher in an OTO car please take a close up of their extinguisher??

    I'd very much appreciate it

    If you are interested in purchasing one of these I believe that they are no longer available... We tried to purchase one for a Maserati GranSport through Eurospares, and although the bracket, bag, screw and leather sleeve were all there to be ordered, the actual extinguisher bottle was discontinued.

    It is a very tasty option and a real pity that it isn't available anymore, but I suppose you could always try Ricambi or the main dealership as Ferrari still offers it in current models.

    I found one and the seller claims it's the same as the 430 bottle

    I wasn't sure if the bottles were red or just unpainted & polished- For this and other reasons, I wanted to see one up close

    Moe- Did you look them up in Ricambi's online parts catalog to see if they were the same?

    The 599 extinguisher is still available and fits a wide variety of Ferraris and Maseratis. About 200 pounds sterling from Eurospares.

    I just saw the close up photo above posted by D-F

    I guess in revisiting a past thread, I somehow skipped past it

    I've brought a extinguisher for less than 20.00 same size and will make a leather cover to fit ,the brackets are around £40.00 from specialist performance car sites .

    I'm pricing the parts now from a dealer with the matching leather.

    (I'm wondering also if I can convert the bottle to Halon)

    TT- Can you post a close-up shot?
