Which red to choose?

The beauty of specing a new Ferrari, is that you don't HAVE to do anything. Get the color which you want, do not worry about the other people. If you love Rosso Corsa get it, there are many blues available. I selected Nero Daytona, it is also my first car, I have always had black cars and that what I wanted.

 

Take a look thro the picture thread slightly lower down and see what floats your boat most

 

+1

 

In addition to the Cali pix thread, there is a recent thread by caligirl that has some pics of Rosso California, a color which I do not recall seeing on the pix thread…T

 

Rossa California.



Unless you prefer a different red..

 

Get what you like. Imvso, there are reds that lends themselves much better to the shapes and contours of the Cali than Rosso Corsa. I tend to find RC a bit well, boring. Rosso California is nice, Caligirl posted some nice pics of her car. Rosso Fiorano and Rubino Micalizzato are two of the most gorgeous reds Ferrari produce. If you want to spend the extra coin, Rosso Maranello would be great as well. Not sure about Rosso Fuoco on a Cali.

 

Absolutely recommend California Rosso. I first though at the regular Ferrari red but I placed my order at California Rosso and to be sure, I have no regret to pay the premium when I saw the actual dealer car at California Rosso last mont. It is gorgeous. I also have the top at Nero

 

How would you describe Cali Rosso vs Rosso Corsa??

 

Most people who see our Cali T in Rosso California call it candy apple red. It is highly metallic and shows itself as a deep multi-layer color in bright light. Rosso Corsa is not metallic and is a bright, Ferrari classic red. Here's a not-so-great picture of these two colors side-by-side as they are the colors of our "garage sisters"

I like the Rossa California

 

I went through the same process a few months back. This being my first Ferrari I was leaning heavily towards Rosso Corsa (I won't be a Ferrari customer that trades up every two years). I had a 458 Spyder on order that I eventually backed out of because I didn't fit with the roof down. I'm 33 years old. So I wanted a color that said "sporty" in my mind. I saw Rosso California in person at the Ferrari North Anerica launch in NYC in July. To me, it was a beautiful color but seemed more "elegant" for me than Rosso Corsa. Rosso Corsa, again to me, seemed sportier and classic Ferrari. To each their own, that's the beauty of it! I see a lot of cars getting Rosso Corsa, but that's why they call it resale red. Because I wanted "sporty" over "elegant" I went with Rosso Corsa. I also went with a lot of carbon fiber and no chrome grill for that same reason.

That's just a look into my psyche and journey, but hopefully that helps.

You can see my build just a few threads down from this one. It also has all three pictures from the factory during the build phase so you can get a decent idea of what Rosso Corsa looks like on the car.

Either way your car will be beautiful! Congrats!

 

The black near the head rest comes standard with the black backed seats but is a special order if you do not have black backed seats.

 

To me the standard black pieces look great and break up the monochromatic look very well with the T (vs the Cali/Cali 30).

 

two kids dont fit in the back of the DBS? I thought it had back seats?

I just came from seeing a Corsa Red California T. It is spectacular. But you won't go wrong with either one.

 

Good taste mate!

 

I saw today CaliGirl's Rossa California T and it did indeed look very Elegant !

 

Thanks! . I can't wait to see it in person in hopefully 5-6 weeks!!!
