California T Order Dilemma - Rosso Corsa or Scuderia

Order the color you really want.

 

Agree.

IMO any shade of red on a California T would hurt the resale.

I think the car comes alive with metallic and grey and blues.

 

Metallic reds look great on the Cali T. I think the non-metallic reds like RC and RS makes the car look bloated and hides the lines, not to mention I think RC is overdone and boring.
As for the whole "resale-red" thing? Forget it. If depreciation is that big of a concern, you might want to rethink this. It's not an investment, and it will depreciate - and so what. It's a car for you, not the next owner.
Get what you want, and don't forget that RC might be a popular Ferrari colour, perhaps more on other cars, but you'll have to compete with more sellers come time to sell. A unique car can be worth more to the right buyer.
Rosso Fiorano is a great metallic red. Very deep and lush, will look stunning on a Cali T. That will also be the case with Rubino Micalizzato.
You can also look into getting the new metallic Rosso Corsa debuted on the 488. That way you'll get something somewhat unique and still Rosso Corsa. Be aware that it's a tri layer paint and it carries quite the sticker. Same goes for Rosso Fuoco.

 

A lot of people think Rosso Scuderia is too orange. If you really want a red, choose Rosso Corsa, or a metallic, like Rosso California, Berlinetta or Fiorano. The greys seem to sell well in this car, too. People in the secondary market for these cars want them as usable driver cars, so don't skimp on usual GT options like cruise control, homelink, full electric heated seats, etc.

 

Rosso Corsa is the safest bet and looks great on the car (mine happens to be that color too, haha!).

 

Nuovo Rosso F1? Although it may be a bit to "showy" for the Cali T as others have stated. Rosso Fuoco is my favourite as it goes from a dark cherry red in the dark to a sizzling orangy red in the sun. It would look amazing with the Novitec exterior parts.
