599 Interior Advice

That looks great, I think you would be very happy with that set-up.

My dream Ferrari however would be black exterior with Burgandy (dark red) seats with black stitching/piping/inserts. Black Carpet and steering wheel, and the dash would we black on the top and Burgandy on the bottom and the red tach....

I went with the standard tan interior with tan piping.

You can also do the inserts and stitching the same. It is subtle. People always said they thought my interior looked really great but could not figure out why.

Some might say that when in doubt on such a long lasting choice, erring in the side of understated always tends to have the longest appeal - that may of course contradict the prancing horse's essence, but perhaps the 599 can handle that aspect all on it's own, so to speak...

Bottom line 'trust your gut'.

 

Im not sure on having the Black piping and inserts, but i think thats personal taste. Black exterior with Cream / Tan interior, Black sitching, Black dash board, Black wheel, Carbon Fiber extras and Black carpets is quite a nice combination. Suttle colours (compared to Rosso), but looks excellent.

The demo car this year at Goodwood Festival of Speed was like that. Below is the only picture i have of the interior (but with me in the car). If you search for photos from that event you might find some more.

I've got a few other pictures of 599s in Black with Cream, / Tan interiors, but you can only see that from the outside. The only other Black exterior combination i have seen is with a Red interior. All the other 599s I have seen myself and on the internet are in different exterior colours (Corsa, Grigio, TDF...), with a mixture of interior colours.

Hope this helps

 

My 599 is rosso scuderia with tan interior. I think the combination you have in mind will look great if you don't mind it being a bit busy. For my personal taste, I am glad to have plain tan interior as there is more than enough black in the carbon, dash, sports seats etc.

 

I don't think piping is a good fit on the racing seats.

You should special order the diamond quilt pattern for the seat inserts, rear bench, and headliner, and do reverse stitching (black on beige, beige on black). That would look awesome.

 

With such a light colored dash, how was the glare in the windshield?

 

Dan, when we order mine, it will have the diamond stitch. Black with yellow stitching. Full Carbon. Can we do the diamond on the sports seats?

It's special order, but absolutely.

The racing seats are the only seat available in the 599, which can be ordered with Daytona trim on them.

 

As the owner of the car in your pic, I obviously am rather fond of that particular combination. I don't think it would work as well on the 599 simply because I don't think it'll work well with the racing seats (I think the piping will look odd on the racing seats, but I think the stitching/inserts will look great). If I could do the car again, I would probably order sabbia instead of the tan -- it really complements the black (nero daytona in my case) much better.

 

At night time there is no glare.
During the day just wear polarized sunglass and the glare disappears

 

i have sabbia interior with black piping, etc and love it. i was a bit worried that it would show marks and scrathes but hasn't. only a few minor scuffs that aren't color related.
