    Found this 456 on Exotic spotter.
    Is it just me, or is that colour just all wrong?
    Saw a white 550 Maranello the other day as well. Just not good.

    All wrong IMO. This car was discussed elsewhere - someone suggested that it was replica but apparently it is not

    I think very few Ferraris look good in white but some Lambos look great in white.
    Ferrari V8's all look good in Red but the front engined V12's don't (IMO) - I'm sure there is a perfectly logical reason to do with body size/bonnet length etc.

    IMO its good to be different. Not that i like the colour but i appreciate the car is unique and the owner likes it.

    Judging by the plate, I reckon this car may belong to a family with extreme wealth and is one of many.

    I think the 550 looks stunning in red. There is a really good example in a thread over on CS at the moment. I do however think it looks even better in TDF. The 456 on the other hand is to my mind overwhelmed by red and is much better in a darker colour.

    I think the 599 is fine in Rosso Corsa but is even better in the darker Rosso Monza used at the launch. I think it is a shame to see some many of tehm appearing in Nero and the various Grigios. Although the car still looks wonderful I don't think those colours do it true justice.
