    I actually like Cuoio the most, and with black or red stitching. Don't know why... black does look wicked too!

    You can also get them painted which is pretty cool!

    I like the last configuration the most actually... closest to I would get. I know it's a common choice, but it looks so good.

    It looks good as long as you add some black, IMHO. I don't like them with solid tan dashes and steering wheels.

    One thing to notice is the difference in the rear shelf when you choose dual leather colour instead of single leather colour. When you order dual leather colour, the middle section of the rear shelf is the same color as the door panels & seats. The color wraps around and looks much better than if you select the single leather colour.

    Single Leather Colour:

    You have to click on SAVE after you get done configuring the car. then it will give you a few options and one it to upload it to Virtual Race. I had trouble downloading the Virtual Race software so I haven't tried it yet.

    I wonder why there is not a selection for upper and lower dash being different colors?

    There also aren't any seat choices or carbon fiber choices. The configurator is just to give you an idea of how certain color combination will look. You can still completely customize the interior any way you want to, just like with most other Ferraris.

    Thanks! I just tried it, but for some reason a message popped up and said "This model is currently unavailable for this game. You will have to use either the 430 Scuderia, 599 GTB Fiorano, or 612 Scaglietti for now." :(

    +1, steering wheels have to be black or genuine wood.

    Think I just threw up ... inside is not for me ;)

    On another tangent, I would expect most on this would choose the standard wheels with atleast some tyre profile as that would be the fastest option. The bigger wheels are for the boom-boom parade types and would have less grip.

    Is this the first time that Ferrari is allowing customers to have this much customization in a car?

    That configurator has more options to mess with than a BMW M3.

    I guess you should be allowed to have this many options since you're plunking a substantial amount of change for it.
