    I agree... That 458 is a huge disapointment...

    You are correct.. The 458 design kinda resembles that Hyundai.

    Time to give up the pipe!?

    The 458 is awesome. I've only seen it in the zebra/cow livery. But even then it's awesome.

    Lars, thank you for those great pics.

    thank you for the interesting pics Lars!
    do you know the s/ns of the 275 GTB (whats the story with only one front bumper?) and the F 40?
    is the F 40 91502?

    Lars it is great to see all the different Ferrari models out in the neighborhood there! Thank you. The red 599 HGTE in post #42 looks like it has the new Rosso Fuoco color. Not a common color which costs an extra $25,000 when you choose it, yet the 16M pictured above the 599 also appears to be in the same Rosso Fuoco color. The color changes to a slightly different shade when looked at from a new angle.
    Any pictures looking in the other direction at what is across the road from the factory to give it some context?

    Hi Michael,

    Unfortunately no s/n on the 275, which is no doubt being restored by Ferrari Classiche. The s/n of the F40 can be found in my Telaio Maranello thread, as posted by Olivier :)

    Ciao,

    Lars T.

    Very well spotted! Indeed both cars are the new Rosso Fuoco.

    Later in the thread, there will be pics taken towards the other side of the factory gates, so that will answer your second question, right? :)

    Ciao,

    Lars T.

    Time for a new update, including a very special colour for a 16M: Ever seen it in dark green?
    You´ll note that it is a RHD, so it might possibly turn up in the U.K. (also considering its colour).

    My update tomorrow may be a little bit later, as I´ll be at the Oktoberfest (I live in Munich after all) having some fun wearing my Lederhosen :D

    Ciao,

    Wasn't there a metallic Rosso Monza when the 599 was introduced? In fact many of the promotional pics were of a 599 in that colour, if I recall correctly. I ask because I think now I couldn't tell the difference between Monza and Fuoco. I guess Fuoco is some kind of pearl finish and probably a bit lighter than Monza???

    BTW, thanks for the great pics, Lars. Though once more you managed to show us your beloved lederhosen pic... ;)

    Yes, the 599 GTB is also regularly seen in Rosso Fiorano/Rosso Monza. The new Rosso Fuoco is darker though (better visible in real life than on my pics). The colour is quite deep & intense, almost seems to be glowing.

    And I showed that Lederhosen-pic already once? Uh-oh, I must be getting old...

    Ciao,

    Yes the Rosso Fuoco is darker than the 599 intro color of Rosso Monza. The new Rosso Fuoco has the added feature of changing color as you view the paint from a different angle. Ferrari first introduced the new RF color on the 599 with the HGTE package option. The interior done in Cuoio leather with black alcantara inserts for the seats made for a super combination.
