    Hi friends of the forum ;)

    Do you know if the 4 point restraints is legal in Switzerland? I know it's legal in Germany.

    Thanks ;)

    Tks to whom wrote to me.. I appreciated:)

    About your sentence, the precise delivery will be confirmed later. Actually what I know is that it is confirmed just inside the first 6 months of next year. This in reality could mean around March from what I expect.

    I understand the 458 Speciale will be a limited production model.

    I hope this is true but Ferrari never mention about 458S being a limited run. Can you tell us more about this?

    I understand the 458 Speciale will be a limited production model of 1,700.
    What was the number produced for the Challenge Stradale and the 430 Scuderia?

    Where are you getting this understanding? Several here have said ferrari representatives told them it was not limited. I hope they make loads of them! 1700 would certainly be an odd number to "limit" to by any definition...

    There were 1288 stradales. No one knows for sure how many scuds (consensus is more than CS, perhaps 2000 range).

    Talking to my guy at FoW, I got the impression allocation would be kinda tight.

    That's a given. For example, try to get an F12 or 458 spider when they were released. Neither of those are "limited" production to a set number like some of the super cars or 16m, barchetta or aperta etc. I would think ferrari would be marketing the heck out of "limited production" if that were their aim...

    Do we think this one will be flippable though? For the lucky few who get to buy new, even toward the end of production of the Speciale, will it be possible to keep for a year and flip it, or will it depreciate year one, that's the question. At least for me. I'm trying to get in for one, kinda long shot. But I'd like a way out of it a year later if for some reason business ain't great then.

    What is the reason behind the blue/white stripe in terms of making the car look good?

    Do you guys think they will offer an alternative color option for the stripes? The look ugly specially at the front when viewing it from an angle, like a zig-zag.

    Yes sir, it would be very clearly stated in the initial press release if they are only making 399 (Enzo), 499 (LaFerrari), 599 (599 GTO), 499 (16M), 80 (Aperta).

    No mention of quantity of the Speciale.

    If you pay enough money for another color,no doubt that they will do it for you..

    PS: I'm the only one who likes the NART stripe? It had been growing on me.

    I like the stripe also and I'm thinking of specing it on mine as long I can get the rumored blue calipers
