Looks like the car I saw at my dealer...
If it is it's Grigio scuro...

 

amazing indeed! don't know if its Medio or Scuro but interesting the owner opted for no Scuderia Shields.....is that not standard? it usually is on special edition F cars such as 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, LaF, Challenge Stradale, 430 Scuderia and 599 GTO/Aperta

imho the Speciale looks far more menacing without the stripe.

 

The shields are not standard but a zero-cost option on the Speciale.

 

I just heard that my car went to Status 85 today and a couple of hours later to Status 90. The flight has been arranged and should be arriving in Dubai coming Tuesday.

So if all goes well, I can provide some user feedback (although it might not be useful for many, since it's my first Ferrari) within 10 days... and trust me, I will really use it (as much as allowed during the running-in period)!

I. Am. Excited. I feel like a 15-year old prior to his first date with the hottest girl in his class... ;-)

 

That's fantastic. Can't wait to hear your feedback. And lots of pics!

Don't really know, what the statusnumbers exactly mean, but congrats I know you're going to have lots of fun soon...
Mine shall be completed by Feb,11th and arrive a couple of days later. So I hope winter won't take too long here in Germany.
Not an issue for you though

 

Guys! Today I finalised the spec for my Speciale in the Atelier at my dealership! Instead of uploading pictures I filmed the showreel of my car that plays on the screen while choosing options. I hope you like! I have been told to expect delivery toward the end of May - I am based in the UK... Ferrari 458 Speciale Design Grigio Silverstone - YouTube

 

By the way - does anyone know if the "standard"
wheels are light weight and forged or just the upgrade wheels? When you choose a different coloured wheel the description says they are lightweight and forged but the standard wheels doesn't have this description in the atelier? I was wondering if ther is any difference aside from colour? Weight maybe?

Thanks

 

All the same wheels, only difference is the colour. Forged and light weight.

 

AMAZING Spec!!!! Love the Silverstone with Giallo accents for the interior. Congrats!!! Haven't seen a Silverstone Speciale in person yet but I am sure it will be incredible.

 

Thanks very much - can't wait to share real pictures!

 

Guys - how can I embed a YouTube video into a post please!?

 

I copy the site address and paste it to the body of the post.

Best

 

Hi Guys,

I tried to add a video in my last post but it didn't work so here we go again!

After 3 hours in the Atelier I finalised my Speciale spec yesterday! Instead of pictures i thought i would take a video of the render, hope you like!

Thanks, i just edited another link from a previous video, for some reason the last copy and paste just linked instead of embedding.

 

Ferrari 458 Speciale - 31 January 2014 - Autogespot

beautiful

 

Has anyone heard the integrated audio system? (SND2 on the options list)? I spec'd it on my Speciale as I had to for Sat Nav - just wondered how it sounds?

 

I did. Don't expect a High-End Hifi System, I guess the radio I have in my kitchen sounds better But for Nav you need the audio system and it's ok to listen to the radio when going at low speeds. At higher speeds the sound comes from the back

 

Oh dear - well I guess it's better than no sound! I was half thinking about
fixing a Bluetooth speaker between the seats ha ha. Thanks for the feedback 😊

 

The sons' portable Bose definitely sounds much better...
