If ordering a brand new 348/355 today - Would it be Red?

  1. Yes - definitely Rosso Corsa.

  2. No - I'd go with a different color I'm in love with.

    If you were ordering a brand new 348 or 355 today, would it be Red? I might be swayed after seeing our new 355 GTS Rosso Corsa and how well it was polished...

    If not, discuss!

    Agreed.

    While I love some of the other colours (458s in particular look great in most colours) I reckon if I was hovering over the order form I'd do a Clarkson and wimp out and order red.

    That is a great question. I would really struggle with that decision for sure. I know what I wouldn't want so that would narrow it down.

    I recently saw a 458 spider in what I think was barchetta although to me it was a bit more maroon but I could be wrong. With a Cuoio interior. It was stunning.

    Maybe not Rosso Corsa...

    I guess you're talking 348, as there's no such thing as a 355GTB.

    Come to think of it, there's no such thing as a 348 6 speed either, so what do you mean?

    Growing up the Ferrari that I chased in my dreams was Red. There is no way possible I could have chosen a different color than the car I dreamed of owning.

    If it was meant to be my first Ferrari, I'd definately go for rosso corsa. If not, I'd choose black (over cream, which I actually did) or yellow (over black).

    Kind regards,

    Nuno.

    Black! But of course, I'd hire somebody to keep it clean. My 348 was a full time job to keep shiny.

    Come on Dave. You of all people...

    So, can I order a 458GTB?

    Or, an F12 GTB?

    You don't misunderstand the thread. I knew what you meant.

    And your choice is probably the most popular.

    I was just being pedantic. A manual gearbox Ferrari 355 hardtop is an "F355 Berlinetta"
    That covers everything except the colour.

    I will answer that I don't know. I'm sure I would lose a lot of sleep over it and change my mind a hundred times.

    When I was searching for a car to replace my GTS I was trying to find something unique but ended up locking in a deal on another red/black car.

    A nicely kept example is gorgeous in just about every color I've seen so it's hard to pick a favorite.

    Of course I will love the red car but don't think I would love it any less if it were black or blue.
