    No way were there 90 options. Others can confirm but, for example, carbon engine bay covers, air boxes etc were standard whereas seemingly not here and I suspect that is just the start. Helps explain why the base price surprised many at approx 400k euros.

    There are about 75 options to choose from on the SpecA sheet so I guess it's not too far out. But bear in mind a lot of these options are duplicates like caliper colour, wheel choice etc etc......so would expect a similar case for the F12VS.

    Options make a lot of money for Ferrari. So do limited editions. Combining the two sounds like happy marriage for Maranello. My guess is all the different color choices = one option and perhaps the factory is listing as official options things one could order before but they would be extra campionario.. just speculation on this. I'm glad we're getting closer as I think this will be a very special car.

    Double thumbs up! :)

    As far as options, what is a "smoker kit"?

    They fit 175/60-18 all-season tires on the rear :cool:

    (Or, it may be the inclusion of an ash tray and cig lighter...)

    Hi
    Apparently there is a viewing on 28/29 July for some regions. Is anyone on the forum attending and if so what exact date?

    July 13/14 in Australia including slot for configuring the car. We have been reminded three times that iphone cameras (both lenses) will be covered over. Apparently HQ were very unhappy about that leak on FChat. In a real dilemma on colour - thinking Rosso Scuderia could come into it's own on this one (yes realise this is a first world problem).

    It wasn't Fchat that leaked them. It was autogespot.nl

    Is that July 21st as that was my first option as well but can't make it due to agenda problems. Will shift into September now for me.

    A lot of the CF elements were an option on the GTO as well. I ticked them all on my order and it added up on the end result. I expect the same will go for the F12 VS.

    I remember that there was an Asian 458 in the 458 section some years ago that had a racing seat with Daytona inserts, rather than the f12 racing sheet with the leaves....that may be the seat

    I thought they were posted here first by a user who posted "my dealer sent me these"?

    July 21st it is and I cannot make it either due to an earlier commitment. I have requested another date and been told not currently available-have you been offered September?

    You're right. Autogespot posted after Fchat did by 1 day.

    The more feedback and impressions that anyone who gets to see the car can post would be appreciated.
