    Finally got my photo from the end of the production line.

    Rosso F1 2007 with a custom Argento/Nero NART stripe. Black gloss wheels and aluminum calipers.

    Can't wait to see it in the flesh. I'll post more photos of the interior and exterior once it arrives.

    Beautiful car. However, I noticed they made a mistake and put the steering wheel on the wrong side.

    Very unique combination. It will be a long wait but I can assure you it is worth it.

    Wow! I am honestly not a big fan of Opaco paints, but this is very beautiful. I don't think I have ever seen this on another Ferrari.

    It's disappointing that Ferrari wasn't a bit more "creative" with these pictures. The first two are worthless unless they are part of a more comprehensive series of pictures.

    I'm surprised that Ferrari hasn't figured out that they can probably charge dopes like me an extra charge for a more thoughtful series of production pictures :)

    It is disappointing but I understand. One big concern is that the cars once they enter the assembly line, they are surrounded by workers. Because of worker rights and the union, faces cannot be photographed. So as cool many of the steps are between the 2nd and 3rd picture, logistically it would be difficult to do. Probably a reason why the VIP books stopped. (Which I think was a great idea)

    White and yellow just seem to work with the Speciale IMO. More than any other model Ferrari perhaps?

    With the Ferrari IPO in mind, I read that Ferrari is going to do a lot more things to profit from their "brand" without dramatically increasing car production (they seem to understand the importance of "exclusivity"). More surfboards with cavalinos, clothing, etc. (It's okay to a point, but I hope they don't over do it...it gets kind of corny seeing Ferrari logos on things that don't make sense...remember the surfboards with Stradale stripes? That said, I couldn't find a Ferrari hat with a NART stripe anywhere! They missed that opportunity to make a few extra bucks :)

    Seriously, I think they could charge us (and I bet a lot of us would pay extra) for a better, more interesting series of production pictures. Of course I can understand the privacy issues, but I bet with just a bit of thought and effort they could find a solution.

    Hey Ferrari. Here's a simple idea to help your stock price :) do it!
