    Great shot, what a scoop, seconds from safety with the cover on the roof, he won't be popular.

    Anyone see a big dollop of 275 GTB in the rear, aside from obvious GTO?

    Contrary to what many have said, I think this car will look epic in anything other than bright colours.

    Do you mean will not look epic in anything other than bright colours? If yes, I completely agree. But I've not a bloody clue what colour to spec mine. Looking at the pic I feel Grigio Alloy with GS stripe perhaps? You visiting on 1st Sept?

    I don't like the car in yellow, nor I suspect in electric blue of any sort, whereas I think the 458/488 look great in the triple yellow. What I was trying to say was that I think quieter colours will suit the car better as there is so much going on. I was looking at Grigio Alloy yesterday and agree that could be interesting. Waiting for confirmation sometime in September is all I currently know.

    How about dark blue with orange seats and dark blue dash and seat belts? Also orange trim on the lower dash....

    The full width carbon strip between the lights is nice but looks rather delicate compared to how the Scuderia rear carbon trim was styled.
    The rear window looks longer top to bottom.

    Dark blue with orange seats? You're clearly not married ;)

    ha ha; still that color combination dark blue over orange was on an original 275 GTB/4 that sold for the highest price any 275 GTB had gone for at that time. Interior pictured from the sale GTB. I liked it but agree it is not to everyone's taste...

    I wonder if those 3 rear fender vents are open to the tires?

    It's nice to see this car without the camo, I just wish the photo was taken from the other side so we would be able to see the outside fuel filler cap.

    Agree.
    At least in this photo...looks too contrived, trying to hard to be retro.

    Those wheels dont go with the rest of the car. Not aggressive enough. It needs something with more stance, thicker spokes.

    Agreed. Glad my car won't be until late in the run being RHD as that gives the time for more options to appear. Really don't like them from what I can see.

    Even though I am still keen on Grigio F, a dark metallic blue seems to suit it, although I have yet to see a Ferrari dark metallic blue I really like, a metallic Pozzi. What is that 275 blue above?

    This may look good in pozzi blue or perhaps rosso barchetta.

    How about a metallic blu scozia?... I think I'd favor standard scozia.

    I also think this car will look fantastic in Argento.

    I think the car looks great! Definitely a lot of 275 and 250 in it.

    Another home run for Ferrari.

    A very impressive shade of blue is an acknowledged historic blue called " navy blue "...Think about it.
