    Thank you Marcel. Any interior shots as it looks like it might be the first leather one?

    Reaffirms my choice. Just stunning. Would appreciate any internal pics of the cuoio interior. Is the cuoio in leather or alcantara? Thanks

    Marcel is the last car in the corner beyond the tdF a 365 GTC/4 model? Rare, only made for 1971 and 1972...

    My favourite so far, hoping to see Blue Scozia over Cuoio one day

    Many thanks. Very interesting to see leather for the first time, as well as the Daytonas, alcantara being the standard spec. It makes me wonder about the wisdom of a full alcantara interior and maybe a half and half could be an interesting compromise.

    Thanks Marcel. Cuoio in leather is timeless. Mugello exterior with cuoio interior even more so. To my eyes with the full leather interior it essentially maintains the luxury GT ambience of the original F12 but with more serious intent with all that matte CF.

    Not really Daytonas but race seats done with 'daitona' trim.
    Something the eu gets but FNA was reluctant to offer the option to their customers on the 458 for example.
    I think the full leather example Marcel shared is almost perfect. Simple is always better without a lot of distractions like red rings on the dash vents???? Not to mention the red stripe on the engine to.
    I do like the 'engine turned aluminum' look for the dash that was an option on the early F12's. It didn't seem to catch on with so much of the rainbow mad 'carbon craze' period now...

    I always thought beige or even cuoio are not suited for the recent "Hardcore" ferrari cars like the GTO, Scuderia, speciale and TDF... those need a more alcantara or clothe and dark oriented interior.

    Cuoio and beige are great for the FF, the Scaglietti and mid engined spiders IMO

    Correct, but they are referred to as Daytona on the options list.

    I think that is correct. Sitting in the car it felt so different from a standard F12, so much more purposeful and race orientated, that leather seemed a contradiction more suited to a less hard core GT. That to me means black, blue or possibly charcoal alcantara is the choice.

    If I may, a counterpoint, with full respect that 1) get the car they way YOU want it and 2) there are no "bad" choices if you like them

    With our spec, we went "aggressive" outside, and more "Lusso" inside (to the extent that's possible with all the CF options we picked).

    I have spent a lot of time in race cars, and while the TDF is sure to be hair raising on the street and track, for us it's going to be a street car....so we went with all leather and a nice finish. (we actually did the same on our Speciale).

    No doubt the car is hard core, but we plan to do a lot of miles in it, and Ferrari does really nice interiors. (we did a 1500 mile/5 day road trip in our Speciale this summer. Mostly backroads, a bit of freeway cruising. It was nice to have a nice interior...)

    Would you happen to have a picture or link to this? Sounds like it could have been an exciting interior option. Thanks.

    I see your point, but speciales, scuderias and even challenge stradales (not to mention GTOs) with full leather interiors and tan or beige colours always looked great to me. I mean it's not like you're ruining an otherwise perfect spec. I admit it's no so purposeful as dark alcantara but works perfectly great. Then again, I always liked diamond stitching which most people find out of place in a sports car. I'm definitely in the classy side of the spec spectrum vs. the sporty side. I guess that might change if I had more than a couple Ferraris, then I might add some red here and there :D

    That looks better than expected...wow! Love the ''diamond'' transmission tunnel, a good look back to the 60s Ferrari GT's.

    I was about to post that in hardcore Ferrari's full alcantara is a must but this looks scarily good...

    The aluminum trim for the dash, steering wheel and even the shift paddles was featured in the aptly named 'PERFECTION' issue #16 of The Official Ferrari Magazine (March 2012). The metal had a strange silver look with angled black ribs throughout. Only one picture shown of what appeared to be just a 'design interior' with no car present. Black daytona seats with red inserts that matched the red carpet and red door panel inserts to. I've never seen that metal trim used anywhere else so perhaps the designers were simply trying to achieve a different look back in 2012 for the new F12. It was not the same as the old classic car 'engine turned aluminum' look though...
