And again. Thanks for the Matte look, makes it look dead unfortunately to my eyes and almost plastic. Maybe it is is better in the flesh. Incidentally, I am becoming DCMs official photo poster but thanks for digging all these shots up Image Unavailable, Please Login
Re POST 1070 - Grigio Abu Dhabi is nothing like that and never looks beige even though called "beige" for some reason !
We make a good team ahah I asked a friend to make a 30 second P-shop to see how it looks with aerobridges in body color... It's a very quick made Pshop http://hpics.li/ea4c7c6
I was going to ask TM to do exactly that when I visited. Personally, I think I prefer them as original, but will study further Image Unavailable, Please Login
It's interesting how the different colours show of different parts. The metallics seem to show the subtlety of the lines a lot more. This pic shows how pronounced the hood lines are running to the front in comparisons with the aero bridge runways. The flat colours tend to show of the features better and make it look more sporty v elegant. The white one really highlights the race inspired rear windscreens. It's amazing how little of the standard f12 is left in the tdf.
Ferrari strayed as much as they could using the same platform but, other than to a designers eye, its sure looks undeniably an F12. I don't think they wanted a really different look such as the SP versions. They wanted more edgier and less elegant which is typical of recent Ferrari specials based on PF original bodywork.
Damn, that has to be rosso Scuderia? Really pops. Awesome. Without the aero bridge in carbon/black it looks a lot cleaner. Love it.
At this point I'm considering Blu NART for my tdf with a grey interior and blue piping/stitching. It's not too dark of a blue and therefore I'll be able to clearly see the lines of the car. Blu NART appears to be a triple layer finish though I'm not certain. If anybody actually knows please let me know. Thanks!

Wow what a stunner. I've yet to see a car Fuoco doesn't look stupendous on, like TDF and GS. Imho, with all the small details the aesthetic can get a bit cluttered with gloss carbon. The matte adds a bit of contrast and brings everything together cleanly. Image Unavailable, Please Login
^ "stupendous" & "cluttered" thanks, you improved my english with those two nice words I didn't know https://www.facebook.com/FerrariF12TourDeFrance/photos/a.480085605486219.1073741828.480083332153113/511523402342439/?type=3&theater Notice the alcantara steering wheel that many people here, including me, seem to love The place to be !
thanks for the link....not sure i like blue nart as much now. perhaps triple layer yellow is now the winner..winner.
The car is amazing and I think while based on F12 it stands much further apart from the base model than the other special models from the past.
Still deciding whether Matte carbon over Gloss. Extreme machines like the sublime TRS use Matte while the gloss feels more appropriate on a large luxury sedan? Image Unavailable, Please Login
IMO, the only thing that makes carbon recognizable is that brilliant finish. If you remove it it looks like average plastic. I really can't stand mate carbon. Before dying I'd like to see a 599 GTo with all the exterior carbon in Gloss Carbon like found on the Scuderia. I think Scuderia has the best exterior carbon finish. Carbon that looks like carbon.
Matte just looks like plastic. It's kind of ironic that to add carbon fibre costs more of a standard f12 while some on the tdf owners are going the other way. It's also like some huayra owners speccing their cars in matte with some of the most beautiful carbon fibre finishes being hidden by primer.
DCMET! I can't have you NOT see something before you move on. My GTO has glossy exterior CF. Image Unavailable, Please Login
What's quite interesting in this image is seeing how the rear looks without the carbon strip as black effectively hides that detail. To me the strip disguises the overall height and provides a more elegant proportion. I know some have been questioning it, not me, but here's your chance to see. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Did you go to the presentation and see it in the flesh? It does look amazing in the yellow, far better than I thought it would.
