    There are more and more things I find completely crazy about Ferrari as a company... option that exist but don't exist, cars painted the wrong color (Elipinski) color refused to best cutomers (Chalstrad LafSpider)

    Could be a good clear wrap. Silver suits the tdf so well and this one is complimented by the perfect coloured stripe for the colour.

    I think you're right plus maybe a ceramic coating. Put those on my titanio aperta and the effect is a liquid look.

    Absolutely love the white one. I always felt that cuoio was not suited for harcdore Ferraris... this time it works pretty well. For sure not a real life car but the white looks almost real

    Come on Olivier!! Traditionally Ferraris often carried a stripe that represented a country's colours. Red, white and blue is neat as it covers France, the U.K. And the USA

    Nice because cuoio is one of the perfect colours for interiors, it's beautiful and suits every exterior colour.

    In my mind cuio interior on a white tdf looks too gt. White can be used as a race colour and given the character of the car, red for the interior is the first thing that comes to mind. Followed by charcoal or blue. I used to like the pop of the interior against the paint but now I prefer for them to work together.

    Well that's kind of a stretch isn't it? Red white and blue covers a crap load of countries.

    I'm with Olivier on this one, not liking this stripe... and I'm french as-well.

    The more I look at the TDF and the F12b the more and more impressed I am that Ferrari developed two different personalities of a car from the same starting point- both are handsome and have great proportions but so different. I love seeing all the pictures and sometimes I like the stripe and sometimes I don't... Such is life. I kind of wonder how the car with the "French" flag stripe would have worked out if the blue side of the stripe was framed by white as is the red side.

    I would take French racing blue for the paint choice instead of the french flag color stripe. That stripe just doesn't look balanced on a red body...

    In general the 'stripe' idea seems to have gained a lot of momentum lately as we see more builds!

    I love more and more the darker reds + Black wheels

    Despite all my passion and little knowledge about Ferrari I still have troubles distinguishing all those rossos paints :

    Fuoco/maranello/monza/berlinetta/Mugello.

    I can recognize Corsa, Scuderia and Rubino more easily.
