    So, what wheels are on the white LaF? They looks smaller than the optional wheels that look like the FXXK's.

    I think that's an optical illusion due to camera angle and the fact that the suspension is lifted for the car to clear the ramp in that pic. There is a video by Stradman of that car being unloaded and the wheels look perfectly proportional. I think they are indeed the wheels shown in the accessories catalogue.

    Go to 5:00 in this video to see it. (I recommend muting the video as the guy is quite irritating)

    It is strange. They look better in that video but still not quite as nice as on an FXXK. As if they were smaller or fitted with fatter tires.

    I think it has to do with the fatter tyres, and also that the wheels on the FXXK have different center lugs. That yelloy cavallino doesn't really work on those wheels IMO...

    They probably are different than those in the FXXK, but I don't think they look so bad on the LaFerrari. I guess I still prefer the original wheels, though.

    i actually found this guy's videos are quite interesting, and he may be a follower on this forum. Is it a good thing, hurting somebody by publicly labeling himself ''irritating'' or something? These kind of opinions are fairly personal..and isn't it better to keep them private.

    i think he has the right to express his personal opinion ( which i agree by the way). i don't think he went overboard with his comment though so we may just leave it at that.

    I like the full red body and the yellow-tinted headlights.

    Is the yellow tint factory? If so what is the reason behind it? The 488 gt3s sometimes have it.

    Yellow headlights = France. Often, not always.

    I remember older french cars having yellow headlights as these cut through the fog better than the white ones. On the other hand they are tiresome in fair conditions and that's why they have been abandoned. I think that the choice of yellow headlights on this LF is purely cosmetic and almost certainly an aftermarket effort.

    Regarding the GT3 cars that have been mentioned, yellow headlights are dictated by regulations in order for them to be distinguished at nighttime on the track by the drivers of faster classes cars.

    The all red LF in question here (post #7691) has been delivered new in France to first owner Mr. G. L., who has since sold it to Switzerland.
