    Has anyone specked their new 488 in the new colour ROSSO CORSA METALLIC ?

    Apparently a greater depth in colour of the Rosso Corsa

    It's 12k US; yes I think it's worth the cost. It's a deeper red on an overcast day and gorgeous bright without it being orange on a sunny day. I think it's very much worth the upcharge

    No. Can't really tell a difference from RC.

    There is a clear difference. At first glance, no, but with the different lighting, the RC M looks stunning under all conditions whereas the RC (I had the RC 458) looked a lot more dull and hid the lines of the car. The Metallic accentuates those lines much better

    I have a triple layer metallic and 3 other Ferraris in non-metallic Rosso corsa. I was frankly disappointed when I got my RC metallic spider as the difference to the standard RC is not obviously noticeable as opposed to my triple layer TDF. I say save the money or go with a triple layered red.

    Here is where my ignorance shows.

    I actually thought the RC Metallic was a triple layer. Can someone explain the difference?

    My dealer did not recommend to get it as he thought no difference from just RC.

    I understand It's a multi-layer paint process that's very metallic and deep and changes colors under various lighting. You have to tell someone a car is RC metallic for them to really notice as supposed to when you see a multi-layered car, you NOTICE!! It costs around 30k for the paint option. Saw a number of examples at Taylormade and don't think I can ever order a car with "regular" paint.

    I've seen it a few times now, and I will concur with those who say the difference is not huge - and imo, not worth the price.

    If you want a really "deep" red, look for Rosso Fuoco, Rosso Maranello and Rosso Coburn.

    nice color but I think you can find better things to spend 12k on.

    I believe it's 30k, not 12.

    Thing is I really want Rosso Corsa but I have always noticed with red solid cars there will always be dull spots at certain angles when viewed.

    I pointed this out to Ferrari and that's why they advised me on the Metallic.
    Its obviously not the triple coat but over here still is a 20 K option.
