The Official Ferrari 812 SUPERFAST pictures thread

it seems that getting to Friday will be a struggle this week...

oh and why couldn't the calipers be painted CdF like the body? The guy will be standing there with paint in hand.

 

Being a standard color I think GS is a better value for money; my uneducated eyes do not see much dramatic difference between these three shades of grey (even though I admit they are not exactly the same; seems to me like ferro is the lightest and CDF is the darker).
I'd rather spend money for getting triple layer than for getting a so-called "historic" color.

 

GS is a bargain - no doubt people would pay more if Ferrari marketed it as a "special colour".

 

I wish I knew the answer. It was on display and drove a bit in the Cavalcade last month in Puglia.

 

Grey paints are like wines. For the non connoisseur they can be almost identical, for the aficionado they are each a whole world.

You're right, GS can be considered as the reference

Ferro is lighter and has that "Ferric" hint that can be seen in the sun

CdF has a "Graphite" hint, like the a lead pencil end.

 

Great shots!

 

In an ideal world you are correct however 3 layer CDF shows way too much of the gold when in very direct and bright light as 3 layer paints generally exaggerate the metallic and or other elements within the paint. Now, one could create a completely new colour with less gold and more silver metallic but then you are headed down a different road of time and to and fro with factory ext etc. Of the "standard" greys, a 3-layer of GS would be nicer than the 3-layer of CDF which I've seen (originated) in-person.....

I have this "issue" with my 3-layer blue F12....it looks bloody purple in extreme light....however it's actually a very dark blue under normal conditions.....

 

A triplo strato GS shoudn't look too far from that marvellous triple layer maserati color called "Grigio Lava"

Grigio Lava is a great colour - very deep

 

Beautiful photos!

Congratulations to Scraggy on a wonderful spec! I am really looking forward to seeing pictures!

 

Looks like a half sister of the grigio medio family....

 

You think so ? Medio and scuro are flat colors.. this one is metallic !

 

Very dark and metallic

 

Yes... Lava belongs to the Cdf/Grigio granito family

 

No gold

 

The darker square is 3 layer CDF on top of standard CDF.

Am toying with Lava. Thoughts welcome please.

I assure you it's much too much gold in direct light....will pm you pics of my "purple" F12....lol

FWIW Lava was my fall back had I continued on with a 3-layer extravaganza...

 

LAVA !!!!!!!!! it would be so great to see that maserati color on a Ferrari

No gold

Deep & Rich grey

DO IT

 

Its bascially CDF minus the gold, therefore still darker than GS....

 

Well said MalibuGuy! I think being able to order the car presents you the chance to show your unique character and thus make something special even more so. But- they are all special in my opinion.

I was at the event and according to the plaque inside the car the exterior is "Grigio Silverstone 740" and the interior is "Rosso Ferrari 130421"

 

The 3-layer CdF matches Maserati's Grigio Granito.

How about Abarth's Grigio Trofeo, Grigio Campovolo, Grigio Record, Grigio Pista, now that we're in the grey area?

 

That list of grey paints gave me à.... Well

Sorry boss but the entire day will be used to investigate each if them

 

I like the gold, must be a bit odd by look of it. I nearly ordered the below, metallic bronze.

My abarth is Grigio Trofeo...more green zero gold

 

Thank you for the insight. The spec plaque is an invaluable tool which clears up ambiguity and creates a stronger provenance profile.

Another Ferrari innovation.
