    Yes I was thinking Pozzi to though the light is giving a slightly different look to the color than what you typically see for Pozzi.
    Remember the early dark blue German LussoGTC that was Scozia appeared different; a darker shade compared to this 488...

    Not my car. It was for sale at a Ferrari dealer in april where the ad stated/showed the color as "Blu Scozia"..

    Tricky color for sure depending on the light. Thank you for confirming "Blu Scozia" on this wonderful 488 spider!

    I just received my Pozzi Blue Spider last week but left the next day, will post photos for Pozzi Blue fans when I return home after Labor Day. Also ordered the 812 in Pozzi!

    FWIW I just looked at some pics of Blu Pozzis under the sun and there's definitely a difference. Scozia lighter and more blue, Pozzi darker and some teal in it.

    (Again, the "recently sold" section at Naples Motorsports website proved as an invaluable source, even if it's not perfect: I found some colour errors in it - drop me a line anyone who'd want to comment)

    Heard in a YouTube clip that for 2017 model year Ferrari may have introduced a brand new sport exhaust system "without telling anyone about it...under the radar".
    Can anyone verify this rumor, any difference in sound between 2016 and 2017 models?

    I asked the dealer and he was certain that there are no changes...

    My heart has historically been with the traditional front-engined V12's, but the 488 GTB is one hell of an impressive car. Amazing handling, addictive acceleration, beautiful fit and finish, and yes, a great exhaust note (we pinned the valves open). I absolutely love this car. Ferrari of Atlanta (Michael Mills, Will Campbell, Michael Roth) rocks!

    Fantastic looking 488!!
    Have also pinned the valves open on mine, and agree that the note is great.

    Doesn't this affect the 3 years warranty and 7 years service plan? Wanted to do this on my late California T but according to the dealer it would have voided both...
