488 GTO ?

If you're talking about manual gearbox (sorry if I misunderstood), that's very unlikely. Ferrari's engine chief said they are not going back and Roberto Fedeli even said Ferrari invested €10m to developed a manual 'box for the old California. In the end, only two customers ordered one:
"Fedeli said his experiences at Ferrari were enough to convince him that the manual transmission was dead. While developing the California roadster several years ago, he says, Ferrari invested €10m in a manual gearbox option and, overall, just two such cars were built for customers." (Source)

 

I think you'll find the 40 cars mentioned are across the Sytner Group which includes the significant Graypaul locations outside London.

 

That’s really too bad, I think California was the incorrect audience, do it in LE. Wishful thinking!!

 

Anyone in the UK had an invite to the Dealer Launch on the 20th Feb yet?

 

Hardly anyone would want such a thing anyway. It would be a huge anachronism on an otherwise state of the art car. Like a modern fighter plane with propellers...

Anyway, Ferrari won't make a manual gearbox ever again.

 

I know of one person. It's not me.......

 

Off course you're gonna get an invite

 

I really don't know. I hope so, but so far it's dinner for one on the 20th......

 

Well hope they see the light and give you an invite

 

He is probably already on the list for the LE..

 

I think it would also benefit the pre-owned 488 GTB/Spider market. Smart business.

I am really excited to see this car!

 

I've not heard anything yet......

 

Maybe more cars still to get allocated with the stock exchange development of the last days and right now...

 

and some cars might get reallocated::))

 

would a 288 GTO ownership improve your chances of getting the new VS model?

 

should.
because two GTO are better than one. father and son.

sorry but i still stuck with the GTO moniker...
how somebody can´t remember and do not ask back the name - if he heared it already...
P...

 

I heard you.......and I approve

 

owning a 288 gto improves ur chances of getting all limited editions

 

Owning a 812SF does not allways help ...

Sorry to go off topic for a moment, very sorry to see the damage to the 812 above- but... in this case the 812 did help, it apparently kept the people safe. They seem completely unharmed. A bruised ego can heal.

 

Not really - if its part of a stable of Ferrari maybe - but not on its own.

 

Oops sorry to see that - Is that your 812 Mel ?

 

No ... I don't have tattoos Jaz ...

Was just a sad example .... I think it was a hire car somewhere in Arabia ...

Let's go on-topic again !

 

So glad you are not in that photo. I was thinking something about stereotypes.

 

That guy posted Instagrams of himself starting up the car and revving.
