    Interior is very spartan! Alcantera steering wheel looks rely cool! Not a fan of the Italian flag on the paddles.

    Stripe is very similar to way I want to spec my Pista so crossing fingers I'm still allowed to do it !

    Quite surprised they did not put the one piece racing seats in.

    Paddles are like mine that I specified more than one months ago.....I should ask for copyright!!

    With this livery they should call “Pizza Margherita” :)))
    By the way they didn’t change the name....it’s merely a Taylor Made exercise

    HA. I was thinking the same thing. That's a total contradiction.

    If you are a Ferrari Challenge racer, you can drive on the road with a car livery reserved for the Ferrari racing drivers with your race number on the doors.

    I see but still, sure you could have done that before with TM without Ferrari monitoring, now you will probably not be allowed to do it out of this Pilota edition.

    I appreciate that it's numbers will be limited, but given that I'm not a fan of livery and stripes, this is just taking that to an extreme. I much prefer the clean look I'm choosing for my Pista.

    I think its really fantastic! If you are a Challenge driver and order one of these cars, will it have your Challenge number on it, or will they all have number 51- from the WEC winning car?

    Yes, there is a marketing element, but look at it from the standpoint that everyone is trying to help Ferrari succeed and this will bring greater attention to the WEC success.

    Too much livery for me and in some respects it reminds of the Alonso 599. Time will not be kind on this car I think.

    I thought the same. Reminded me of the Alonso 599s, which I think look great. This, to my eye, looks likewise awesome...T

    My opinion for ''Piloti Ferrari'' 488 PISTA:
    I generally like the livery except from the two logos (WEC & PRO) on the bonnet, the number on the steering wheel and the colored bottom of the seats. I find very interesting the uncolored cf rear spoiler and the contrast
    that creates the mainly white end of the ''flag''. Let's wait and see how the other colors (Blue TDF, Nero & Argento) will look like.
