    We agree.But it's very hard to resist to almost everything that Ferrari does.It's this myth..

    I'm second to none in my love for Ferrari, but I honestly wouldn't take a Pilota over a standard Pista. It's ironic that they call it a TM car because one will have much more latitude building a Pista than a Pilota, it seems. Regardless, I do like the "idea" that they are making a limited number for an exclusive few. I just don't like the looks of it, which is the most important thing to me.

    Yes and thats my biggest disappointment... the Car has the 2017 WEC Livery to honor the WEC World Title, lots of Carbon, Nr 51 on Door and Steering Wheel but you CANNOT have the 2017 Color of the Car nor Rosso Scuderia. I mean if you make a Road Version "lookalike" of your World Champion Car but not offering the Color you did not make the Job properly. Why should it be silver.. or yellow... I dont get that. I have a confirmation but why should I buy I car with the "wrong color"?

    I would have thought Ferrari would give you one as your Speciale must have provided them with at least as much of the "inspiration" as the 2017 GTE !

    This isn't supposed to be an upgraded model. It's just a livery, just like the 70th edition "special models".

    Agreed. Very astute on the V8 a rung below the V12. The numbers are well managed. Evidence the 488 same time as F12, the Pista reportedly same as 812 and the F12TDF the fastest.

    I wonder how much of a premium for the Pilota compared to the standard Pista?

    With the high cost of competing in Ferrari series' and racing, you'd think they'd offer the Pilota scheme to those people for free. I mean, it's pretty much such some paint and bare carbon, right?

    I was told that there will be a price difference, although the amount is unclear.

    If this is the case, I'll seriously consider to pass and get the normal one that I've been allocated.

    For a 100K, you could create your own 1 of 1 tailor made version.

    Except that at these price levels (that include the standard Pista IMHO) people prefer to buy "Ferrari endorsed exclusivity" rather than what they like, guessing that second-hand buyers will also buy "exclusivity" rather than someone else's spec (no matter how nice it could be).
    In the end it's more about speculative investment than liking the car.

    You got a good point. I just think driving around a car that says "Pro" looks pretty douchy, lol!
