    this is very close to what I will likely do I thought about red seats and black rest of interior but I have had several cars with all Cuoio interiors and they look great I will likely do Daytonas as I usually do but probably will go with the electric Daytonas VS the racing seats .. but have not really decided that part.. If I go Cuoio I will do the dash also never had an issue with it and it looks great esp with the carbon fiber offset.. I will do black carpets... and I am thinking a Girgio
    stitching .funny.....

    Yeah. It doenst exist. Not even at auctions. Only salvaged ones. If 18's go for sub 200k, I would get rid of my 580-2 in a heartbeat and get another 488 in black as that was my second color of choice. :)

    This is one of the best build in black I've seen. Good luck to the seller.

    That's good to know. Now I understand why people report more cabin sound even with GPF.

    having had that on my E63S it really made a different and that is a luxury car with a 4liter turbo charged 600hp engine different type of engine( cross plane V8 vs Flat plane V8) but the sound really is a big feature....

    Honestly I wouldn't rave about about the interior exhaust note. It isn't bad but but I expected it to be better on the inside tbh. I was hoping that it would have got angrier toward the red but it sounded still quite tame at 8000 rpms and overall had a fairly consistent tame volume across the rev range which for the type of car it is could have and should have been turned up a few notches especially as the revs rise to hit the red. I'd describe the inside sound as more of a smooth and tame gentlemanly type note (bit like say a Bentley V8S) and this is when using the throttle hard too. But it's still nice....just not angry nice.....which some more volume to help with the angry element so to let your ears know you are nearly at red and to shift rather than have to watch the tach or bounce off the limiter.

    Outside F8 can still be heard on approach at full noise and, as it goes past, and it still has a slight Ferrari engine note to it, but the noise coming from the engine at full throttle and rpms is basically just a whole lot of induction noise and the sound of spent gas being forced out the pipes which drowned out 95% of the combustion notes. I guess that's the bi product of the GPF and cats. I think anyone buying an F8 should accept the noise still leaves quite a bit to be desired for a 700hp supercar. But it is still a very beautiful car nonetheless.

    Now I don’t feel as bad with a build price approaching $400K.

    And I find them very supportive and comfortable. By far, my favourite.

    I agree, they fit me perfectly. The standard race seats look great in black with contrast in body color. I did the Daytonas in my car since I did care for the black inserts on Cuoio.

    $400k is a lot of money. I’ll buy used.

    Tom the car looks awesome especially with the black roof which is what I specked on mine. Love the first picture with the 512 showing through the glass in the upper level of the dealership. I feel like someone said that was Sammy Hagar’s 512?

    Formally it does not - the air entry for the S-duct is actually below. The air flow from the top of the bumper is certainly disturbed though.
