    Well, after some head scratching I finally was able to find one that I wanted. Just arrived a few days ago but have not been able to drive it as the last bit of snow is still on the ground. Shouldn’t be too long.
    It’s the Rosso 70anni with two tone beige tradizione and Nero. Lots of carbon inside but not on the outside. Love the look of this car, so muscular and classy at the same time.

    Congrats. She’s a beauty. You will love her.

    My Nero Nero became mine in February and have put over 500 miles and love every minute. I traded my F12 and there is a tremendous upgrade.

    Cannot wait for your impressions from your 458.


    Interior pictures please .....

    How would you compare ff vs f12, worth the upgrade or not?

    There's not much out there more enjoyable to drive than a 458 - except the 812 :)

    Congrats on the upgrade.

    Awesome color! (Mine’s Rosso 70 anni also). The 812 is a magnificent car, absolutely in love with mine.

    I am fortunate to have just added a 458S to my 812. They are both sublime, but it is hard to imagine any better car ever than an 812. Both keepers for sure!

    Thank you so much!

    Thats what I am hoping for, cannot wait for the first drive!

    Right on!!

    Thanks so much

    Wow amazing!

    No kidding, for school or work?

    Will do, anxious to drive her, will start in wet mode and work my way up to race, shouldn't take long!

    Thanks for the tip, its big hp to put down, will need to put her on a track to really exploit it.

    Big time congrats! The 812SF is an absolutely outstanding machine. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on how the 812 compares to the 458.

    Also, don’t be afraid to start in race mode if it’s dry. I find wet and race are the only 2 modes that exist, and I only use wet in the wet. @GameMaker actually told me about the magic of wet mode traction control, and it really is quite good in the wet. Sport mode is like driving in wet mode in the dry as far as I’m concerned. Might as well just click it to race and enjoy it

    Thank you so much. On my 458, I think I can count on my hand over the last four years how many times I drove it NOT in race mode. So, I would like to think that I will do so with the 812. But, I am going to respect this one because of the near 800hp. I am sure soon enough though it will be always in race mode. The shift points and the aggressive way it up shift and downshift is the best aspect of race mode! Looking forward to it!

    I guess I’m a grandpa:)
    Car is very aggressive in Sport mode.
    Nervous to even try race. Have been in Sport mode for about 5 months since purchase.

    Absolutely beautiful 812. Aside from driving it, is there any better feeling than just staring at a freshly detailed Ferrari in the garage? Congrats!

    The 812 is the only thing I've driven that was in a class with the 458. I also always drove my 458 in manual mode and usually CT OFF or Race. First time I drove an 812, I remember saying to myself "Alright! This is what I'm talking about!" - in an odd way the 812 feels a bit like riding a powerful super bike. Very fun car; you'll be fine :)
