    My 2018 488 GTS should arrive later today or tomorrow. I came for a Porsche GT2 RS so the move wasn't done for performance reasons. I just thought it was the time in my life that I better get on with my boyhood dream of owning an open air Rosso Corsa Ferrari. I looked for quite a while and this car is perfectly spec'd for me. I'll post some pics when she arrives but here are a few from the Ferrari dealer where I made the purchase. She is a CPO car with the two year factory "Power Warranty":

    That's a great spec! Well found! I'd have purchased this exact car myself. :D
