Wow this car looks amazing and very close to my GTS spec. Interesting to see they mix the yellow callipers with red interior touches. hmmm... Red brake callipers also look nice on a black car.
They are possibly Jova wheels from China https://www.jovawheels.com/ferrari-custom-wheels-5-lug-deep-dish_p680.html Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Not my photos, but the 1st demo car showed up at the local Ferrari dealer. The car does not disappoint in the 'looks' department. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Drove the AF demo at FOCF this afternoon. My first impressions are favorable, I’m of the opinion that time marches on, and we’ll have to adapt to new technologies. Love the color scheme on this one. Image Unavailable, Please Login

Looks like it, lol! Must have just missed you! Maybe I’ll see you this coming Friday if you’re attending their Christmas party. Hopefully you’ve had or will have a drive in it. I like that particular spec and am going through it right now. Big decision is spider or AF. As a STO owner, I can say the AF is more of a DD than the STO. Totally different cars, however.
In Miami tonight and I’m going back home to Charleston tomorrow, so I’m going to miss the party. The car is insanely fast, composed, and a joy to drive. As almost all have commented the ergonomics and user interface are terrible. I’m happy to put up with it in a weekend sports car but I couldn’t live with it on a daily basis. Nothing happened today that made me question getting the GTS. The test drive was hugely helpful to me. My main takeaway was that the race seats are as beautiful as they are uncomfortable, a lot more so than 911 buckets. When the Pista version of this car comes out I’ll tolerate them, but I just want to be comfy in a spider and make sure my ass is ventilated when the roof is down, so I changed my spec to Daytonas. The only other thing I learned and would be useful to people speccing these is how insanely intrusive the reflection of the dash dream line is when one is driving. The car we drove had the AF package with the yellow dash stripe and that’s all you could see when you were driving. TLDR, dynamically the car is off the charts, ergonomically it’s somewhere between quirky and exasperating. So basically the most perfect Ferrari since 458.
Do you really want handling feedback from peeps that drove the car in Naples FL? There isn’t a hill or slight turn to be found till the Carolinas. Handled the Whole Foods parking lot like a champ … gmilfs dripping everywhere. #theregoesmyallocation
I think over the next couple years Ferrari will make improvements to the UI to make it more user friendly. Everyone hates it.
I hope so. The interface is what’s going to be in the PS, and that’s a car I plan to daily … if it’s the same as the 296 it might be the one thing that will make me the first person to give back my allocation. But I do want to be clear, today was a good day and made me really exited at the prospect of getting my 296 GTS, At the end of the day the greatest barometer is does the thing move you, and for my sensibilities and without wishing to offend anyone, it’s the first mid engine ferrari that’s moved me and felt soulful since the 458. In many ways its quirks are equally as adorable/maddening as the 458, and there’s nothing more peak Ferrari than that.
