    Which could hardly be realized on a 296 since it doesn’t have an S-duct.
    Possible on an F8 though.

    Blu Corsa with Sabbia interior at yesterday’s Esperienza Ferrari event in Napa.

    The GTS is *stunning* to drive, by the way! I know it’s not faster in a straight line than my Plaid daily driver but, with the top down and exposure to the elements, it sure feels like it is! Didn’t get that sense in the GTB… Image Unavailable, Please Login

    For me that’s perfect except I’d get blue accents in the seats.. not black stripe

    Yeah, that'd be cool! I will say I felt like the black stripe did nicely tie into the other black bits of the cabin (including the carbon) so, if you go blue with the seat stripe, the question could easily become where to stop with the blue. I could imagine going pretty far down that rabbit hole ;)

    As you can see from the obligatory selfie below, with the GTS you can see the car's exterior color super well looking back (rearview mirror) in addition to forward. So, if you're going with a consistent color theme inside and out, then really closely color matching would be extra important IMO.

    Yes, true... to go all blue/tan on the interior you'd have to consider all of the dashboard, carpets, etc.

    I love the spec on this F8 that has the blue in the seats:

    The 296 front in its relativ simplicity reminds me of the 458.
    Nice, timeless.
    Not a bad finding.

    Is this a dealer demo or a personal car if I may ask... Thought that demos are only arriving now and client cars after the summer

    Wow! That's super early, as said was under the impression that costumer cars would only come in 6 months... Congrats!

    The factory indoors picture doesn't do Blu Abu Dhabi justice. Absolutely beautiful paint color you have chosen there!

    Exciting ! Should be here very soon!

    Do you have a GTB? Are you trading it back to your dealer ?

    which dealer are you buying through ?

    My dealer is DL Swindon. They are great and I cannot fault them. Great group of people and also a nice community around the dealership.

    If I sell any of my cars it will (happily) be through them.
