    Ha that's great, did you like how it turned out on your 812 GTS? Did you post photos of it anywhere?

    If you're not intending on keeping it indefinitely, then getting no-charge black and getting a well-done wrap is the way to go IMO. They also have more colors of PPF hitting the market, which combine the thick protection of PPF with colors.

    Rosso Magma is truly amazing when it's out in the open. It's a colour that tends to change quite a bit depending on the sun.
    I had it specced on my 812C as it's the "brightest red" Ferrari has according to them.
    However when it's cloudly the bright effect tends to wane a bit; which is actually great to me!

    What would you have gone with? Wasn’t my intent, but this is how one of the launch cars was done. I originally had it black with the base yellow, but like silver better with this variant. Wide open to input and I am sure there are lots of opinions as one finds on forums. At the end of the day, personal preference. Also most likely wrap a stripe on it

    I’ve had Magma, Maranello, and Fuoco. I have Rosso Libano coming. I may spec Maranello again on this one. Or something completely different.

    Nice. Which one is your favorite? Most brightest red?

    That’s a hard decision. I’d say in the sun Maranello is hard to beat. It looks wet and smooth, and I like that. Magma is the brightest of the 3, and looks similar in the sun to Maranello, but has more than just red in it. Fuoco suits an aggressive cat in my opinion, and I had it on the Pista. Maranello is a mica and I believe the other two are metallic, so there’s that difference. Here’s Maranello and Magma in the same setting:

    Thanks for info. I am liking Magma more (bottom pic)..

    I have seen Fuoco but it looks like burgundy/maroon.

    Both very special. Can't go wrong with either. If you've seen the Mazda soul Crystal Red, that's probably closest to Maranello. Dull when the light isn't right, but when it catches, good lord!

    Congrats! Coupe or Spider? They give you a sense of when you might expect it?

    Mine is still not on there. I’m told first year of production, just not sure when.

    Mine shows waiting list as well. Submitted configuration. Was told in first wave, but potentially 18+ months with no real defined schedules yet and driven by the limited v12 engine production schedule fwiw. Super excited regardless

    Thanks! I’m ordering a coupe and was given estimated timing of late next year. I got the sense that initial unit volume will not be as high as the 812, which makes sense considering it shares the V12 capacity with the Purosangue.

    I do wonder if the Puro will have an optional V6 or V8 in the future which would free up volume for the 812C.
