    You said "Sport seats" I see a lot of carbon fiber, do Sport seats come with Carbon Fiber?

    Big congrats! Awesome to see my car's shipmate in good hands and being enjoyed so much. I'm with you 100% on everything you said - couldn't be more in love, and honestly happy to have a chance to spec a new one. There's something quite special about taking delivery of a new Ferrari that you had a hand in creating, isn't there?

    Enjoy in the best of health!

    Sold my ‘23 GTB with 3,800 miles for 112 off MSRP. If u add to this the 7% commission by dealer and sales tax, the hurt is even worse. Picked my new ‘25 GTS yesterday. The new steering wheel with semi haptic controls is a step up but still not as good as proper buttons. Carbon fiber racing seats (in the GTS) looks spectacular compared to the fully electric seats I had in the GTB. I went with same Rossa Corsa color but added the bi-color black roof + a pillar option and it makes the car look very attractive with the roof up. Build locked before I could change the wheels to diamond polished forged wheels so decided to powder coat the wheels to look like F80 wheels (gloss black spokes, gloss black barrel, silver outside facing lip). Vehicle is in the powder coating shop. Next week will get Uniden radar deductor + laser jammer (legal in the state I live), dash cams, PPF, ceramic coating done. I loved the GTB and have no doubts I am going to enjoy the GTS also … at least until I get 849 Testarossa Spider .
