    Normal range, not icona, in development. A toy. No more questions for now, please.

    He is handsome, he could be an Icona, a modern classic inspired by the Daytona. Fabulous to drive with a good exhaust. Its only flaw is the interior in my opinion.

    Sounds like you’re talking about the F12 again certainly not the 12C!

    I thought Day misdirected us with the 12C initially, but after seeing it in person, I'm a fan. Ordered.

    My dealer said that Ferrari told him which customers could have his allocations for the Alperta.

    oh and I really love the C12. Even though there are quite a few here that hate it. Day355 got it right.

    at the launch he did not, but now yes. And yes, Aperta is a tough one to get, and in reality so is the coupe. It may seem like a lot of people are getting them, but it's only a handful on this forum.

    This means that the Aperta is the Most limited version and most difficult to obtain, followed by the Piloti and then the Coupé. The question will be whether this will remain the case and Ferrari will not allocate any further quotas for the Aperta. It's seems that people most trust in the Aperta version.

    few questions from my side :)

    surround view is mandatory ? because it seems so

    lightest seats can be covered in alcantara, I see more of a textile cover or so, also their size is only L, no XL available?!
    how much lighter are these vs lets say the regualr carbon seats.
    are these seats mounted even lower vs carbon seats?
    I mean my head is almost touching the roof even without a helmet on regular buckets.

    what are the alignment specs of 296 AF and what is expected for Speciale?
    Can a Ferrari dealer perform a track setup?
    Does such thing exist from Ferrari factory as support for us?
    I see almost 0 camber on 296s. Anybody has OEM specs? Anybody did an alignment?
    lowered the car on oem coilovers maybe?
    I am not talking novitec setups here, only oem or if anybody installed maybe the kw v5 that would be interesting to know.


    what we know so far about the Magnaride in the 296S, how is this better than before? new springs or what?

    how do you like the fire extinguisher in the passenger feet area and how comfortable is this setup for the passenger?

    CT off means traction control fully off? this is what I read in the users book, but it seems there is still a bit ot TC on even in CToff mode.

    alcantara steering wheel vs leather, pros and cons?

    tire pressures at the track, what works best for you? I see Michelin recommends 2.2 front and 2.0 rear for cup2r and 2.1f 2.0r for ps4s, I am interested only in michelins as oem tires. I find a bit weird having 2.2 front way more than rears for such a small tire, and the car is quite light in the front (40%), ok the tire is smaller and needs some air to sustain the weight, but still, the rears take the abuse of the high torque too

    is it true that K rated Cup2 are going to be released for 296S ? regular Cup2 not 2R


    I think thats pretty much it, thanks in advance for your answers :)

    With a good exhaust?, most people said the sound is terrible.

    [QUOTE="jumpinjohn,
    My dealer said that Ferrari told him which customers could have his allocations for the Aperta.


    Dealer needed to choose a customer with 3 F's in the garage for an Aperta- per the qualification letter.
    This one is over - books from my understanding closed last month.

    Ferrari does not offer a track set up that either of my dealers know of or would share on the GTB AF. Very few folks actually track these so there isn’t yet a consensus I’ve seen but I’ve played around a bit with mine. Certainly you can lower it a bit on the stock coilovers but there isn’t a ton of toll on the AF even at stock height. Also, like most good mid engine cars you don’t need a super aggressive alignment for it to work well and not destroy tires. -2 up front -2.2 in the rear is more than sufficient for camber. I like a little toe out in the front and neutral or slight toe in at the rear. But keep it neutral if you do a lot of highway driving. I don’t know about bars but I shoot for 34 psi max hot on the 4S all around. Cup is 32 because of the stiffer sidewall. I’m going to a super 200 tire next for hopefully the best of both worlds.

    To many, that's a good thing. To others, not so much.

    In any event, excited to learn more this new toy you're teasing.

    That’s the exact opposite of what every single owner here writes. The exhaust is, in fact, one of the points on the car owners are most complimentary of.

    I believe there is a glitch in the dealer configurator. Per the dealer configurator, the surround camera is standard and parking sensor is optional, however in reality it should be the other way around.
