    I received mine from Atelier but it doesn't include the tariff or delivery. All in without taxes looking at 675K. I'm thinking most will be between 650 and 750 including the 8.5% tariff.

    hi, appreciate the response...............so youre at 675K inclusive of Tariffs, but not sales tax when registered? I was told to add another 5% to the MSRP for tariffs which will actually be on the window sticker.

    Also, if a window has 50k in tariffs on it and the total sale price is 700k hypothetically do you now have to pay sales tax on the Tariffs when you register? Here in NY its 8.65% of the sale price. which i guess would include tariffs. crazy

    8.5% Tariff on top of total and taxes on top of that total!

    Tariffs are calculated on the MSRP of the car + all the options (but not the destination fee). Sales tax is calculated on the TOTAL cost of the car = MSRP + Options + Tariffs + Destination + Dealer PPF + Dealer Tire Protection, etc, etc, etc.

    Sales tax is a tax by the State. Tariffs is a tax by the Country. And, neither of them care about duplicative taxes.

    Kvadrat? That’s what they showed me in NYC for TM, they have fabrics originally for boats that are water resistant and stuff.

    As far as I understand, what you describe as "tariffs" is the Ferrari invoiced "contribution to tariffs", which indeed applies to the MSRP (including options). This is not the US country import tax, the actual tariff.
    The actual tariff of 15% is on the net price from the manufacturer when entering the US, it is paid by the manufacturer on a price the end customer does not know.
    If the end customer price is not changed, there is obviously less money left for all costs and profits in this US (for distribution, sales and so on), unless the manufacturer reduces its net price when entering the US (which would leave less money for the manufacturer itself).
    Ferrari decided to counter that by passing an unknown part of the tariffs that it pays (the 15% of its entering price) to the end customer, applying a "contribution" to the end customer (8.5% of the MSRP including options, in this case).
    In the end, I believe the "contribution to tariffs" and the "sales tax" are applied as you state, though.

    Ferrari does use Kvadrat Field 2 fabric as in this example. Typically used on the center section of thee seats. It is paired with Jeans Aunde Blu for the rest of the seat covering.

    That’s it, that’s the type of material, still don’t know the name, yesterday I went to see my 812 Comp pre delivery and it has similar material and I asked the SA what the name was he said “I have no idea” LOL

    I actually really liked it because it looks and probably is so hard wearing and easy to live with.

    The tailor made additions can add THREE extra paragraphs of options details to the Ferrari factory build plates. Normal builds have two paragraphs shown or just one paragraph for models with limited options.
    Every 'name' option chosen should be spelled out on your build plate for your information.

    Here is an example of THREE extra paragraphs on a build plate >

    This build featured Black Connolly leather

    With the speciale aperta carbon package, it is not clear to me that the rear winglets are in carbon. In pics, it looks different than the surrounding carbon, like it is painted. Anybody have any info?

    I believe they are painted with little exposed carbon , the decision therefore is just on weight not aesthetics. The standard parts are so small, not aluminium, one wonders the benefit , if at all .

    It'll be interesting to see availability. I'm not sure I like it more than what I can spec myself.

    If you choose the option, the inside of the winglets are carbon, not the outside exposed portion. My dealer said if you don’t choose the carbon wing option, it is painted in the body color. Someone in another chat said it will be black plastic on the inside and not painted. Who knows?

    I’m referring to a special order aperta only
    Carbonio package. The inner winglets are available to anyone with 11k to burn.
