    Have any of you guys ordered or taken delivery of a Vinaccia 458? I would love to see an actual picture of this color on the 458 instead of just on the configurator. Thanks.

    Very dark purple/bordeaux, so dark it's hard to tell from black depending on the view. It is a very elegant colour, suits the 458 nicely. I wouldn't order it for me but I understand those who would, and I like to see these rare colurs out there.

    I think this would be a great color for an elegant GT, but not a sports car. But, that's just my opinion.

    Mike Tyson had a Diablo in a similar color. With a chrome plated engine - very subtle.

    Congrats to the owner for making bold choice but yes, probably better color for larger, elegant body type.

    If you look closely, it seems that the steering wheel has been colour matched as well! And the contrast stitching on the dash.

    Why not an elegant sports car? I think the border between elegant and sporty is rather diffuse when talking about cars. Is a leather trim elegant or sporty? Surely both! OK, then there's alcantara which is definitely sporty, but leather is still the standard and no one finds it clashes with the sportiness of a 458. Another example, I like the race seats as much as the diamond pattern ones, both suit the 458 nicely.

    @jokr:
    Good observations, I hadn't noticed those details!

    I really have to work with this color. It takes some of the edge off the model, however, as Ferrari notes, the cars are all personalised and to this owner's taste. Hopefully he won't have regrets later. Bentley Gold Coast has a Rosso Mugello which seems a rare color in relation to the most popular. I think it looks stunning. If someone handed me the keys and said that one or this Vinachia were mine, I wouldn't quarrel.

    Wow gorgeous! Like the pozzi shade only purple. I bet it is stunning in the sunlight. Love to see a GT in that color as well.
