    The Rosso Corsa is a great color though I am not sure it works on the F12. Ferrari seems to feature the darker Rosso Berlinetta red.
    I think white looks great as an alternative for the F12 especially in a warm climate...
    Black interior is very serviceable and doesn't show marks. Personally I like TdF Blue but you need to get a color you can live with!
    Any indication yet as to when your F12 would be built?

    Excellent choices! Love the red and black. CF driving zone with LED's is the way to go.

    I have sat in the standard seats and IMO, they are really attractive.

    How is the lumbar support in standard seats?
    Heard conflicting opinions so far.

    Because my 458 was rosso corsa with beige interior, and rosso carpets. I want to change since I was cleaning the leather every weekend. It will be delivered in December 2013.

    The FF works great with Rosso Corsa and with most other colours. I would't say Rosso Berlinetta is one of the darker reds though - it's a very special red which is expensive, but also great. I also like Rosso Scuderia on the FF.

    Congrats, it's a great and a very versatile car, a beast which can also be a very user-friendly daily driver!

    I'm not a fan of Rosso Corsa in the typical "flat-looking" 458 and its predecessors maybe because they look too "common", but in this car it works just great, maybe because the shape is not so typical for a Ferrari...? I have seen this car also in metallic red (probably Rosso Maranello) and it didn't look as good as Rosso Corsa imo - I was a bit surprised myself!

    I think it will look great . I have a 550 rosso corsa with black interior and red stitching and I like it a lot my california and dino both have beige or tan interior .. only suggestion is it might look good with daytona seats with red slats. I hope to order an f12 in a year or so when my turn comes and of course like many others I have been playing and I ...
    also might consider the backup camera. I like that on my new California etc..... best of luck do you have a delivery time frame.........

    100% agree. The grigio wheels are a must with a RC though.

    For a strange reason, the F12 is the first modern Ferrari which I like in yellow. Did not like any Ferrari in yellow since the 512bb.

    I only rode in it about 20 minutes. I didn't have any problems but I generally don't have back issues.

    To me, it was just like the 458 standard seat with just a different sewing pattern. However, it looks quite nice as a design.

    Thanks for the nice 458 image! The red dash is a unique feature.
    I see LasseH provided a good view of the F12 in Rosso Corsa. I would get the sport sills on the outside below the door in black rather than the red shown in his picture. It gives a nice contrast and defines the lower part of the body. Personally I think it is one of the more interesting 'design features' on the F12. Unfortunately it just blends in too much when painted the same red as the body of the car. You mentioned about red carpet in the 458 would you go red carpet again with the black interior? The black Daytona seats with red inserts also make a nice contrast. I have also seen the insert for the inside door panel done in red alcantara as well. Lots of time yet before December!

    That answers for me.
    Standard seat in my first 458 was terrible on my back almost immediately and sport seats fixed the problem.
    I expect similar situation with the F12.

    Thanks for ur comment and I want my interior to be black because the weather is soo dusty, and humid in summer. Also, I used to drive my 458 on daily basis even if the temperature rise to 60C (140F).

    Hmmm. I see. There is a problem. Go to Ferrari Life (google it), than on "Ferrari Owner" => Current V12: ... and than click on the thread "Finally, my F12 has arrived".
