    Red was a no brainer for my ferrari. But I had a serious dilemma between red/yellow for my porsche. I finally went with red on the porsche too. I am always seriously tempted by yellow though. My next porsche has a high likelihood of being yellow. Any thing other than red/yellow/orange is not my cup of tea for a sports car.

    All the other colors option list I have reserved for my 2027 Bentley.

    Looked at cars I could find in red, and may pictures in red, but I was looking at Mugello because I had two Rosso Corsa 360's and a Corsa 458. After enough checking cars and pictures I went for Rosso Fiorano on my 2nd 458 coupe with Cuio interior. Turned out, at least in my opinion, to be a stunning combination. Being a Ferrari Historical color though the price was stunning as well, but I didn't know how much until after the fact, so if you pick an Historical color be aware it "ain't" cheap.

    Very nice!

    I used the on-line configuator to visualize a few different interior color combos. I'm liking the nero interior with a touch of red alcantara / leather in a few spots. Racing seats. White stitching.

    I bought pre-owned. I could find 4 spiders at dealers on the internet. A white/black on the east coast, a white/black in Seattle, a Rosso Dino in Beverly Hills and my Rosso Corsa/beige in Scottsdale.

    Did not want black seats as my two previous Fcars had black seats and I wanted beige or tan. Orange cars are not for me. All were asking $390k so it was an easy decision. FoS gave me a great deal and were fantastic to work with.

    I would do it again.

    Best

    I love Ferraris in red, white, and yellow. My particular 458 is done in yellow, now called Giallo Modena, but it is also often referred to as "Fly Yellow" by old time Ferraristas. It turns out that it has nothing to do with flies, being named after the FLY studio in Modena, which was established by one Giacomo Caliri Giacomo Caliri - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia My guess is that the association with flies was not a good one, so we have Giallo Modena. The good news is that the color of the flag of Modena is blue and yellow so we can forget about flies. Modena (Emilia-Romagna, Italy)
