    +1. Close to Porsche Sapphire Blue, but the Porsche still isn't a Ferrari.

    Haha thats a great looking 991TT. Personally I love that shade of blue. Since I drove TT's as my DD for 8 years (03 996TT X50 and 07 997TT) I have a strong affinity for P cars. Although I doubt I'll get the allocation, I have a deposit on a 991GT3RS. Love my GTO BUT I truly miss my TT's. Hopefully the RS comes through.

    I find the combo deliciously "French Riviera"

    What exhaust is that ?

    Looks like a Tubi, but that's just a guess.

    You got it! That's the VIN. When we got it the dealer didnt know the exact name of the blue interior, but knew it was the medium color of the blue leathers.

    I have a 911 S that I recently was looking to trade in for another. There was a Sapphire Blue Turbo S with yellow calipers at the dealer. Thought it might be funny looking with two blue cars that match. The colors are very similar, but the Porsche's blue doesn't have the same color shifting as mirabeau.

    Awesome! I'm so glad I found out a bit more about the car. Hopefully hes still around on here, i want to find out the full details on the car and whats been done. There's something special with this one and it was kept in great shape. The exhaust is wonderful and the dealer didn't know exactly what was on there.

    Awesome, thanks for the confirmation. The original thread I mentioned is here.

    Dave (BIG_DJE) hasn't been active since October of last year, but maybe if you send him a PM, and his notifications are enabled, he'll come back and reply to your private message and/or this thread, additionally confirming that the interior color is indeed Carta de Zucchero.

    Yeah, but you can't drive them both at the same time, so you'd only have a "matching color" issue if someone saw them in your garage! I think it's totally cool to have two different cars the same or similar in color. After all, quite a number of people have more than one red Ferrari, at the same time. :)

    Shadowrwr- Wonderful! Love the color, congrats. The inside blue black door especially looks cool. I just bought my first F car last year too. A red 599. You could also post these pics under the 612/599 picture thread. Seaninhongkong. Happy driving.

    yep that was my car I spec it new myself from auto gallery

    I loved that car was a beast to drive and the exhaust was 2nd to none

    sadly that was my last F car I have owed. on my 3rd McLaren and getting my 2nd aventador roadster this week

    sadly even after getting so many F car I could not stand dealing with all the bullcrap from the dealer and gave up on getting F cars and simply love the whole experience from sales to service of McLaren

    Hi, Dave - welcome back to the forum, although I'm sad that you had disappointing experiences with Ferrari dealers to the point that you were driven away to another marque. But my understanding is that McLaren is making incredible cars these days, and I already have a soft spot for the Aventador ...so it sounds like you're in a good place.

    If you want, you can e-mail me ([email protected]) the pictures of the window sticker (and that matte black LaF), and I'll post them for you.

    Great looking 599! I love that shade of Blue. I saw a 430 spider In That color and it looked amazing! Congrats on your purchase.
