    Lots to glean from this video, including views of the car that I think are better than most of the stills. This has been posted on a couple of threads but not emphasized much:

    You also get at least some idea of the exhaust note.

    It looks like a number of options will still be available, as you might expect:

    * Carbon fiber door inserts
    * Carbon wheel (?) with LED's (?)
    * Daytona seats
    * Some kind of racing seat (?)
    * Carbon dash board inserts
    * Yellow tach
    * Carbon fiber center bridge
    * The luggage set of course :)

    Anything else in particular to notice?

    Renderings made this car appear prettier than it is.

    Did anybody notice nobody stopped at that STOP sign. So an octagonal shaped red sign that says "STOP" actually means GO in Italy.

    Thought my 360 spider with Tubi sounds better than an F430...and 458 spider sounds better than all of them.

    Best

    The silver 488 has yellow calipers.

    What color calipers does the red 488 have? Black?

    BTW to me the 488 looks better in silver. The red just does not work as well IMVHO.

    The front teeth are not so pronounced and the side ducts integrate better on the silver.

    My 3 Fcars have all been Rosso Corsa. This is the first model I would seriously consider getting silver.

    I agree for once I prefer the silver ( it looks matte to me) over the red. As you can tell from my handle I've always ordered RC..

    I think the 360 and 430 both sound great. One not better than the other, just different. The 360 with its manic howl, the 430 with its more serious growl. If I were buying on sound alone I'd have a hard time picking between those two.
