488 Spider...and now the wait begins

You will love it. Great spec.

 

Nice Spec!

Out of curiosity, what is the reason people equip Spiders with racing seats? One would think the full electric seats would be a better compliment... (one example is being able to drive with the top down in cooler temperatures, more comfort, etc.)

 

That's similar to the way I spec'd my 458 spider.

Be prepared for people to drool on the interior!

 

I just think they look better!

Great looking car op!

Congratulations! Great spec especially with the CF!

 

Very nice spec, similar to mine, but Black interior, I went with the race seats as well (expected Nov. delivery), I prefer the look, but have been reconsidering full electric which requires the standard seats. Not a lot of time remaining to change my mind.

Congrats! Looks great!

 

I had both (electric Daytona in the coupe, racing in the spider)

What surprised me is the racing seats were actually more comfortable. The only disadvantage is you have to move the seat manually no different than if it was the cheapest Kia. But, you do save the weight.

 

Of course you can change your order, all the way up to the date that Ferrari states "no more changes." Given your original post indicating a Q1 delivery, you should have several more months, at a minimum, to make changes. My build is in September, and I've made several changes over the past 3 months, and confirmed my final spec 2 days ago. I was also told a month early that my "no more changes" date was approaching and given the opportunity to make any last minute changes. Not sure why your dealer has you locked already, you might ask, maybe it's some internal policy to prevent extra work on their part.

Regarding the seats, the last change I made (last week) was adding Alcantara inserts in the Goldrake race seats.

Thanks, I agree and stayed with the race seats (Goldrake). I realized I never adjusted the full electric seats in my 458 after the initial setting, so the occasional manual adjustment is not a problem. (I also don't mind reducing the work load on the wonderful batteries we all seem to replace every couple of years. )

Congrats, the 2018 spider is awesome. I still haven't find the CD player if there is one. The location is different from 458

 

Interesting: be so kind to tell us where the dvd player is located if you foin that out.

 

Excellent!

 

If you chose it as a no cost option, it is in the glove box. If you don’t see it, you didn’t select when ordering.

 

Same spec as my 458 spider was. You'll find people go nuts when they see the interior.

You're lucky you're getting it so fast. And, just in time for Spring.

 

love your specs.....very similar to mine but I went with Cuoio or Peccary with more black (btw door panels will be cuoio or peccary, not like below pics)

congrats and enjoy!!

this is mine.... Q2 delivery but config will be finished in January after visiting Maranello
