    Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere on FChat so apologies if this is old news. Just learned today that with each new order, Ferrari now offers this high quality presentation box as a gift containing a metal version of the model ordered and a glass key simile that you replace with the real key when you receive the car (if you want to). Box is very similar to those used when purchasing high end watches. Dealer is asking Ferrari what happens to those of us who have ordered a F car before this new scheme started-hoping I have not missed out because it really is a nice case to display (but I will keep my key in the safe).

    Is Ferrari still giving a scale model of the car you order?
    (This usually arrived a month or two after the actual car delivery.)

    Thats lovely! I also keep my keys in the safe when not in use. One suggestion, if feasible, would be to attach a replica of the build plaque they now affix to the cars- so this way you would know for sure which box went with which car and also you could have all the options etc sitting right there. Something to look at on those times you are not behind the wheel.

    That's super cool! I dont live in France, but this is where my car will be. At least I will have something to look at while I am abroad! And yes, having the build plaque replica is a great idea as well.

    I was told this does not replace the model car but it is clear given the delays many experience that Ferrari's model car maker (which I was told is just around the corner from the factory in Maranello) is struggling to keep up

    I think the supplier is MR Collection Models located in Gerenzano, close to Milan - and yes they're probably struggling to keep up, I got my model about 10 months after my car.

    Interesting. Last year I was interviewed by designers appointed by Ferrari who were looking at redesigning the key. Part of that was to look at where I kept my keys. I am wondering if this is the first result of that programme?

    It’s fascinating how soft Ferrari seems to be with suppliers. On models, you just sign a Service Level Agrt that the model must be done say 4 weeks after build. Do you want the business or not ? I have had up to a years wait, must be amazing to do stuff when you get round to it, suspect most clients of F work in a mor cut throat world.

    Same with some EC items, like huge delays for semi aniline which features on thousands of sofas.

    I can confirm that this box is also coming to America.
    I delivered a yellow 488 GTS last week and the box came in a few days before the car actually made it to our dealership.
    Both the client and I were surprised! :)

    Curious if it is then only for the 488. Or at least just starting for the keyless go Ferraris.

    Nice touch. Drop $350K and get a wooden box. Seems like a deal to me!

    How about they keep the box and fix their terrible orange peel problem? :)

    You have a little black box with a model of your car in it? Hehehehe, just joking.

    I think the box is a great idea, I liked the photos they give us in a little folder showing our cars being built. Shhhh, but I still have a couple of them from a 430 Spyder and 599 fiorano......

    I have seen pictures of these somewhere on the web, and it reminds me of a high-end Elie Bleu French cigar humidor I used to have. Even the hinges look very similar. Mine had a Bubinga wood exterior, decided to sell it in order to move to something larger.

    When they get this up and running, it might be a nice side business to offer this to existing owners. What would you pay for such an item?
