    I'm just about to close the spec of my Nero Daytona Lusso.

    Currently the interior is Sabbia with Black stitching (see pics below). I still have the possibility to change it and quite like Tortora although as it's a fairly new colour i haven't seen many cars in it. There are lots of videos of Lusso's with it in so i can assume Ferrari made a few press cars in its. I can best describe it as a mushroom colour. ie less beige and more grey than Sabbia.

    I have had Sabbia in Maseratis before and really like it but thought Tortora may be a bit more contemporary?

    I have to decide overnight so would appreciate any opinions please? Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I think against the Nero the Tortora would be a nice choice. Would be the more "modern" choice and thats from someone that got Sabbia on my TDF Blue CaliTHS.

    Cuoio has too much orange in it- too 'harsh' with the black.

    In the first pic the Tortora looks much like the 'Dove gray' in the old MBZ SLs; the leather wore horribly, and always looked dingy, even when freshly cleaned.

    The choice you've asked for opinion on is Sabbia or Tortora. Of the two, I concur with the votes for Sabbia and the notion that Tortora simply looks grubby against black. I think it would be fine in a blue/red/green car. But not in a black/grey/white car.

    But you've also posted a photo with Crema in the mix. Now, in the colonies, ;), Crema on black is a sin. But in the U.K., it's a rather classy and dare I say, classic combo.

    So I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest that if the car is black, Crema with black stitching and contrast panelling is the way to go.

    Thanks for all the feedback and comments. Of course no one is wrong.

    I have decided to go Tortora as I feel it is a more contemporary option that Sabbia and maybe a little less prone to marks.

    The only reason I was timid with the sabbia was that my kid's blue jean may tint the leather into blue.... Yes, it has happened!!

    Whats the exterior? I need to know the entire spec to really say. I like both choices a lot.
