    It wears the various shades of gray very well. I loathe the dark wheels and I don't understand the obsession with the SF wing shields.

    I loath dark wheels too (actually I loath anything else other than the classic silver rims). But I love the SF shields. :)

    Agree. I test drove one in GS, which was very nice. Spyros has posted some in Grigio Titanio, which looks fabulous.
    I agree on the shields - they are a tad too much for me, but I think for many the prevailing wisdom is that they are needed for resale.

    Thanks Tom. The lines of the car look fantastic in GT.

    IMHO GT suites long-nose V12’s better than 8’s.....

    Which Grigio would you spec for a Porto? (if you were going to chose one).
    Last time we were in Vegas, we looked @ some of the F-cars @ the local dealer to get an idea of color in the flesh. The wife did not like Argento Nurburgring; she thought it too light (it was AN on a Cali T), which surprised me.

    Would love to see a Porto in the newest variants of Grigio Ingrid and Avorio (Come on Spyros, I'm counting on you! :))...T

    I agree that the car looks great in shades of gray but also thought that AN was too light and since I'm not a fan of the green undertones in Grigio Silverstone I went with Grigio Titanio. GT is one of those colors that really changes in depth depending on the light...I actually prefer it out of direct sunlight and at night. I toyed with the idea of going with Grigio Ferro but did not feel the extra cost was worth it and my dealer had never seen a Porto in GF so he talked me out of it. My absolute favorite gray is Grigio Coburn (triple layer paint) but the 30k upcharge and extra 3-6 month wait was a non-starter.

    For the PF I would personally go with GS or CDF. The flat - grey - colours don’t do the car justice and neither do medium-light like GF and GT....

    True... just a Califonia with a different name. Just like the GT4Lusso, which is an FF with a different name.

    Not trolling, just stating facts. :)

    Jakuzzi's argument is ridiculous. Following this logic, the 488 is really just a 458, the 812 is just an F12, and the LaFerrari is really an Enzo.

    In the age of Alternative Facts, Jakuzzi fits right in.
