About to order an 812...

Rosso 70th Anni - exterior colour

 

Congrats - we're waiting for pictures of your car

 

Get the passenger screen, it has much better display than the one in F12. It has more info than just your driving now. Plus, if you dont like it you can always turn it off.

 

Color choices are always subjective so I hesitate to comment...but...your car is red and you’re doing yellow Daytona inserts with yellow stitching?

 

Leather rear parcel shelf (SHF3). Standard finish is carpet (functional and little risk of damaging carpet, but leather rear shelf is freat lux feel and reminds me of the classic models).

And if you do that, leather headliner too. Standard is alcantara. Nice, but you end up with a number of different materials if you keep standard interior. If you keep all any headliner consider also specifying Roof upperzone in alcantara for consistency.

All personal of course - just get what you will like / enjoy most.

 

Your spec is pretty close to what I had in my F12. You will definitely enjoy the color combo.

Personally I'm glad I got the hi-fi, although I don't use it a ton it's nice to have the good one when you want to crank it up.

If you use an apple phone I definitely would get the car play. It brings the electronics up to a more modern level.

The luggage is amazing if you travel with the car.

 

Can you list a summary of the additional features over the F12 display? or direct me to where that info can be found?

I am opting out of the display (~$7k) on my 812 since I think the display in my F12 is not a big deal

 

Here is a quick video of the passenger display screen in a GTC4Lusso which will be similar to the what is available on the 812 Superfast. IT is much improved over the display offered on the F12.

 

Mandatory!

 

That is 7 grand ? I see someone using it half a dozen times then the thrill is gone.
A grand a pop.
Plus something else to fail.
Nah.

PS I'd spec it with as little carbon fiber bits as possible. I dont like the cheesy CF stuff in my GT2.
Comparing 599 interiors, which is my budget, I actually much prefer the leather dash, doors and such.
Yes Carbon fiber in a F40 or Scuderia etc "street racer" / track car but the 812 is not that IMO.

 

Good for your wife !
Lord knows what the luggage would cost.
Plus you'd never use it.
Or it would "wreck" it getting scuffed and all.

 

The luggage for the shelf back and the rear trolleys was $15k on my car. YMMV.

The Apple Carplay stuff is a level of integration beyond bluetooth. You can basically use elements of your phone on the dash. It works well I'm glad I got it even though it's another mini-fortune.

 

Hello all,
today i was specing my 812.
Grigio silverstone, Racing seats , Interior charcoal in Alcantara, upper dash in black, Inside Carbon except the middel tunnel, and autside no carbon. And certain other goodies
Apple car play is imho waste of money. Dealer told me it´s not worth it. Beside I want to listen to the engine.
What is quite disturbing to me is the price for extra´s in the US. Europe is for sure cheaper.
Ask the dealer if a friend could order a 812 and what time to delivery. He told me, he can take no more orders. They are working of the signed contracts.
Furthermore he is quite sure that will be the last N/A V12.
Hope so.
Delivery is March April 2020

 

I dunno I've really enjoyed Carplay so far. If you use your iphone it's worth it. If not then probably not.

For those wondering about the luggage here is a pic of one of my rear parcel shelves for my 812. You can order these or the trolleys for the back, or both. We do plan on using this luggage to travel in the car for club events etc.

I completely,agree on apple CarPlay - it is expensive but I use it all the time and it is much better than Bluetooth. Spotify works seamlessly, if I need nav then it is always easier using the iPhone to search for destinations before I even get in the car, Siri works well for messages and calls which, even when I’m driving Ferraris I still need to sort out.

Also, did I see the carbon wheel with the shift lights in your spec? That’s number 1 on the list for me. If you don’t like interior carbon you can have the wheel covered in leather which I have done.

 

Not really, the N/A V12 will live on.

 

That's the first wish I have read on this forum for the end of the N/A V12. I hope it lives on (as, I think, do most who love this kind of engineering for itself). Would be a huge loss to see such an engineering marvel disappear from manufacture / further development.
