    Change interior to iroko or cioccolato alcantara, and I fully endorse this spec!

    Btw, has any pic of a Stradale been published in which the roof is the same as body color?

    No bicolor is optional,
    Just a matter of taste but for me the Laferrari and this one will look better with a single color .

    Doesn’t the spec plate show the bicolor roof as an option? I’m pretty sure it does. I wish I wasn’t so lazy or I would dig through the thread and find it.

    I under stand it optional Its just that the roof is constructed and designed in such a way it behooves one to order it in a different color

    (One) of the main design problems is the abandonment of their trademark headlight and tail light designs which up until now have made it very easy to distinguish the brand as a Ferrari. These "new look" head and tail lights have now made it VERY difficult to identify the car as a Ferrari. So much so the general design of the car has relegated the brand to where it could be easily mistaken as a Pontiac or Dodge from the front and, a Camaro from the rear. The rear end is such a massive overuse of elements from so many different cars it's difficult to comprehend what they were thinking, least of all trying to achieve. There is zero originality going on here - just the rehashing of previous design elements all thrown together resulting in an extremely fussy confused look - the Camaro tail lights being the icing on the cake.

    I recall when Porsche changed their headlights on the 996 to the fried egg look and they quickly learned it was a huge mistake.

    Brand recognition is a very important especially when parting with the level of dollars they are asking.

    I'm pretty sure this car will go down in history as the mistake that never should have been made. I've tried so hard trying to like it but the more I look at it the more I'm left shaking my head. I'm sure glad some like it but I must question whether it is just out of brand loyalty or, eccentricity.
    Like what's the story with that rear end with post box slot for rear view and all that other crazy bulbous bloating with a mass of frills!! It's added a whole new definition to the term cluster F.

    There are a lot of things to like and dislike about the SF90 IMO. But it is an engineering masterpiece. But and for me its the killer as I already knew from day one it was announced it has electrics.

    No go for me . I don't care how much faster it is and or design. Frankly the power of the 488GTB is enough for me or even better PISTA or F8.

    The car looks heavy like an Aventador and it is. Long gone are the days of a light Ferrari , replaced with batteries and electric motors :(

    Just my opinion. Hold on my 488 GTB until the last possible F8 order and keep it forever. Doing that and with the 15 year upgradeable Ferrari warrantee Ill be 70 YO. Hope im still driving then :)

    Just realized why Ferrari went with squared taillights
    They're trying to avoid clashing with the massive round
    exhaust pipes which are in very close proximity - right ?

    You’re not alone in your sentiments. I’ve talked to more than a handful of exotic owners who are saying that this”last round” of pure internal combustion engine exotics will be part of their “forever” stable. The sentiments are consistent across Ferrari, McLaren, Lambo and pcar owners.

    I put my deposit down today hoping for the first car to be delivered. They will go through customers with history first and then go for new customers.

    Yes it is dangerous to buy first year car. But will I keep it for many years? No. I will simply taste the car off and on the track hard for a year and then sell it.

    So, waiting is not an option for me.

    Also, as of now, I will order not AF but standard one. Will keep the price down as much possible with standard options and I like more cleaner look of standard car.

    Deposit was $50,000 but I am not in US.

    Are you going with black paint or the black roof with a different body color?

    Is everyone else seeing the smiley face from the two exhaust pipes and the red piece under the license plate? The front half of this car looks great and everything after the rear pillars is garbage. It just looks awful. More manipulation of the original 458 design. Beyond disappointing. Way too expensive for another evolution of an old design.

    Tail pipes too high. Doesn't look right. I do give them credit for the new dash and screen. Looks fantastic.

    Just noticed how much Ferrari emulated the rear of the McLaren P1. Especially on the diffuser and reflectors.

    To start on a positive note, the interior, in particular the controls, dash and seats are awesome. IMO, they have achieved a very elegant solution to a difficult problem - how to integrate numerous controls and switches into the cabin environment. Very impressed with the result.

    Unfortunately, the exterior doesn’t do it for me. Whilst I understand there’s a lot of aerodynamic treatment going on, the 458 Speciale and 488 Pista (and the standard 458) are much more elegant. As for the rear, well, I don’t know where to start..... simply put, to me, it’s awful. Too fussy, no elegance to it and the rear lights just aren’t up to Ferrari’s standards.

    I’m sure it’ll go like hell, it has tons of horsepower and I’m sure it’ll handle brilliantly but it’s not for me.

    I have a standard 458 and have no intention of selling it. It’s a beautifully designed car and has one of the best engines engines ever. Sure, the SF90 will be faster but there’s something very special about a high revving naturally aspirated engine.
