    Goal for this thread is to welcome the reiteration of similar choices among members to gauge popularity
    My wish list is as follows 1) Photochromic glass besides windshield
    2) Google maps navigation and free Apple/Android interface
    3) Laser headlights
    4) Sunroof (Photochromic)
    5) Calipers that match the body color

    Heads up display. They should have had this for years. Being able to see your RPMS and what gear you are in without taking your eyes off the track only makes sense. Hell, I think all cars should have it.

    The best option Ferrari could offer is to let ANYONE buy a new one instead of the current situation that's in place.

    Like this if you agree.

    Our Audis backup cameras show you where you will go as you turn the wheel. Makes it real easy to back up into the garage. Newer Fcars may have this but my 458 spider does not.

    It would be nice if you could open and close the baffles on the exhaust like my Porsche and Audis do without having to install an aftermarket system.

    I believe this was addressed by the head office re F8 and onward sales being targeted for ~30% new buyers
    Can’t recall the precise quote
    Buying a “new one” should be as easy as buying new one.
    Buying a new “limited but un-numbered”? (eg 812 spider, F8 VS(?)) Games will likely persist.

    A "self destruct" feature for people who buy them only to pose and never track/drive hard. :)

    Heads up display should have been a thing a long long time ago.
    Triple turn signal
    4 point harness.
    otherwise they pretty much offer everything I would want.

    Im kind of shocked they haven't offered more of a "aero kit" from the factory... for huge money

    Car shrinker so we don't need to buy a car that a 6 foot 5, 400+ pound man has to fit into.

    What a out the cars being so low to the ground. I know —- aerodynamic, downforce, etc—- but the scraping over speed bumps and in the driveway is worse.

    Yes. Not a must have option. Have on my Audi and Porsche and really like it.

    Understand you can get this on an FF. So it’s not a total fantasy.

    At least on the basic V8 middle-engined model will be enough. :)

    Also actually they need to start thinking about the front number plate place, as we don't all live in the USA.

    I consider the LED steering wheel a HUD of sorts. Knowing the approximate RPM helps with gear changes, and knowing what gear you're in is somewhat negated.

    How about petitioning your Gov't that the front plate is a silly wasteful concept ?
    Plus there's numerous front plate designs and sizes throughout the world So it
    would be impossible for Ferrari to address them all in one design effort - IMO
