    My guess is that the livery is aftermarket wrap

    That is a very reasonable supposition. I like it!

    As I've seen the car with my own eyes I would say it was wrapped.

    Stay tuned for the full blown review after official run in but so far can I say it's a blast. Ok.. now I know you are going to ask is it Gt2 good and I have to report yes.. Is it better? Well to be fair both are very compelling in their own individual right each having their own very exciting characteristics. Is is it faster? Also a little hard to say at this stage not redlining it, but it's unquestionably packing some serious punch - and I mean very - and every bit of the Gt2.

    Sound impressions have improved/stabilized since my maiden voyage - am now finding it very pleasing to the ear particularly under general throttle load and heading toward the 5k rpm marker where it's its begging to be continued to 8. Mid corner grip is very solid but the controls do require very smooth input from the driver more-so than the 2. I think in the area of modulation the P car still holds the edge there on all elements of the controls not discounting the car in any way other than the driver needs to exercise smooth (finesse).

    Just came back from a curvy run this arvo and I'm really stoked with the general feel of the car overall. Am also having a little mod done this week which will hopefully prove very worthwhile for many Pista owners to follow....more to come on that.

    Stunning color! Why isn’t this color more popular? Is it cost? Or is the idea of painting a Ferrari purple basically automotive blasphemy to the majority of owners?

    Good point....probably seen as “un-Ferrari” and Lamboish.

    Not really. It looks relatively tastefully done - not garish being a darkish color. I would refer the look as being unique yet striking under certain light.

    I also think with Pista it is appropriate that it look crazier than what a regular 488 would be able to get away with. Pista is a crazy car!

    Stunning, as with all colours, even in Giallo Lady Gaga. :D

    Btw there's also an 812 Superfast in Viola Hong Kong.

    Good question! Should look fine even though I'm personally not convinced with the SF90 design as being a winner for Ferrari. So far, from the colors I've seen the best color for SF90 has been GS so anything dark is likely to prove a step in the right direction. So yes this color would certainly be a viable option as it is quite special in its own way and could only help with the polarizing design situation.
