    1) No carbon
    2) Standard seats, Daytona style, white or cuoio with black inserts (my preference)
    3) Not carbon interior. Piano Black preferably (example of Piano Black steering wheel in a Portofino)
    4) Black ceramic, unless you want to "break" the blackness of the rear part/diffuser, thus Standard or Titanium.
    5) Personally no, the amount Ferrari asks for Apple CarPlay is ridiculously expensive.
    6) Oh yes
    7) Yes
    8 and 9 are part of the ADAS. If you don't bother to have a square cut-out section of the front part for the radar (see here), go for it.

    Other must-have options:

    a) Painted shields
    b) Black center wheel hubs
    c) Titanium bolts
    d) Passenger Display
    e) LEDs on steering wheel wrapped in leather
    f) Bespoke 812 GTS luggage, when available

    Smh. I'm sure there is a collision failure joke here somewhere.

    I’d agree if it allowed the passenger to control the Apple CarPlay but otherwise not so useful in.our household.

    Personally my spec for the GTS will be something like this:

    Blu TDF with all exterior carbon fiber but with the tinted body color diffuser if available, I really don't like the carbon fiber diffuser on the 812.
    I like the idea like in this picture of the combination with racing seats and bordaux alcantara.

    I will loooove to have painted shields on this one and probably the interior carbon will be just the driver zone this time.

    Of course passenger display, I really love it, and unfortunately lifter for me is a must pick option since I can't get inside my garage otherwise :D

    PS in the configurator looks like there are still the old mirrors, there isn't anymore the carbon fiber option for the new ones.

    The Carplay control is an issue, but then again, I can't think of any manufacture who has integrated the Carplay as poorly as Ferrari to be honest, and that's not just with the passenger display. But disregarding the Carplay, for the "normal" functions and ability for passenger to use satnav etc. especially in a car where there's no center screen, it's a great thing. And when I'm in a passenger seat with a display, I definitely think it adds to the experience.

    I think whether or not it's a must depends on the usage. If the driver is alone in the car 95% of the time and never bring passengers with an interest, yes, then it's of little use. If you often bring a friend or relative who is also into the whole thing, and switch between driving and riding along etc. then there's a lot of fun to be had with it actually.

    Since it’s a GT I would likely keep regular seats.
    Exhaust, unless you plan to go aftermarket I’d keep sports options, if not basic and upgrade.
    I like the look of CF mirror with red or black car.
    I love apple CarPlay.
    CF wheels

    Sadly I can’t afford one just yet;)

    I have done a couple of F12's and 812 SF, here's my take.

    1. Exterior, take everything or nothing;
    2. Standard. (Racing seats for resale)
    3. Interior, yes for sure, I find that without CF looks poor and aging badly. Check out the none cf interior in the current F12 used market. I wouldn't consider them if i was in the market for one unless the budget limits my choice.
    4. It's just the tips I'm assuming, choose the one goes well with the body color you go with.
    5. Yes
    6. Throw it in if you load the car up, leave it if it's a low optioned or standard car.
    7. Yes
    8. Same answer as Q6.
    9. Same answer as Q6

    Could it be a question of miscommunication? It says TDF Style, that's not the same as TDF wheels. They may share the design but not be the same wheel. Do the TDF and 812 even share the same offset?

    it’s one of those EC that they can’t tell you how long it adds.

    True.But leather wrapped LED steering wheel usually don't add a ton of time. I have seen everything from no time added to about 4 months. If you want a CF free interior for a classic feel, I don't see that as being a lot of time.

    For my 812sF build I ordered practically everything except these items , which I will include on my GTS:
    pass display
    carbon exterior
    vehicle lift

    best option I like that is usually not checked off - carbon fiber door handles.

    I added it on my car. I don't think it's must have but I liked it.

    I personally think it's great when you're in the passenger seat. These cars are all about the experiences, and the display adds something to the overall experience.

    It's interesting how popular it has become since the new display was introduced in the Lusso, 812 and Porto etc. I asked the local dealer about it, and he said that nobody specs a car without at this point. This also leads me to believe it might become a bit of a must at some point and a dealbreaker like the LED wheels etc. I think you did good by ordering it, and whom ever you bring along, will be further engaged in the fun:)

    I agree. I did the CF door handles on my 812SF and definitely love the look. They will be on my GTS as well.

    Trying to confirm my config but I have some concerns to include or not one of the following technical options
    it's not a matter of cost but mainly resale
    personally I don't think I will need it but if it will be possible to disable completely ADAS I guess that in some occasion can be useful

    so what is your opinion? specially from Owners are already have it on their cars. thanks

    FCAM - advanced front driving camera * 1,230€+vat
    ACC1 - front radar with ACC1 - 2,870€+vat
    BRAD - back radar - 1,640€+vat

    or ADAS - ADAS pack (includes all three above) - 4,600€+vat

    How much would ADAS package affect the appearance of the car?
    My dealer says it includes an ugly big box in the front of the car, hence most customers don't opt the full ADAS package. Does anyone have a picture how the box looks like?

    It looks so bad. Like a high school metal work project. It’s not even centered within the cut out of the grille.

    I cannot believe a company with the resources and engineering pedigree of Ferrari cannot integrate it better. Many low cost, humble cars have ADAS style systems and you barely notice from the exterior

    An epic fail. Needless to say, I didn’t spec this on my GTS

    Nor did I for that very reason. I ordered the front camera, back radar, and surround view.
