    I have a factory confirmed Pista Spider ordered that was supposed to be produced months ago. I’m wondering if there are many others in the same position.

    Green 10 pista, so I guess not quite confirmed.
    More like limbo.

    Have you shared your spec images? Would love to see if you feel comfortable posting them. Understandable if you'd prefer not to post, however.
    Cheers

    Pista coupe due for delivery in April to the uk....who knows when now!
    Will Ferrari deliver all cars or end production of the Pistas early when normality resumes?

    Further to this thread was also just told that the opening of the factory will be delayed till May 3rd. Glad I have the cars I do for the spring summer, driving is one of the few normal breaks you get these days.

    That’s a great looking spec.
    Definitely worth the wait.

    Thanks lots of little details that are hard to see in the renderings but my favourite of them is the vent inlets match the exterior colour of the car and then shift paddles have red on them. The seats an F40 throwback in "racing red jeans" material with the new Ferrari square pattern. The sidewalls of the interior are an upgraded "super fabric" that has a cool shine and very very durable. Anyhow very excited to finally see it in person.. its been a wait that I am sure will well worth it.

    I am concerned that some of the 488 safety and pollution homologation may expire by the time the factory can produce all the confirmed orders. This is really a concern in the markets that require GPF exhaust by a date certain to be legal. I also worry about bumper and other safety standards that are constantly being changed for new model years.
    It would be interesting to know when Pista and Pista Spiders were supposed to be completed before the Covid 19 reared it’s head? Will Ferrari continue to produce the Pista until all confirmed orders are complete? Or will regulations prevent orders for certain jurisdictions to be canceled?

    Good questions but I am assuming that Euro has a lot bigger issues then enforcing emissions regulations - probably lots of delays and exemptions to come. The economic and psychological carnage that has devastated Europe/World will probably be their first priorities.. life as we know it will probably never be the same again (immunity passports, social spacing at work places and sports). I think the luxury world will take about 1-2 years to fully recover and then we will most likely see some of these regulations bubbling back up. Trump already rolled back some of the emissions standards that were in place. On a side note, my Portofino was a 2020 and had no GPF on it.. sounds amazing btw. Last pic I wanted to share..

    Agreed a lot more important issues than emission regulation. The problem is that the regulations already exist, will the government’s have the bandwidth to issue exemptions?

    I’ve followed your car footsteps a bit. Cali FF etc

    Is this Argento? My next is going to be.

    I love your specs on this Pista. The interior is to die for. I am always in awe of the choices and variety that is available and the way it works when assembled.

    2years? That’s old school waiting.

    My god what a spec. Love those seats! Are they a TM tribute to historic seats? I’ve seen pictures of them before, but never actually in a car! Congrats and enjoy when it’s delivered!

    Hey Scott, its called Grigio Squalo (shark grey)...! The only problem with the waiting is I keep buying other stuff in-between, its been fun but the wallet is hurting now. Here is a pic of the GSqualo on an 812 real example of the car. I am hoping it looks good on the Pista with the contrast of colours ...

    Yes thank you, they are F40 throwback seats from what I understood when making that choice. I am not sure if they are totally TM (special request?) but I believe that might be the case as the material is not in standard pallet from what I know.

    Now that we are getting close to July do you think the remaining Pistas and Pista Spiders will be a 2021 model year? What is the cut off date for the model year change?

    Seems like quite a few still to be manufactured, I know of four besides my Spider.

    I thought August was the cut off date for model year change.

    Do you mean four Spiders besides yours at your dealer? Or four Spiders among all dealers?

    There are three undelivered Spiders at my dealer.
