    STUNNING! Congratulations!

    My kids love the passenger display, it could be better implemented, but they still love it.

    What a beauty! I didn't know you could get the pics without watermark as I got something from the auction as well, will email RM now. I guess for 10% buyers fee that should be fair... Congrats!

    Yes! Thanks, after buyer's fees, I think it still works out to be a good price!

    Thanks, I'm really excited about that too! It was more difficult than I expected to find a car optioned with CarPlay, Pano Roof, Passenger Display together in a color that I'd like. I'm really happy with the configuration.

    I took a shot at it! They seemed a little hesitant, and they didn't send me every photo. I think they are most concerned about improper use for resale/auction purposed. I got a disclaimer about the use of the photos for personal purposely only.

    Lovely spec, especially the stitching against the Terra Bruciata.

    I've been spoiled in the winters here in the NE having a heated steering wheel on my DD Pano Turbos over the years. Would gladly have traded for the Lusso had Ferrari offered this option. A deal killer for me! (we all have our quirks, don't we?):D

    Drive in good health always!!

    Incredibly beautiful. I think you are going to fall in love with the combination of it being one of the finest luxury cars out there, but also, very much a real Ferrari. Use the modes, comfort is great for general driving around, and sport is wonderful for really getting on it. I took a 100 mile round trip drive with some friends the other day in the rain, I kept it in wet mode the whole time, what a blast! The car is so so so well judged for all these circumstances.

    That is just stunning. Please post more pictures as this looks like the dream color combo for a Lusso ...and I thought my tdf Blue and Beige Lusso was the bomb

    Thanks everyone! Will post more when I get the car. Turns out buying an auction car is a real pain in the butt! It's been two weeks, and we're still going back and forth on trying to figure out how to get a temp tag. :(

    Hang in there! She’s an incredibly beautiful example and the pain will be worth it.

    Thanks for the words of encouragement! Had a pretty disappointing chat after expecting things would be potentially ready tomorrow, but I've recalibrated expectations!

    It's very cool, but yes it's entirely pointless. My kids played with it once.

    They're trying their best. Issue is actually the temporary operating permit (that little sticker that dealers put on the windshield when you drive a new car). I think we'll have a solution, but it won't be on the road for a little while.

    Congrats. The best colors. Nothing like finding the exact spec one wants. It’s the closet thing to ordering new.

    I recommend the protective wrap. I daily my Lusso and had it corrected, wrapped and ceramic on top. It’s Nero so like yours will show everything. And like the last time I responded sitting at Disney...makes the drive home more fun than the time here.

    More pictures and impressions once it makes it to you. Congrats.

    Drive it well.

    Thanks for the advice guys. It's going in for a full body wrap and some tint. If I don't get a temp permit by Thursday, it'll jump on a transport to the shop doing the wrap.

    My GTC4 has above 32000km at the moment, never had any issue, 2 kids in the back, it's my daily car, I plan to keep it for the next 10 years, I do have a Range Sport as well but I barely use it except when I need the trunk space, I can't recommend any car beside this one!
    Passager display, panoramic roof, cameras all aounrd, the only option I regret I didn't have have is the rev light on the wheel

    If you really really want it, I think you can get it done. It will just be expensive (no surprise).

    Hey, Im thinking about a V12 Lusso as well, whilst my kids are young. Kids are 4 and 1, so I still need 2 car seats in there. Anyone had 2 car seats in the back and can tell me what its like day to day?

    Works fine for my 1 year old twins but really setting them
    Up in and out is a pain. Specially the baby seats.

    Thanks! So I'm guessing its hard to fit a rear facing seat, so they both need to be forward facing. Does the car have isofix and proper boot mounts etc? ie: do you feel safe with your kids in the back? Whats it like lifting the kids in and out of the car. My 1yo is only just walking now, so won't be able to climb herself in and out.

    It has isofix.
    When I tried it was rear facing as they were little. Painful to do but works, clearly not a Honda odissey though. Forward facing works too but again it’s not extremely easy.
    When kids are in yes I feel safe.
