GTC4Lusso CF Paddle Shifters - No Slots

I’d get the carbonio extended carbon one instead.

 

The only long paddle option from Ferrari is the Aftermarket Genuine Accessories part that has the T-Shaped slots. All of the other carbon or metal options that were originally fitted are considerably shorter than the Aftermarket option.

When we set out to design our paddles for the Lusso the idea was to maintain the OEM shape but extended to the length used in the Challenge race cars. This gives you a clean OEM look with the functionality of the longer paddles. Our biggest challenge with the paddles is getting people to try them. The moment they do the first comment is 'why did I not do this sooner'. Our carbon is identical to OEM Ferrari (we actually source our carbon cloth from the same supplier Ferrari uses) and if you were not told, you would think the parts came from Ferrari. We do however not add the Ferrari tax so the pricing is considerably less than what Ferrari would charge.

Feel free to search around F-Chat for testimonials. We have lots of happy customers here and would welcome your patronage any time.

I did not have them on my lusso, but I tried one on my friend’s sold lusso. It’s literally same feel and quality finish as my speciale paddle. It’s much cheaper than Ferrari Genuine parts

 

Any Black Friday discounts for FChat users?

 

Cool, how much if you don’t mind me asking? Do they supply a tool to remove the oem ones?

Not on a Lusso, but I have the Carbonio paddles on my 488 and they are really a nice and convenient enhancement.
The standard Ferrari design is kind of stupid IMHO - with the paddles extended only to the top, it means that with your hands moving with the wheel when turning, you can only upshift when going left and only downshift when going right...

 

This is correct. When Ferrari launched paddle shifting in the 355 the paddles were tiny and ensured that drivers had their hands in the 3 & 9 positions. This was done primarily for safety and liability reasons because the technology was new and they wanted to minimize risk to the driver by shifting in the corners. Over the years as the electronics have gotten better and the market as a whole has gotten more used to having paddle shifters, the paddles have grown in size to make them more practical to use for the driver. Cars like the Pista have very large paddles available from Ferrari but the other models still suffer from shorter paddles which is where our solution comes in

 

Thanks for the feedback - will obtain some ASAP.

Great to hear you are happy with the paddles and thank you for the positive review. We keep it low key with the packaging because they are never in a retail space. Paddles are either sent to dealers who install them or shipped direct to customers and plain packaging avoids any theft during transit. The real benefit comes in the driving where the extended reach just makes shifting so much easier and more convenient. Enjoy the drive

 

I like stupid simple!
