    Definitely my favorite color. Did they confirm when customer cars would land in the US?

    Very nice. I like your rims better. Are they FORGED DIAMOND RIMS RSFD? The one last night had a lot of exterior carbon fiber that I didn't really like. I can't quite tell from your picture, is your door sill black? I prefer that to the carbon fiber or body color.

    Thanks,

    Rob

    Best guess seems to be about six months. With plenty of caveats about slowdowns, etc.

    Thanks Rob. It's nice to start seeing videos of the M showing up in the wild. Like this high quality walkaround from a Japanese launch event. Crazy that this customer ordered his car in May of 2018 and still hasn't received it. On a positive note, he'll end up getting a significantly improved version:

    Fast forward to the 6:40 mark to see the car. I'm really digging the front end of the re-design. I also like the more aggressive wheels, though I think they'd look better in a hyper silver finish rather than than the two tone diamond look all of the cars have shown so far.

    You would have to pay me to drive most brown Ferraris, but that is an exception.

    I didn't know Captain America was a member here.

    Nice ride, Mr. Wilson.

    That's a pretty good review, I like this car more every time I see it. Can anyone with a Portofino / Roma give an explanation on the steering wheel LED lights? On my 458 Spider it's pretty simple, five red lights: 'When 5500 RPM is reached, the first LED comes on; the others come on in sequence when 6,250, 7,000, 7,750 and 8,920 RPM are reached." I watch the reviews of the Portofino M and I see about seven red LED lights and then a couple of blue lights (below) on the steering wheel. I have not successfully found a breakdown on the RPM significance of each of the lights.

    The Portofino manual just says: "Engine RPM LED on steering wheel (optional) The five LEDs on the steering wheel rim (available on request) illuminate in sequence to notify the driver of the maximum engine speed for shifting up." I have not found a Roma or Portofino M manual.

    Thanks,

    Rob
