    As a fellow no Nero interior guy, I would think traditional beige would look great with it! I have a RC/Cuoio car, and I think I would have liked traditional beige a bit more. Goes better with reds IMHO.

    You could add an element of sportiness by using alcantara. Testa di Moro semi aniline leather on dash, upper section, steering wheel, seat stripe/inserts and door inserts. Then use cuoio alcantara everywhere else. Finish off with Testa di Moro alcantara carpet.

    By using TdM you avoid the hardness of the black, but retain a colour that is very dark and on a surface which is very nice oñ both touch and looks. The alcantara will then dial back the GT softness a bit. The cuoio alcantara also have a slightly cooler hue than the leather, and thus it lends itself well to the exterior colour changes of Fuoco.

    I never did understand the black or red stripes on daytona seats, but have seen beige seats with cuoio stripes that I thought was an interesting contrast. Then there's this which appears to be three different shades of brown....

    I just sold a Rossa Fuoco F8 with a grey and red interior. I have a great Video of it on my phone. If you PM me your cell phone number I will text it to you.

    In that case, I'd recommend doing the interior in the Semi Aniline leather in Cuoio Toscana. It's a Cuoio that works really well with the lush reds such as Fuoco, Maranello and the like. Aside from being a nicer leather than standard it offers two additional features. The surface of this leather reflects less on the dash and the grip on the seats is better. Aside from that the seating comfort increases slightly.

    Beige Tradizione. Great classic look. You won’t get tired of looking at it. Sometimes I think you can over design an interior and it gets too busy. I love my beige interior with contrasting stitching. Gives it some pop. You can also opt to get the center stripe on your seats. I wish I had done that. IMO that is Just the right amount of interest and contrast.

    Be careful about beige tradizione against red. With some reds, it can look very orange.

    Wouldn’t recommend Crema. Sabbia is a beautiful color. Not sure with red though. I almost picked that with blue. My issue with Crema has to do with what I have heard and read about with resale.

    The neat thing by staying with cuoio Toscana for example is that you can get it on the dash. This means you don't have to go two tone. However if you do beige, sabbia or crema, you are stuck with two tone for the dash.

    For many, the latter two become very bright and somewhat feminine on a Spider.

    Cuoio Toscana is cool because it slots in between beige tradizione and cuoio. Give it some thought.

    That to some a red open Ferrari with a cream interior looks feminine.

    Sorry, thought you were referring to a two-tone interior as being 'feminine'
    Just need clarification.:cool:
