    Hello,
    I’ve spent several months searching all the threads on the GTC4Lusso as it may be my first Ferrari. Tons of useful information - thanks to everyone for being so communicative. That said, I think there are several “must have’ options I’m considering but can’t find any more information on them. I’m hoping some of the owners/veterans may know the answers and would be willing to share. 1) is there any difference between the Dual View Front Parking Camera and the Advanced Driving Camera and if so, what? 2) How high does the Suspension Lifter actually raise the car? 3) Does the Ventilated Full Electric Seat provide any incremental height from the “regular” seat - I’m short so any additional height would be a plus. I know there are tons of other options that I may consider but I’m just trying to decide if in fact my “must haves” are actually deal breakers for me or not. Thank you all very much.
    Chris

    Dual View is just 2 cameras. Front and back. Advanced Driving Camera is the system that (I believe) is part of the ADAC and can read the speed signs for you??
    The suspension lifter raises the car by 4cm (all 4 corners).
    The ventilated electric seats do not add any height to the seats.

    Like 350 mentioned, they are different. AFM reads road signs and gives you the info on the top of the left hand screen. Speed signs are the common ones, but also do not pass. I have it on my 812 (not sure if it was standard or not), I enjoy the feature. It's usually pretty quick to pick up speed signs, and it's nice to get that quick "what's the speed limit here again" question answered. Wouldn't consider it a must have though.

    Thanks very much. The higher seating position was a pipe dream at best. Not needing two of the three opens up some options for me.

    Lifter is really nice to have. The hi-fi is really good in the car if that matters to you.

    Lifter is pretty useful for me. The only soundtrack I really use is the V12. I have a 17 with no cameras so can’t comment.

    I will say I wasn’t overly impressed with the stock exhaust but YMMV. Aftermarket went on pretty quick.

    I had the lifter in my 458. Very very rarely used or needed it. Do not have it in my Lusso and don’t miss it. I also was told that the advanced camera gives you a bird’s eye view of the car so you see the front end as you pull into a curb

    I have lifter on my FF. I don’t need it most of the time but on a recent holiday, it was absolutely necessary and I would have been in big trouble without it. It’s one of those options which you won’t miss most of the time but when the occasion arises, you’ll be glad that you have it or curse the fact that you don’t.

    ventilated seats are really, really nice to have if you’re in a hot country or plan to visit hot places.

    Thanks for the reply’s. I’ve pretty much settled on only two “must haves” on the Lusso. The lifter, because the lip on my driveway has a very steep approach angle, and some type of front camera so I won’t bash into any bumper blocks when parking. I’ve done that a few times on my Panamera and the front is not nearly as long as the Lusso. So other than these things, its just a matter of finding a well sorted car in the right color at a decent price (considering the world we live in right now). I’m patient so in no huge rush. Seems like one or two pop up a month - maybe volume will pick up a bit in the spring. Thanks again!
