    I'm thorn with blue to get for the 296. I could do the normal TDF blue. Any opinions on swaters, scozia, pozzi?

    Extra-Campionario Blu

    But I think would require Tailor Made- Not listed as standard color-

    FoD has a F8 Spider in this color- would look sick on a 296 IMHO-

    I love TDF blue but having played with the configurator I think I would go for Pozzi.
    The flat darker blue gives the car the feel of a 60's sports racer IMHO.

    I may be mistaken, but “Extra Campionario” simple means it’s an option that’s sampled outside of the standard colors. “Blu” just means it was a blue color. If you see the car again, try to look under the hood / frunk for the yellow sticker that indicates the actual name of the paint

    Again, I could be wrong here, in which case nevermind my comments!

    You could certainly be correct- however it is listed on the window sticker as such and appears to be an actual Ferrari color option- Albeit not "standard" - I will probably be down there later today and will snap some pics of the paint sticker- Cheers :cool:

    "Bespoking a car is not a new concept, in fact most cars were finished with personal options back in the day, but this unique Extra-Campionario Blu Ghibli Cup 599 GTO is the finest example of how to use the Ferrari ‘Tailor Made’ customisation programme"

    I've seen a 488 and now the F8 at FoD in this color and snapped a pic of the window sticker of the 488 a long time ago so I would remember it- but can't find it- Will check the paint code sticker on the F8 and revert, Cheers :cool:

    So you sir are 100% spot on correct- I was not able to get down to FoD today but spoke with my guy there- As you accurately stated the "Extra-Campionario Blu" simply denotes that the spec/order requested an available/additional cost, non-standard color- But does not require Tailor Made. In the case of the F8 the color was Blu Corsa which is breathtaking-

    To the OP- Doing some quick checks it does not look like Blu Corsa is an available color for the 296- Of the choices I see I personally would either go with TdF which is (amazingly) a $0-cost option or Abu Dhabi which I think would be mind-blowing on a 296 and I believe is about a $12-15K option- Cheers :cool::p

    Awesome- The list I posted was from Continental Autosports early on so not surprising some got added- Blu Corsa is just sick and the heart-stoppingly gorgeous 296 will wear it well :cool::cool:

    Too many great colors, I’m personally all over the place, might just do Rosso Corsa and keep it simple. For some reason it just looks right! I’m getting a gts as well, so looking at bianco cervino.

    Did the 296 test drive at Donington yesterday so lots of colours there to look at.
    Rosso Imola looks good but my favourite was TDF Blue (My 812 is TDF so I am a bit biased).
    The particular car was Asseto Fiorano and had the silver livery (not as bad as I feared).
    I would spec without stripe even if AF but IMHO blue certainly suits the car.

    Oddly Azzurro CA - my longtime favorite - was not on the dealer configurator, but Celeste Metalizzato was. So my order is in Celeste. But CA is on the public configurator and not Celeste!

    Crazy! Yeah I think (and you verify) that there are some discrepancies and as mentioned the list I posted was an early list on Continental Autosports Website so probably changed once things go rolling - I am sure Celeste will look flippin amazing on your 296!!!

    TDF is no longer a no cost option in UK.
    Pozzi is the only zero cost blue for the 296.
    No idea if this is true in other countries.

    I wonder how it would look in Blu Abu Dhabi? Or Blu NART?
