    Thank you, very helpful. Cuoio Toscana is really a beautiful color. I have for now chosen Beige Honolulu on a Purosangue spec but might switch over to Cuoio T. As you highlighted, the more leather you get the more the uncharge makes sense.
    Agree with your point on seat backs, I initially had specced racing seats on the GTS as on the GTB but switched to comfort for the same reason ie heated /ventilated seats/neck warmer. I have asked dealer to add BAC1 on my Sabia interior after seeing your pictures.
    Thanks again! Hope you get some sunny days before fall settles in in the UK

    A small detail I forgot to mention - on my GTB I spec'ed Grigio Chiaro stitching. I didn't think there were any stitched areas on the lower dash section when I placed the order for that car but there are (certainly on right hand drive cars) on a section beneath the steering column. The factory default is to stitch this option in the chosen STC1/2 thread colour. It looks odd if you have a contrasting thread colour as both panels either side of the column are different shapes so the stitching line really stands out and not in a good way. I'm sure it is likely the same on left hand drive cars. I made sure to have my dealer request this area was stitched in thread to match the leather colour on my GTS.

    Another item that may be worth drawing attention to for anyone still to spec/finalise their spec is that the factory default finish for the seat centre stitching on the 296 is thread to match the chosen leather colour where on all previous models the thread on the Daytona insert strips in this area matched with whatever STC1/2 colour the customer ordered. This little detail is included in the interior diagrams for all versions of the seats within the personalisation guide (Daytona seat options page shown below) but not every buyer will possibly see this document and it is easy to miss, especially if you have had previous Ferraris and just come to expect the stitching to match in all areas. The guide says "Always tone on tone stitching" which implies that you cannot change this. However, it is possible to get deviated stitching in this section of the seat but it is not recommended by the factory I was told. I think that is because the seats are now made by an outside supplier and variations/special requests add a time delay to production. From memory it was option code OAR1 to get this done. When my GTB arrived I was expecting to see Grigio Chiaro stitching on the Daytona inserts and was surprised to see it was black.

    As gorgeous as Cuoio Toscano is, for me it's exterior Celeste Met that steals the show. Possibly my favorite Ferrari colour, ever.

    Stunning vehicle, enjoy it in the best of health.
    I love a good green, and kudos for your choice of color.
    Trivia question, I am used to seeing CF shields when the spec includes the CF center caps. Why did you stay with the yellow shields?

    Beautiful, I am really loving our 296GTB! Its sooo soo fun! I just wish they would quickly update/upgrade that disastrous infotainment system. My Lusso is Cuoio Toscano and its very rich, really upgrades in the interior feel.

    Awesome spec, and I love how much of the details you took into your own hands to get the build that's perfect for you - with a regular production slot, no less!

    Regarding the neck warmers, my wife is nudging me to spec 'em. Have you had the chance to try them and, if so, are they living up to expectations?

    I've not had the opportunity to test them out as yet. The car is currently at the PPF installer and won't be delivered to me for a couple of weeks.

    Well done with the spec and thanks for your insightful commentary, it really helps those of us that haven’t locked our own spec down yet.

    Great build! Would you happen to know what the difference is between CRPC and CRPN? Is it just the color matching your leather color vs Nero on CRPN? Do you still get the full Alcantara carpeting (instead of regular carpet material) and the leather mat area? It's confusing because CRPN is like $900 more than CRPC.

    CRPN is where all the "carpeted" areas are finished in black alcantara. CRPC is where the alcantara used for carpeted areas matches the chosen internal colour. The price is the same for both options here.

    Thanks! So if your internal colour is black, do CRPC and CRPN do the exact same thing?

    If you were choosing black as your main internal colour then your dealer would order CRPN if you want the leather and alcantara carpet instead of the regular carpet offering. If you were going for another interior colour such as Cuoio, Rosso, Blu etc then you would need to order CRPC to get the alcantara to match the leather colour though bear in mind there is not a matching shade of alcantara for every leather option - there was no shade to match Cuoio Toscano for example.

    How were you able to spec the dash surround trim to a different color than the leather inserts PIP7? When I tried to change that color on option PIP0, the configurator would only accept Nero or Charcoal on PIP7. So basically, the available configurations were PIP7 all in one color or PIP7 in Nero or Charcoal/PIP0 in desired color. Also, the stitching also looks like a deviated color. Are these only achievable by Atelier?

    I didn’t do my spec through the Atelier. I had my dealer submit a list of requests where I wanted variations from standard. The dash surround in a different colour to the PIP7 inserts required option PIOX which is PIP0 in extra range leather (Grigio Chiaro).

    The stitching is STC2 in Grigio Chiaro. The deviated Grigio Chiaro stitching on the Daytona insert strips is code OAR1. The online configurator will not show you this nor will the dealer configurator. I did a quick photoshop of the dealer’s configurator image to show the dash insets in Grigio Chiaro and he sent the image to the factory so they knew exactly what I wanted.
