    Those "Heritage Mahogany Leather" seats look amazing! Stupid question perhaps, but are they comfortable? Beautiful car.

    Congratulations! Looks beautiful.

    Could you please clarify your timeline - how much time delay between 1sy photo and car available for delivery? Which state was the delivery in? I am awaiting delivery, and curious what current post-production timeline is.

    Congratulations. Looks beautiful. Lol - you waited so long that the car is now out of production.

    Great video. Not surprised as to the conclusion. Of course the Roma is more of "sports car" than the other two. What did he expect :)

    Sorry for my naivety. I have heard so many people say F8 was Ferrari's last V8 car. How is that possible, given Ferrari is still making Roma which still has V8 engine? Is Roma's engine not considered V8?

    They must have meant "rear-mid engined, non-hybrid V8". Both the Roma and the SF90 Stradale have V8s.

    Hi everyone,

    I need some advice regarding a toy replica I received from Ferrari. When I took delivery of my car in April last year, I was informed that the accompanying toy was still in production and would be shipped to me upon completion. After a lengthy process that included the item being lost in transit, and numerous inquiries from my side (even hinting at involving Ferrari HQ), the toy finally arrived today.

    However, I'm disappointed with several discrepancies. The wheels and exhaust pipes on the replica do not match those on my actual car. Additionally, the Ferrari logo that should be on the fuel cap is missing. I was under the impression that these replicas are supposed to be exact matches of the car's exterior.

    Has anyone else experienced similar issues with their replicas? Any advice on how to address this with Ferrari would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you!

    @Miki011 hope you get it sorted out, but I wouldn't let that keep you from enjoying the bigger Roma. At least that one isn't missing anything? Nice Eames btw. I've go two of the exact spec. :)

    Let me see if I've got this right: you're bent out of shape over a toy?

    I would keep the model in my car and give it to a befitting child I have an interaction with (gas station, grocery store, etc..,) to make their day and fuel there super car dream. You won't be happy with it anyways because it's not right. Best you can do is reach out and try to get the correct one.

    My Roma is 70,000 km away, this is not a software problem, the display must be replaced with a new one. My car is currently in the service once again. This time they changed the spark plugs after 6000 km, the central display and the two turbines of the car are also due for replacement.
    The car has been in the workshop many times.
    Overall not good quality.
    The following have been replaced so far:
    Candles 3 times
    There was a problem with the battery, the car died on the road, it turned out to be a computer and it was replaced and the problem with the battery falling was fixed.
    Replacing the exhaust tips because the paint came off.
    Exhaust insulation replacement, burnt and falling apart.
    Replacement of the wiper arms did not go all the way down and remained in the middle of the window.
    Steady high catalytic converter temp light, second time coming in for this problem, last time they said it was the turbines and I'm waiting for them to replace them.
    Replacement of several modules that gave defects.
    I also changed the gearbox at 50,000 km.
    In general, the car is two years old and has had about 3 months in service.

    Wow - I am sorry to hear you have had all of these things fail. I haven’t had many issues with mine so far but I only have about 3000 miles on it in one year. Sure doesn’t make you feel good about keeping one.

    Тhe worst thing is that in one or two months I'm at the service station.
    This is driving me crazy.
    I can definitely tell impression from the Ferrari cars that they are made only for coffee.
    I previously had an F8 which I sold. I expect to sell this one too, because I'm tired of going to the repair shop.
    There's always something on the car, always a light on.
    The repair shop told me to drive slower.
    After all, you don't buy a Ferrari to drive slowly.
    Now I got a SF90 Keyvany, when I drive we will see how much it is a commodity.
