296 GTS what Rosso should i pick?

I ordered my GTS in Rosso TRS. Very interesting color - slightly darker than Rosso Corsa and has fine ceramic flakes in it. It doesn't deflect the light like metallic colors which I like.

 

That white is amazing, what is it?

 

Thanks it is Bianco Liana

Rosso 70 anni was my favorite, but with the latest Price list they almost doubled it fom 13 K€ to 25K€ - that is (for a non-metallic red) totally insane....

 

while not a Ferrari, i like reds with a warm glow.
and definitely with a stripe.

Buongiorno
Ho in arrivo una 296 gts rosso maranello ma ancora non sono riuscito a vedere di persona questo colore, qualcuno la possiede ?

 

I agree. I was very close to ordering this color. In the end, I went with Grigio titanio.

 

Due cose diverse ma molto bello anche il grigio Titanio, spero aver scelto bene, mi dispiace che in concessionaria non avessero la cartelle con il rosso maranello ma solo sul configuratore.
Sappiamo tutti che i colori vanno visti dal vivo !!! In foto o video sono molto diversi dalla realtà

 

wow I only paid $18,000 AUD or 10,800 Euro

 

A me anno chiesto 24.000€
E' una spesa che al momento che rivendi l'auto non sò se viene riconosciuta !!!

 

Well, as the 296 is not a special edition like a Pista (where people might buy a used one even if they could have afforted a new one but could not get it), I guess people who buy a used 296 are price sensitive. So if the colour cost 26k€ and is very special, e.g. Giallo triplo strato, you might get an extra when selling the car, BUT with Rosso 70 anni it is too close to Rosso Corsa, I wouldn't pay any extra for that colour if I bought a used one. That is the reason why I don't order it. Totally lost money for so little difference. I also guess it is the same with Rosso F1 2007, which also was on my list; too close to RC.

If you want to be save during speccing your car, go for a free colour or expect the metallic cost high premium when the car arrives even if it was priced 10k when ordering. Otherwise you are shocked. And honestly, I am shocked to pay 25k for a non-metallic, non-special, non-individual colour

 

I originally wanted Rosso Barchetta, but $40k CAD is a bit insane for it.

Went with Rosso Mugello. I prefer the slightly deeper reds.

 

Good to find out, that it is not only me who gets nuts about these prices. After a while you tend to get the feeling of being stingily (is that the correct english word?)

 

For reds, I vote Rosso Magma.

Slvers I like Argento Nurburgring personally.

 

On your car did you paint the under door sills or have them done in coloured carbon ? . I know you can do gloss but you buy the carbon first .

 

There's being stingy and there's nonsensical.

$10-15k for a paint upgrade on a Ferrari is reasonable. $40k for a shade that's just a traditional Ferrari colour to begin with, not even a special request, is a bit insane.

I'd suspect $39k of that is pure profit. Ha!

Porsche charges around $25k CAD for a PTS colour on a 3RS, if you can get an allocation for one. Maybe Ferraris next step will be making paints that are non standard an exclusivity based perk...and charge even more for it. Such is the way of luxury brands now.

 

GM option $995

They are the paint colour

 

Insane it is the Rosso Corsa Metalizato was the release colour for the 488 GTB

 

Colours might be close to Rosso Corsa HOWEVER they dont project the same. RC is a flat colour . It will look dull at certain angles. The others that you mention are metallic and are glossy no matter which angle the car is viewed.

IMO Ferrari has picked up on this and now charges all metallics more when once they were no cost extra.

BTW a different colour would MAYBE create extra audiance however at the end of the day you have lost your money same as going overboard with carbon.

I find it totally ridiculous that Mazda can charge only $500 AUD for a triple layer that looks like 99.999% like the Coburn colour whIch Ferrari will charge $45,000 AUD !!!!
