    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.

    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....

    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

    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?)

    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.

    UPDATE

    Hi everyone!

    Thanks a lot for all your comments, fantastic community this is! I've finally decided with the help of Maranello's Atelier. They will deliver the pdf in a few days cause i went for an almost unique color. I've chosen LIPSTICK RED which is a cherry like color without any orange shade in it, on the contrary it's a very deep and "blue-ish" red. Never seen in my life and they don't even have it on the Atelier configurator (that's very strange thus i have to wait)

    Carbon fiber all around the car with blu elettrico dreamline on it (narrow stripe on the very low part of the car). Interior goes with carbon seats in blu elettrico alcantara and lower part of the dashboard also in blu elettrico alcantara. Prancing horse with S.F. imprinted on the headrest instead of the "normal" horse. Also the interiors have a Lipstick Red matching details with the exteriors. It's bonkers imho. As soon as i'll be able to share the config here i'll do so. I was very keen on choosing Rosso Magma or Rosso Maranello but in the end this Lipstick Red really got my eyes (it's a 4 layer paint!!)

    Here is the only video i've found of this color:

    Cheers!

    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 !!!!
