I had my NYC Atelier appointment last Friday. Was a fun experience, and they guided me to several choices I would not have specified on my own with just my salesman. When we set the appointment in December, they asked if I had any ideas or wish list already, and I sent back pictures of about 10 cars that I liked, including a 250 California, 246, etc. I also listed out some paints and leather colors that I liked. That said, I was a little unclear still what the limits of Atelier were over Tailor Made, although in my case it worked out well because what I wanted was essentially Atelier level.

Upon arrival we got some sodas in the reception and then into the Atelier room. They had a separate Tailor Made room with the paint samples and showroom lights on a 296 (silver with French stripe livery); they had an orange/orange 296GTB AF, an SF90 Spider, an 812 GTS and a Roma.

There were two staffers, Isabella and Androtti. We started in the Tailor Made room with paint colors and spent 15-20 minutes looking over samples, I think she said they had over 300 you could choose for Atelier. They had a few dozen paint shapes on the wall, but many were on soft cards.

Surprisingly, they do not use a configurator software, but a massive layered set of Photoshop files with all of the visible options as layers - they explained it was to make it as visually true to the end result as possible. I appreciated this because a lot of the dealer configurator colors look drab and desaturated compared to real life samples. To change colors or materials, Isabella adjusted the colors and applied textured mask filters in real time - as a former graphic designer I was very impressed at her speed and accuracy.

Thank you so much for sharing about your Ferrari Atelier and Ferrari Tailor Made process!!!
Congratulation to your wonderful specs.!

I took four samples back to the room, then dismissed one (a white with an iridescent blue pearl I had never seen before) to get to three we worked with for a while. From there, we flipped through a dozen different leathers and Alcantara swatches/rolls and played with sample combinations.

I learned one of the main differences between Atelier and Tailor Made: Atelier limits you to "automotive" leathers and Alcantara brand fabric only. All of the exotic animal leathers, Frau, Heritage, vintage leather, Nomex, Kvadrat, Hermes, Loro Piana wool or denims are Tailor Made only.

As we narrowed the paint choices it came down to Verde Wojo, Verde Menthe (left below) and Turchese Molvedo (right below). I wanted a one-of-one car from the experience, which turned me away from Wojo. Molvedo is like Celeste but more vivid/saturated, more blue than Francesca. Menthe is ironically not mint, but turquoise. I could only find a single car in Menthe online, a Portofino M... I liked that it had more blue than Wojo. Even Google Images was empty-handed. The two said they hadn't built out either a Menthe or Molvedo car yet. My wife preferred Molvedo.

The epiphany came placing different calipers with the paints and leathers, and seeing the "gold" (really copper) caliper with the paints and leathers, a harmony emerged and we had a working combination: Verde Menthe over Beige Honolulu Semianiline/Rame Metalizzato (an iridescent copper) leather, gold calipers, copper stitching throughout. With Atelier they could override some of the stitching to make it nearly all copper. They showed me that Comfort Daytonas are not good to add piping since they showed me the piping would end at the shoulder of the seat. Small details that made a difference. Black centercaps instead of yellow, to fit better with the calipers, black exhaust tip.

From there, we looked at every available option. For real, they walk you through every stripe/roundel/dreamline configuration, embroidery, piping, trim pieces, electronics, etc. We got up several times to examine the various cars in the showroom area to see what the options looked like in real life. It was pleasantly low pressure and they were blunt about not adding things that didn't fit my vision. Added 360º cameras, lifter, hi-fi, carbon driver zone and tunnel, and I did the personalized CF door sills because I was already that deep.

The whole process took about an hour and twenty minutes, largely because I was familiar with the options and we had a theme I already provided ahead of time. That part could have been another hour if I didn't already know what I wanted for CF and tech options. Within a few minutes of finishing the session, they emailed the PDF of the build:

The more I look at it, the more I love the color. Seems a little pearlescent, like Giallo TriStrato. Wow !!!!

Question to the others: This car has no Scuderia shields, would you bother ?

Oro Chiaro is a two layer and those photo's looked to have been quite heavily filtered. These are photo's of Oro Chiaro I've posted before that show the true colour more accurately I'd say.
