This spec is awesome, really highlights to me the tragedy if doing body color paint on the black bits is not allowable by Maranello
Imagine a Pizzeria that served all pizzas w/anchovies, and if you ordered w/o, owner said "over my dead body." Wonder how long he'd be in business.
I opened a drawer at the dealer, while looking at colors, and they had a full metal sample of verde GB23 and WOW! What a color. I'm sold.
Darkest to least, Maranello, Fuoco, Magma. I've had all 3. Most beautiful and intriguing, Maranello. easiest to light up, Magma. Best suited for an aggressive car, Fuoco.
Yes, quite the color for Verde fans! Here is an example for reference of the Verde GB23 that appeared on March 2nd > Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login - Topaz I especially like the color because it is a blue-green! Sort of a variation on Verde Tracy to my thinking...
This was my original color spec but with tariffs and the cost of the paint I'm second guessing spending so much on paint...
Ferrari announced couple days ago that it will absorb the tariff cost on certain models but not on the 12C, so your point is well taken. We're looking at 10% on that model, but let's see how long the chess game lasts. If protracted, it wouldn't be so bad if they allow the classic metallic paints as standard for starters.
Yes this is on the dealer configuration. I did see it with the standard alloys. I’m not sure if it was the render but they appeared really “bright” and overwhelmed the car IMO.
I do agree that the standard wheels are quite glossy and massive in an impressive way. Didn't think looking at the pics or configurator that I would have liked them until you see it in person. Haven't seen the forged wheels in person so difficult to judge, but they look attractive regardless of the comments comparing the design to another manufacturer's wheels.
