    I used to say the same thing about 10 cars ago which is not even 3-4 years. Something better will come along. It might be Ferrari it might be Lamborghini (jk not really) or McLaren. I also just like being able to try whatever new comes along.

    I echo your sentiments on the McLaren but I still feel like the steering and suspension is better on the 750 but the 296 is more fun overall.

    Not purple. More like dark blue. Very bright tones and deep tones - sunlight or dark. Aptly named. This color was featured on the $4 million LaFerrari. Fairly rare.

    I would note the color on the LaFerrari is the original Blu Elettrico, the 2020 is darker and more like a super version of Blu TDF. (Both are super nice choices, I think the 2020 suits the GTB/GTS a little better)

    You're right. Since the LaFerrari was built before 2020, it would have been the 4-layer version. I believe the 2020 is 2-layer. Not reflected in the price - $37K. Not sure what they got for the 4-layer. But to me - when I look at the various images of the LaFerrari, it seems almost exactly like the color on mine. I saw a car with the TDF at the dealership and didn't like it as much. I'm not even sure they offer the non-2020 version - they didn't mention it when I was building mine.

    Your color is definitely more vibrant than Blu TDF.

    They still do make the original color as well, which will read as a bit lighter and even more dynamic.

    I really would like a blue Ferrari next as I haven’t had one. So many to choose.
