    Beautiful. Congratulations. Enjoy in good health. Wish you 10's of 1000's of adrenaline filling happy miles. Config looks very similar to what I ordered - Rossa Corsa, bi-tone, Cuiou, Grigio Corsa wheels. Please share your specs.

    Let me add an interesting tidbit that my dealer, Midwestern Ferrari in Dublin, Ohio, shared with me.
    At delivery my vehicle had 34 miles on the odometer. I asked him how many test miles his mechanics had added? He said none! They put the vehicle on the computer, and everything checked out perfectly. No need to add further miles.
    He added that all of the miles were test miles (their own test track) by Ferrari mechanics. And here's the tidbit: every new Ferrari is driven through the streets of Maranello, Italy as a tribute to the brand. So, guys, and gals, if you have a recently built Ferrari it's tires have been on the hallowed ground of Maranello, and even if your feet have never touched Italian soil, your bella macchina has!
    So why am I posting this fact? Because elsewhere in this app I read a bunch of bull-hockey about joy rides by local mechanics, etc. And if I remember correctly they miles cited matched mined. As always, don't believe everything you read, especially on the internet.

    Sabia leather throughout. Standard wheels, etc. black roof pillars. In their wisdom all 2023 come with a passenger display. When my wife asks "what does the 150 mean I plan to tell her it's the RPMs.

    I just crossed 4,500 miles. According to my Road Trip app, I've put 57 miles a day on it since delivery on January 30.

    The license plate is to remind/encourage me to drive it. Why save a car for the next owner?

    tell her the passenger display is in kilometers per hour, not miles.

    Bill, at delivery, my 296 GTB came with a sealed letter from Ferrari SPA explaining the jist of what you found out. That is, letter said we (Ferrari factory) put miles on road and or Fiorano track after completing production as part of QA process and that is reflected in your ODO.

    BTW, my 296GTB had 44 miles on the ODO at delivery. I insist less than 10 at delivery for all my new cars but my Ferrari SA warned at the time I gave my deposit that the car will have minimum 40 miles on the ODO at delivery because of above reasons. This 296GTB is my first Ferrari.
