    If there is any more convincing demo of the near impossibility of describing colors from pictures which are then put on line, just compare the outside photos with the interior shots. My car is rosso rubino, but can look many different colors depending on lighting. But none like the outside photos!

    Cheers

    This has to be the ultimate body/interior combo for a Lusso - makes a good car look great.

    I asked Mr. Sheehan about the color of the Lusso by email and he was kind enough to reply. He said that the Lusso is a much darker color than Russo Nearco. He did not know the paint code, name, or number. The car came with an extra pint of lacquer, and it simply has the owner's name on the can, nothing else.

    He sent me a few extra pictures of the car. Here is one. I think the rear 3/4 view of the Lusso is the best angle. Most of the pictures I've seen over the years are from the front of the car. One of the most beautiful cars produced by Ferrari IMO. (picture used with permission)
