296 Speciale configuration - questions and options

I would assume that this is the same carpet as in the regular 296

 

It will be a technical fabric of sorts. If you have had a Pista or any other VS, it is nothing very special. Alcantara is $6083 (plus $2607 if in a non-standard color) and Carbon Fiber is $9152. I actually expected that price to be higher, but alas it is not!

Does the technical fabric extend from the footwell to the wall in back of the seats? It looks like the same thing but I don't have the personalization guide yet to know for sure.

thank you @Lagunae92 exactly what I was looking for!

 

I have found that the videos show different configurations. They aren't all exactly the same throughout the videos even though you can't really tell unless you pause it to see the details when they are showing the exterior and interior.

 

Amazing to have access to this. Dealers definitely keep this close hold - I don't know why.

 

To me, the CF is a no brainer…assuming you like it. For a few thousand more than alcantara, it’s so interesting. No other car has that option. I will ppf it as well.

 

I have a TM appointment, and doing CF will be cheaper

 

It’s quite an experience with TM. Atelier will be just as good, and you won’t have to use non-automotive materials and that saves big bucks. I imagine the material is something like that. It’s a fabric that I love on the 458 Speciale, but one I did not like as much on the 488 Pista. Generally, I am a fan of the lightweight fabrics, but I just don’t know what this one looks like.

 

really love the maranello. Verde Jewel looks really cool. As much as i admire looking at non-red ferraris, i'm mentally stuck on a shade of red for myself.

What color was your pista? that color was stunning! can you post pic of your pista?

 

They can replace any fabrics that are not impacted by the airbags. So, for example, the headliner and upper dash of a coupe has to be leather or Alcantara that is approved for airbags. I suppose on the spider, you can play with materials more, but the upper portion of the door is not carbon because they need Alcantara for the airbag.

 

I’m with you. I’ve had Maranello, Fuoco, Magma, and Libano coming. Maranello is my favorite. I’m seriously considering it for this. Magma is my dynamic, but not as pretty.

 

I like the two reds better because the colors are better coordinated- IMO.

 

Agreed. I spent more time on those ones, and the blue and green were just thrown together.

 

There should be a way to tell if it is the same material on the speciale, right? wouldn't it have the same name? I actually really like the look of that material as well, for sure better than Alcantara.

 

Congrats! Nice choices, one thing to note, some detailers might also PPF the paddles, I really don’t like how that feels, its easy enough to reverse after the fact, but worth making a note to your detailer if you do or don’t want that.

I would note Blu Elettrico comes in 2 flavors: original and 2020. The 2020 is a bit darker, and reads to my eyes more like a super version of Blu TDF. I think it might work a little better on the 296, but thats going to come down to how each of us sees it.

I think if you do the green Id reconsider the stripes and calipers in yellow, or the seats in red.
