    Thanks for all your answers, well I am little bit confused : my dealer, another dealer, and someone I know very much involved into the Ferrari World - all those are telling me "don't buy this car, you will hardly be able to sell it if you need to".

    Either we all are blind, or those guys are trying to sell me their Rosso Corsa with Nart stripe car. I think you all have beautiful cars, but I am wondering why so many people are taking the Rosso Corsa Nart and not being "creative".

    I think those "different" colors are beautiful, I guess a Speciale must be little bit "special" somehow :)

    Great! If the Dealer is telling you "don't buy this car" use it to your advantage to get a better deal. Beautiful car!

    Hello all,

    I just bought my Ferrari Speciale today at Gohm in Germany. This car is really beautiful and very nice combo, i really love the white : i had next to it a Giallo, a black and a red one and in my opinion contrast and color is much better with white.

    This will perfectly fit with my Rosso Corsa 599 GTO :)

    @ -CT- : price is 250.000€ netto that is a very good price given market prices.
    @ zakeen : i called AR and got some pictures, not bad but too many km (12500 km).

    Delivery in few weeks after detailing and minor issues to be fixed.

    Hey! Are you in the Socal area? I heard I have a twin in Orange County!


    Congrats on your new car! I totally agree that the white really shows the lines and curves of the car.

    Despite of tradition, white is just a perfectly match to 458 for me. I trust my feeling and made an order to 488 spider, can't wait...

    congratulations!! beautiful car.

    The white with all variations look great... Italian flag and black or gold look amazing.

    I am currently waiting for a white speciale with black and gold nart stripe and gold wheels. Will post pics when it arrives...

    Non-Rosso Speciales are the business. There is something defiant about an alternate color that suits the character of that car so well!

    Regarding white in particular, consider what a white 328 / Testarossa do to one's knees today! 'Nuff said!

    Looks great in white.

    And when it comes time to sell, the person looking for a white example (and as you can see from this thread, there are plenty who like white) will have a much smaller pool of cars to choose from (one of which will be yours), while the person looking for a red car will be able to pick and choose from an over-supply. And in that case you will have to hope that they choose yours over all the others. The white makes this a very special Speciale.

    Good choice.

    I spent little time looking at F430 Scuderia prices in Europe, this is interesting. Most expensive cars for sale are either white, yellow, followed by red. It seems to me buyers wants to buy red sport cars at the beginning (F430 scuderia, 16M, Speciale) and few years after rare colors are increasing in value and are more expensive than red. Depreciation is not a huge concern for me, but I would rather prefer to have an unique spec that will hold value :). I am curious to know if you experienced this as well...

    This is now a year since I bought this car - and I have no regret I chose this white combo. There are so many 458 Speciale in red that it makes this one very special and unique (I haven't found others in this configuration). Looking at the white 458 MM, LaFerrari white and F12 TDF with many in white it is clear that Bianca Avus and Bianco Italia/Fuji are becoming very popular for hardcore cars.

    The 458 Speciale brings such a fun to drive, depreciation (if ever) is not a concern. I strongly recommend this car to people who can afford, it is just unbelievable performance and handling.

    So thanks all for your help !

    In the US, 20+ years ago 80 percent of Ferraris were red. Now I believe it's around 50 percent. Further evidence of the decline of America :-j

    Seriously, Ferraris look great in so many different colors. I'm surprised at how good white looks on a Speciale! Do whatever makes you happy. You really can't go wrong.

    For me personally, the only color is red. I guess when Ferrari starts painting their Formula One cars other colors, then I might reconsider. Has anybody ever seen someone wearing a red Dodgers baseball cap? Maybe in San Francisco. LOL

    There are too many Rosso Corsa Ferrari's around, get something 'special.' The Speciale will retain its value for years to come no matter the color/combination. Every future buyer will want something 'special' so the rarer the better! It may take longer to sell but it will fetch a high premium.

    White is perfect!
    I'm on the hunt for a white one as well....would love to join the club.
    My 16M is white as well so would be a great match.

    O Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login k gents I have or I should say I had the same issue, I just bought a ROSSO SCUDARIA special yesterday and should arrive in 7-10 days I was worried that its not a rosso corsa but it started to sink in. Its the special its a special car so just about any color will have its own special look and its followers. mine has a sticker of $347 plus K 3448 MILES. Sure would like to hear opinions. Had a 458 spider before RC. and regret selling since it was a 355k sticker very loaded car with alcantera full electric daytonas.
