488 convert

To be clear, I still love my 458 and I'm keeping it. But I did test drive a 488 for the first time this weekend and I really did love it! I think one is definitely in my future. While I still like my strategy of swooping in and buying a 1-2 year old well-spec'd, well maintained GTB with 12,000 miles, I did play around with the configurator a bit this weekend, you know, in case I change my mind. Just the one on Ferrari website, not the dealer configurator, though I do have the option price list (wow, it's so easy to add 100K in options!).

I have a question though, I'm not seeing Blu Corsa as an option for the GTB, only the Spider (and I'm in the coupe crowd). Going back through the threads here, so far I'm just seeing Blu Corsa on spiders (but still searching). I do see one Blu Corsa GTB on AutoTrader at the Ferrari Palm Beach dealer. Does anyone know, is it a standard color only on spider and a special option on GTB? I know it's a risky color for resale (people either love or hate it) but I got to see a Blu Corsa 488 spider recently in person and i thought it looked amazing. Wait, is this the color that "spiders" said a while back was a chick color??? He was right, apparently!

 

Ah, that explains it, thank you. I have a triple layer on my 458, it's a big premium but looks fantastic.

 

Somehow it's just not the same, it must be that two-layer process
