    Congratulations! This seems mighty early for 2019s- it puts off depreciation some down the line.

    I think that's amazing!

    But what surprises me is how Ferrari doesn't give you the final price of the car until it finally shows up. Same thing happened to me. I got the final invoice when it hit the dealer.

    Yes, it is what it is I guess, love these cars and willing to accept that. I have an 812 deposit on a car 2 years from now and I'm sure that will have a huge msrp as well.

    Congrats! Looks awesome. My 2019 488 GTB is “days away” from arriving at the dealership....or so I’m told. How much higher was the price than anticipated? Did just the base increase or the options too?

    I'm interested in this as well. I thought many were reporting that the 2019 wasn't labeled as such until much later maybe into the fall. I thought someone here even said it was nearly impossible someone who recently received their 488 was a 2019.

    The whole year model thing is BS. If it's build and sold in the year 2018 then that's what it is.

    PS congrats OP - nice spec! Any more interior shots?

    Congrats on your new whip....she's a beauty.
    I'm curious how much the price increase was PLUS please indicate whether any previous "options" are now standard. .......rear view camera, HELE, front and rear sensors, etc.

    Congrats to you and enjoy.

    I had a September delivery last year and the car was going to be a 2018 (was told that any time earlier than the August recess would be a 2017) so surprised that your car would be a 2019 with a build in June and a delivery in August. Nevertheless, it doesn't matter so enjoy. As you may know, unlike other cars where a 2019 is different than a 2018 and so on - in Ferraris, it doesn't matter. The car shape, engine, etc. are all the same and the only differences between years is just related to the options that the particular buyer has selected.

    I did not take delivery of the ordered car last year but did take delivery of a 2018 488 GTS in April this spring. Pricing on the ordered car was what i paid so maybe the changes today may have to do with tariffs?

    The spec is stunning! The carbon under the doors is just awesome contrast!

    Can you post what, if anything, is not charged for but included as standard in your year of build? i.e. cameras, sensors, etc. And what the net change is on the base amount? I saw on the 812 forum someone is mentioning a certain increase, but curious what has changed.

    I will post the window sticker as soon as I can. I thing the base 488GTB was around 267 and with options mine was 342. I thought it would be around 320.

    Very nice. Looks a lot like my car, lots of carbon fiber. Now I want to get a brand new one.
