    Like the new metallic Rosso Corsa, I believe Blu Corsa is both a metallic colour and a tri layer. Just because it does not show up under metallic colours in the online configurator does not mean it's not metallic. It's just like Blu California and Rosso California on the Cali T configurator. Not in metallic colours, but in special colours. You also have metallic colours in the historic section that does not show up when selecting metallic only. Rosso Fiorano comes to mind.

    Another vote for Blu pozzi, then TDF followed by blu swaters. Any of the 3 would make great choices. Good luck!

    I don't see a section named "special colors" on my online configurator ...am I missing something ?
    Another beautiful blue is Blue Mirabeau.

    Thanks so much for your help.

    You're 100% right, the online configurator sucks. I'll just have to wait until i get the dealership.

    i must say, blue elettrico is AMAZING.

    I'm yet to see one in the flesh, but I guess you are right on this one.
    From the pictures I've seen under a cloudy sky, it looked non-metallic...
    It's one of those tricky colors that play with your brain when it's not under direct sun.



    Your welcome.
    Blue elettrico is gorgeous. Being a triple layer paint, I wouldnt be surprised to see a 20k price tag on that option.
    But again, stunning :

    Looks like LeMans Blue- but hard to tell.

    For my taste, for the V8 car, I would lean toward Blu Elettrico, Blu Corsa, or Blu TDF.

    Have a Blu possi 458 spider. Love it. It's Blu during day and black at night. The only issue I have is very hard to keep clean looking. My 458 Italia was easier to keep clean"looking" because is metallic. The 488 I ordered is the Blu Corsa Metalica. Good luck in whatever you choose!

    Unless you are really set on a non-metallic, I suggest you reconsider that limitation. The best Ferrari blues, apart from Blu Pozzi, are all metallic. Metallics tend to show off better the lines and curves of the car, which is probably why they are more popular. They also have more "pop" visually.

    Azzurro California or Azzurro Monaco are both beautiful colors.

    I know this car by pictures since it was first spotted, very beautiful colour. This is a light solid grey, lighter than Grigio Medio, and close to blue in some lights. Definitely not a standard colour, nor in the current optional ranges, it could be from past eras or simply a custom shade.

    I have a pozzi ff and its a royal pia to keep clean. Its like having a Black car. Tdf is much easier to keep clean in my experience.
