    That's a Pic of Lapo Elkann's 599. He's the brother of Mr. John Elkann, President of Fiat Group. So he is really connected to the factory :)

    The car is painted in some kind of light blue (close to the Porsche's riviera blue), with blu scuro roof and some kind of minor's other changes.

    This certainly isn't tasteful, at least not in my book.

    At least you wouldn't have to worry about your jeans staining the leather seats after repeated use.

    Oddly enough wouldn't the denim hold up to more wear than the standard leather?

    That same car is in a 2-tone Matte Blue paint scheme as well.

    Very tough on the eyes.....

    This is usually hard for me to say, but there is not one thing about that car I like.

    Maia- Affirmative. That I like. I had a 1957 Porsche 356A in almost the exact same color, but it does not seem quite as suitable for a 599.

    I like its unrivaled ability to be repainted and reupholstered.

    Because I really like this car! Ok the seats are a bit odd and would be 100% nicer in alcantara.

    But I love the black wheels with italian flags in the centre, black roof and blue body work.

    Am I right in saying that this has been around for quite a few years now?
    Seems like a lot of the recent design cues such as the black roof on GTOs/late 599s came from things like this?

    Nonetheless I like it!

    The denim itself doesn't bother me actually ... but the addition of arse-pockets and a belt-loop to the front lip of the seat is what really makes me question the artistic integrity of the designer.

    On the plus side, if you owned that car and were asked, "Where does one keep change for road-tolls in a Ferrari 599?" You could say, "My seats have pockets just like these." and point to your pants. That would be unique.
