    Luggage, sport wheels, heated seats, leather headliner, bluetooth, but not the integrated nav/phone system. And I think that's about it. No parking sensors, and I figured the black calipers work best with black interior, so no optional color there. Spare tire seems silly since there's no room in car for even a flat real wheel/tire. I drive my car so much I don't think I'll eer need the built-in battery tender. Can't remember what other options there were.

    How 'bout you? Aside from the leather/stitching, what options are you going for?
    We should do road trips in December and meet somewhere in the middle to get photos of black/red vs red/black cars.

    Eric you have to came back with some pics when you got the car. but it sounds good.
    Something i was suprise in the 612 whas the sound in the car. It was so quite but it was an asym power totally unbelievable.

    I totally agree about the 2+2 in primary colors. It just looks wrong to see a yellow or bright red 456, or the 612 photos I've seen in some of the magazines in those same colors. But the incredibly deep, rich color of the red I ordered is so different, I just couldn't resist. I've only seen it in person inside, under artificial lights, where I thinkit's just stunning. I can't wait to see it in the outdoors.

    A quiet exhaust note isn't necessarily a bad thing, either. I'm perfectly happy knowing the engine can deliver without having to shout about it.

    I thought it was in Skanör. You know, Skanör Falsterbo sportscar show.
    The new 997 Carrera and Carrera S was there. It was the world premier.



    PS. Kul att det finns några svenskar här =)

    Sorry about the delay in my reply. I'm ordering ball polished rims (dark polish) with yellow calipers.No sheilds cause I think they look silly in such a large F-car.Red quilted leather headliner with medium gray stiching.Med Gray leather dash with red stiching.F1A transmission, battery tender,and Yellow dials.
    I have attached a pic on how ball polish rims look on black F-car and yellow calipers tell me what you think?
    I am tentatively planning on taking my 612 to the 2005 Montreal F1 GP. Maybe we can meet up there.

    Looks good on the black 360 (not too sure about the yellow callipers though. They stand out too much. They are a tool, not a design feature), but I don't know how it will look on the 612. If anything, it could be a bit too racy for a 612 when I think about it.

    I don't consider them a design feature more of an accent.Plus I want my car
    to stand out a little bit. In Europe it my look a little over the top but here
    in Florida it barely moves the attention needle.

    If you're craving attention, why are you ordering a black one?

    There fourseaters ferraris must be in a dark color or in a bright color or it will looks very strange.

    is it anyone in here who have drive the 456 and the 612 who can tell the differens? The dealer sais to me it is like night or day.

    I'm ordering black because it's the best color for the 612.
    When I post pics most will agree. If I craved attention I
    would be buying orange or lime Murci or Maybe a yellow
    Hummer with 26" spinners and a 60 inch plasma in the back window.

    You might want to double check the ball polish wheels. On a Maserati they are shiny and chrome like not dark grey. I am quite sure the Ferrari wheels will be the same.

    Sorry, I misinterpreted your "here in Florida it barely moves the attention needle" comment.

    btw, I agree that black would be a great color for the 612.

    My dealer thinks they are going to be dark but I am doing
    a dice roll and hoping they will come out pretty. Thanks for
    your caution advice.

    Your right that comment can be interpreted two different ways.Thanks for your approval of black.I remember your advice on black with cuoio although that is a beautiful combination, I like to do my cars a LITTLE different them the norm. As they say a picture is a thousand words when I post my pics my choices will be better understood.

    confirmed that, but he is waiting on an answer.
