How many different types of RED did Ferrari offer over the past 25 years?

Rosso Corsa is the classic Ferrari red.

 

I don't think it's offered any more, but Rosso Cino (Chinese Red) was a beautiful, rich dark red. The fellow who invented the Escort radar detector had a plexi-nosed Daytona in this shade - awesome!

My 1976 GTB is Rosso Chiaro. Rosso Corsa at first glance until sunset when it takes on some interesting hues.

 

there is rosso fiorano which is a dark almost wine colored red. very beautiful on the more classy ferraris such as the 550 and the 575.
rosso dino is a very orange looking "red" and in some lights could actully be seen as just plain orange.
rosso scuderia is the red that ferrari puts on their F1 cars. it is pretty much rosso corsa but a little more orange in a good light.
well theres my input.

 

Not to be pedantic, but the answer is almost impossible to give, unless you have access to ALL the factory records, without those you won't be able to include the special order cars, where customers have taken up the option to have their car painted to match a sample that they, the customer provides. This option is still current,at a stupid price of £3585 (US$6300) for 430, but I have no idea how many people take it up.

 

Also, the shade of Rosso Corsa changed over the years. It has taken on a brighter, more orange color in later years compared to earlier cars.

Rossa Rubino is a dark, almost burgundy red.

Rosso Barchetta, another dark, burgundy red.

 

Sure, Wes. There's also Rosso Metallico, less bright than Rosso Corsa with metallic flake.

 

Anyone got a shot of that Rosso Cino?

 

Rosso Scuderia, Current.

 

Only if you consider 'classic' as the 1970's forward. The original racing colors were a much darker red, similar to Rosso Barchetta. Scuderia Ferrari began racing Alfas in that color and used it on the first models manufactured under Ferraris name. It then began to get lighter. Today's red on the Forumula 1 cars are very bright and were designed for better TV coverage.

Naturally there are models you can point to as exceptions, but this has been the general pattern for the evolution of red and Ferrari.

 

Thats Rosso Scuderia.

 

That color, at least the late-40s version, IS Rosso Barchetta, since it got its name from the car that won Le Mans in 1949, which was painted that color.

I have trouble distinguishing between Rubino, Fiorano and Barchetta, though I think Rubino has a little more purple and is like the color of red wine.

 

I agree as I think you have to gather all the red colour code. Different models have different codes I think.

 

The following red colors are listed for the Daytona in Keith Bluemel's book: "Original Ferrari V-12, 1965 - 1973":

Rosso Chiaro 20-R-190
Rosso Cina "Duce" 812.69484
Rosso Cordoba Met. 106-R-7
Rosso Dino 20-R-351
Rosso Ferrari 20-R-187
Rosso Nearco 2.664.032
Rosso Sir Ivor 95.3.9301
Rosso Rubino 106-R-83

The number of color alternatives has been reduced in recent years, as evidenced in his book "Original Ferrari V-8":

1975-79 Model Years:

Rosso Chiaro 20.3.90
Rosso Dino 20.3.350
Rosso Rubino

1980-83 Model Years:

Rosso Corsa FER 300
Rosso Dino FER 301
Rosso Metallizato 302/C

1984-89 Model Years:

Rosso Corsa FER 300/6
Rosso Metallizato 305/C

It should be noted that Rosso Corsa (which has a deeper rose red) only started in the 1980s. The traditional Ferrari red in the late 1960s and 1970s was Rosso Chiaro, which has more orange in it than Rosso Corsa. My 365 Boxer is painted Rosso Chiaro and, while it looks very red standing by itself, it does look somewhat orange-ish when parked next to a 1980s Ferrari in Rosso Corsa.

As SpiderManUK rightly states you can have your new Ferrari in any colour you like, although I think very few people do.

The 365 is Red Sir Ivor. I love the color. You can see the difference between it and Rosso Corsa (the Mondial behind it).

Old thread, I know. We have a 70s 400i in the shop in this delicious shade. Rosso Nearco? But I would take a 400i in any colour.
