    I was adamant that my California, due in April would be Nero Daytona, have the bench seat, red calipers, no front park sensors and a Yellow rev counter

    Yesterday I want to spec it, My wife came along which I was pleased about as usually she leaves the car stuff to me but it's nice for her to be involved. Anyway we'd specifically gone to see 2 Nero Daytona cars they had in awaiting delivery but the first Car she sees is the 599 I didn't take last November.....ignoring the 2 Black Californias it went something like, ooh that's nice, why can't we have that etc etc

    So the Car's not going to be Nero Daytona but Rosso Fiorano, Yellow Calipers, front parking sensors (because apparently She can't see the end of the bonnet!) and have back seats ..... just in case we need to squeeze somebody in at some point

    ... Women eh!

    It'll look a bit like this (the closest I can get with my limited PS skills)

    Stunning! My 360 is Rosso Fiorano and I just love this color. I even had a guy in a coffee shop this morning ask me what the color was. Congrats!

    Mark does the dealer give you a parking spot with your name on a sign? You seem to have an excellent relationship with your dealer when it comes time to buy! Rosso Fiorano is a great choice.

    Here are a couple more shots of Andy's car on the road. I've seen nearly every color of 360 and his is the best. This color looks great on every Ferrari I've seen so far, and that 599 is no exception.

    Rosso Fiorano is one of the best colors out there IMHO. It'll look stellar on the Cali.

    Is Rosso Fiorano a standard color or is it out of range? I don't see it listed as an option in the Ferrari configurator.

    Hi Grant

    Yes, Out of range, in the UK it's about $7.5k

    I liked Rosso Fiorano so much that, in early 2000, after seeing a photo of a 360 Modena in Rosso Fiorano, I decided to paint my 246 GT (then being stripped to bare metal) in that color. I love the color, even though it had not yet been formulated when my Dino was built. Great-looking combination on your upcoming California, with the tan and black Daytona seats! Fred
