Most unassuming ferrari

Planning within the next five years or so to purchase a second ferrari. I want it to be very unassuming. No turned heads, no second glances, no people stopping you at gas stations asking for pics. I'm sure color is a big part. My current ferrari is red and sticks out like a sore thumb. So pry grey/silver. But I'm looking for something you can drive around daily that people won't tend to notice. And, God forbid, leaved it parked outside my house since I won't have garage space for it, and most people would walk by it and not even know it's a ferrari...any suggestions? Reliability is also a factor of course. Don't know what prices will look like 5 years from now, but preferably under 80k. I live in America also.

 

Under 80k the only options that meet your requirements are the 400 or 412. Over 80k the only Ferrari I know of that doesn't scream Ferrari is the 456. If you have a problem with being noticed you've chosen the wrong brand.

 

A 456 in Grigio Titanio should do the trick.

 

Slap Blue Oval stickers front and back and you should be good to go incognito!

Some Ferraris standout more than others, but all Ferraris standout.

 

It's amazing the difference between driving a 458 and an F12. Both are rosso corsa. With the 458 its people yelling at you, filming you, trying to race you, ask you what you do for a living, what's it cost, how fast have you gone, etc. With the F12 you get about 10% of the attention if that. Go F12. If you want to blend in get a white/gray run of the mill color and no badgers.

 

Go find a nice 612 in a dark color.

 

Mondial.

The <$80k 365/400/412 is going to be well over $80k before you know it.

 

Be careful keeping an '80s or '90s Ferrari outside. Rust never sleeps.

 

Hey, the first car I ever bought was a 1994 Ford Probe SE (the Probe GT was too expensive). People were always mistaking it for a Ferrari. Oh, wait, that never happened . . . .

I greatly prefer my 458 Spider.

Stealth Ferrari. Not a loud color, covered up the shields with PPF/paint, switched to titanium wheel caps. The number of teenagers in clapped-out Japanese cars with fart can exhaust that want to drag race me has dwindled to zero...T

 

That is a gorgeous looking Miata!

 

Hard for any Ferrari not to draw some attention, but a 612 in silver/grey would be an awesome daily while not screaming look at me.

 

Hey now, Mr Wiseguy! [emoji2]

It did get confused for a Porsche once!

Paul (@Nospinzone) has a 612. I thought I heard him to say it was a "chick magnet".

had exactly that. very subtle.
bought same car for my mother with an automatic, same criteria. she loves it.

 

An FF in black or grey. No one expects to see a Ferrari shooting break or station wagon. If you find one without the shields...


Edit - Just saw it should be under $80k - so really, it would have to be a 456 GTA which not sure is worth the money with that awful GM autobox.

 

Awesome, the first car I purchased was a 1994 Ford Probe (above). The second was a 1994 Mazda Miata. The Miata was amazing. 0 - 60 in about 9 seconds, but you thought you were going really fast.

I have zero problems when my Rosso 458 Spider draws attention.

 

It is, that's why my wife won't leave me!

 

White or silver 456, sans shields.

 

No, I meant you did a good job disguising it.

 

Older, but Dino 308 GT4?

 

I saw such an FF the other day when picking up my Cali from service. All blacked out except shields. To my eyes, it looked totally bad a$$.

One good thing about making your F-car incognito, true enthusiasts will still notice it, and likely appreciate it. Had a nice interaction with a young man the other day while driving my Cali. He spotted it, knew what it was, and we had a nice short chat.

I suspected as much!

That's what we need, great ambassadors for the brand!
