My 296 GTS Spec

I was at the dealer earlier this week speccing the car. Grigio Silverstone over Iroko. Interested in thoughts.

The pics were too big to post so here are some screenshots.

 

Beautiful in grigio silverstone!

Personally, I would make it sportier:
- diamond wheels
- yellow brake callipers
- nero interior with yellow CLDT
- carbon race seats
- bicolore nero roof

and I don't think you need SNDH.

 

Interior seems a bit dark. Maybe some red, light gray, yellow trim with the Grigio

Perfect spec go for it - But you may want to consider gold calipers since Silverstone is a warm gray color, otherwise you're good to go

 

I purposefully avoided a sportier build. My salesperson said the premium sound system is a must have.

 

I like the body color ok... lighter silvers I think looks better on 296.

However I am not a fan, never have been a fan of silver cars with tan/brown interiors, especially on exotic and sports cars. Silver with tan/brown on a Mercedes or Lexus fits better.

I'd prefer silver with red calipers and black and red interior. Silver with black interior and a few yellow bits looks good too. Silver with blues is cool as well.

 

silver/brown = luxury(think french)
silver/red = sporty(think italian taste)

 

I'm thinking of doing Tailor Made with PTS and custom interior for my GTS... any speculations on whether there will be enough GTS demand to make a TM car less of a financial risk?

 

By definition going TM makes the car to your personal taste is that what the market generally likes - who knows. I go TM with my cars to get what I want but suspect I’ll take quite a hit unless it’s a limited series car. Looking at the specs of most of the cars you see in these threads, the market is fairly vanilla so you probably take less of a hit on those.

 

I had a meeting 2 weeks ago in Maranello at Atelier, result is just what I wanted , very clean car...

 

Would you like to share your spec ?

 

It is a nice color with matching interior , I asked for the seats to be in coloured carbon, but that was not possible . Yet….

Curious what green that is? If you’re getting the racing seats I’m surprised you can’t get coloured carbon as that seemed to be an option on most cars!

 

Carbon seats don’t really work with the GTS though. The idea of the GTS is sacrificing weight and chassis rigidity for a more fun and casual drive. I agree the buckets look better but they don’t make sense here.

 

A luxury spec on a sport car is also not my thing but I think it’s done well for what you’re aiming for. I’d probably only change the wheels to a diamond cut (wish they offered polished silver wheels, never been a fan of the satin silver finish).

 

The color is only used once before, and the carbon colored seats would delay the delivery time.

 

I know what you mean but the carbon seats sit so much better.
Picked them on my order

 

Another factor that helps Carbon seats is the fact they look more appropriate for an Exotic sports car
The standard seats look very run of the mill IMO

 

Not how I felt when I tried them. The lumbar is too aggressive (which I admit does make them look better). The Artura has a new bucket seat that has lumber adjustment and a rocking up/down motion, I hope Ferrari can implement something like that.

I do agree that the comfort seats look bland though.
