    Looks like the Monaco dealership to me. Been there a couple of times - wonderful place!

    Nice pics, it looks as though this might be the first Ferrari for a while to suit yellow but may be different up close and personal.

    A few observations based on this latest set of pics...

    Shame they didn't make the TFT readouts (speedo etc) less flat. In this day and age it's not much of a stretch to make that kind of thing 3 dimensional.

    The close up on the exhausts show that they tarnish easily. Compare them to a close up on a show car.

    Loving the aluminium, especially on the centre console. Looks both classic and modern at the same time. Why anyone would want to 'butch' up such a graceful interior with a load of naff, busy CF is beyond me.

    The Scud nose is no improvement. But I like those wheels better than the ones that feature in most of the pics.

    Did they really park one in the middle of a lake? :)

    Ah, I see. As the other wheels appear in most of the pics (and on most of the cars seen so far) I assumed they were the standard wheels and that those seen on the scud nose retouches were the standard ones. To my eye the optional wheel (as I now know them to be!) are way too spindly, they look fragile. And they show way too much of the disc and caliper. With those wheels it's all disc and, while it's nice to see the discs, there it's ALL DISC! That needs to be broken up a little which the standard wheels do better.

    Excellent, I just saved a few quid! :)

    p.s. Keep the great pics coming guys.

    Second sentence should have read:

    The Daytona and diamond stitch pattern options are for the standard seats.

    Good question. Choose the carbon, LEDS, super sport seats, out of range paint and some extracampanario and it's pushing $280k?. My guess. Then fly it over here and tack on another $11,500 :)
