Justin I’ve lived in England for 5 years until 1982 when I was a student so I know the weather as well as all the good things England hás. I love the way you understand sports cars and take care of them and I follow thaut same school myself.
Olivier this picture was taken from the exact same spot as the previous one and is amazing how the G. Ferro color changes just with the light variation Image Unavailable, Please Login when clouds are more or less denser.
Absolutely. Grigio Ferro is not one color. It's at least 3 colors at the same time. One of the most interesting grey paint
Some interesting F12/GTC4LUSSOs on the 70th anniversary thread here: https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/70th-ferrari-liveries.556560 Some really nice historic liveries and a few plain ones in this very mixed bunch
Two pictures taken today with a clear sky and strong light. The first picture shows the GF contrast between the bonnet under the intensity of light and the side in the shade. The second is more or less the opposite Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Posted in this thread https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/599-spyder-concept.446620/page-4#post-145713043 Renderings done by member Drkita I absolutely love it, and i will never understand why ferrari refuses to produce a regular convertible from their front v12 cars. I mean regular production.Seems so logical
Because Ferrari has been making open tops on SP cars promising them exclusivity to justify the price. Ferrari sold the F60 at 10 times the cost of what they sold the F12 TDF. All based on the F12 Berlinetta. Its about creating exclusivity to justify price which is what Ferrari is very good at. The 812 open top will for certain be an LE. The LE VS version with the open top, well, get your wallet out and only an extreme few need apply! Ferrari can easily make this car and justify it against the F12 TDF now that the production 812 would likely be faster than the F12 TDF if on the same tires and in the hands of most drivers. Throw on the aero bits, the tires, take the top off, add carbon panels (I believe only the bumper skins are CF on the F12 TDF), limit the numbers to less than F12 TDF and you've got the most extreme non-race NA V12 Ferrari ever built. The end of an era and the centerpiece of the modern Ferrari collection. How can the sweater resist that?
A regular production open top V12 will make them sell maybe not twice but at least 50% more v12 wich represents a whole lot more benefit than a limited amount of ultra exclusive cars Selling 3000 $400,000 cars is more profitable than selling 200 $600,000 cars
You didn't get my point. Its about exclusivity. Ferrari keeps demand up by creating the illusion of exclusivity even when based almost completely on the production vehicle. They sellout new releases before they are even introduced. Everything has an immediate "waiting list" and sites like these drive up speculation right up to the minute/second of release. And then we get something like the 488. No worry, buy one and you can get a Spider. Not lucky to get one of those? Well find a 488 and a bunch more other cars and then maybe be on the "list" for a Special. Its not an LE but its "sold out" in every country on the globe and even those that think their getting one really aren't for sure because Ferrari itself must "approve" you to be worthy to give them your money. The open top is just another variant to sell the previous cars (especially when demand drops on them) and justify a galactic price to keep the exclusivity model roaring. Its genius. I would have though for sure you'd be an owner by now.
