    Are there any pictures of Portofino red customer cars circulating on this forum?

    I cannot seem to see any that are not dealer/press type cars.

    In my mind it would have been a popular colour and there should be quite a few being shown.

    I ordered the Rosso Portofino as well. My dealer got the paint recipe from Ferrari and had a sample made so I could see it and compare it to samples they had of other reds. It only took them a couple of days to get it made.

    Has anyone seen a customer car? I also have an order originally for delivery in September pushed back to October and I am just trying to work if this is realistic. If there are no customer cars in PR then it would seem it is either not very popular or there is a delay.

    I spoke to my London based dealer a few days ago. There are delays with carbon fibre parts (also affecting other car brands). I was due for Oct delivery and they are now saying ‘hopefully before year end’. A handful of UK customers have received their cars already, according to my dealer.

    According to them RP was a popular colour choice.

    My Build was suppose to be September in the states but now pushed back until end of the year. I here they are also having major delays with the wheels. I have not seen many customer cars without the stock wheels. Hopefully they do not push it back until Jan or Feb. My car is also in Rosso Portofino.

    Yep I’ve heard that about the forged wheels also. Although my dealer said they’d deliver it on stock wheels then switch when available. Right now I’d happily accept delivery with Toyota Corolla wheels!

    I recently had an update from my dealer stating problems with Ferrari obtaining the option wheels. I was told that the problem should be resolved by mid-October and that there would be a 2-4 week delay in car deliveries.

    However, I have since heard of additional problems with paint in Ferrari's new 'Green' paint facility.

    My car is definitely delayed and I just hope Ferrari are able to resolve their part supply and production issues very quickly.

    Ordered mine in Rosso Portofino in November 2017. Was to be built July/August. My dealer in Houston just confirmed car delayed due to problems with the RP paint. They do not know when it will be built. Given option to switch to Rosso Corsa, but will wait for RP. Please let me know if anyone knows the cause of the delay or when Ferrari may resume production.
