Spotting at the factory gates, Maranello, Italy (September 2009)

What is the color of that Scuderia?

 

The Cali looks gorgeous in (I'm guessing) Rubino.

 

The Scud with the carbon rockers is Rosso Fuoco. The same RF can be seen in post #42 16M & 599. Also the Scud in post #67 that doesn't have the carbon rockers. Finally in post #111 the dual tone RF Cali with a white roof.

must be amazing to live and grow up so close to maranello to just see this calibers of cars coming and going so frequently.

 

Lars no mention of the rare Grigio Titanium 16M which appears after the Rosso Rubino Cali in post #149! The Nero Matte on the flatbed has silver caliper but the earlier example being driven had red calipers. Surprising number of old Ferrari models driven about. The (Verde Pino?) Green 275 GTB is missing it's outside rear view mirror...

That is very true...yup, close compared to me (Tampa, FL) with all your pictures you have posted I assumed you did live closer than 6 hours. thanks for continuing to post pictures, love them all and always look forward to your posts.

 

Thanx for the great pictures Lars.
Next step should be to add a wav file..

 

Did anyone else notice that on the 16Ms the "16M Scuderia Spider" badge below the fender shield is missing? The rear diffuser is also missing on the cars. Anyone know why?

I think it's the same one that that was in the previous update (#135). Defenitely one of the best colors for the Scuderia/16M IMO. The Rosso Fuoco Scud is gorgeous too. I never saw that color before this thread!

 

Nice shots..
Thanks for sharing very well appreciated..

 

They are probably put on afterwards. The diffuser for sure.

All the new Ferrari models photographed appear to be wearing their delivery wheels. In the past new cars were sent out for their pre-shipping test drive on wheels mounted with tires that Ferrari kept in stock for that purpose. Then when the vehicle was finished the correct wheels as per the customer order were installed before the Ferrari finally left the factory.

Can't speak to the history, but in late 2007 they were mounting the buyer specified wheels on the production line which were then run on the shake-down drive prior to shipment. I also recall seeing the special handling instructions posted on the line for the new ball polished wheels.

 

Sounds like the costs ate into another plant proceedure. Thanks for the details!

I wonder if that car is going to Michael Fux, as he tends to buy cars with yellow interiors and exteriors. He has a Scuderia with that exterior color.

Fux already owns an incredibile 16m; dark red with white interior and red carbon fiber. Here is a picture I took of it: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2631/3880969348_1e501e7f61_b.jpg

Anyone care to embed?

 

I'm a bit disappointed about the three-layer yellow, looks dull under that neutral lighting. Possibly it becomes much stronger under sunlight or direct light, but I don't really like the shade pictured.

 

Thank you for sharing these excellent photo's. It is greatly appreciated.
