    Hey all!

    New to forum, I am yet to make a proper introduction and show my car around. However, I wanted to ask about some interesting noise that I have observed at low speed, particularly when hitting a hole in the road or when going over speed bumps. I also noticed that some clunking happens when gently pressing that side of the car.

    Is it likely that something can be loose? Will do inspection with my mechanic before travelling to the dealer. Anyone had this before? Is this considered normal for Ferrari or should I be worried? Car is brand new (~400 km).





    Cheers

    Doesn't look right. Perhaps you could provide a slightly more in-depth video?

    Generally speaking, the car should feel pretty tight when driven.

    Take it to the dealer, probably easy fix something lose and something touching something else. Is the suspension stock...you have not installed lowering springs and anything else aftermarket on it?

    Thank you for your answers. The car is complete stock atm.

    I will schedule an appointment meanwhile. In case someone has an idea what this could be, please let me know.

    I’ll update this thread once I know what’s going on, for future owners.

    Definitely not normal and doesn’t do it on mine.

    Good news, it stopped after 300/400km... maybe it was a side effect of being parked for few months until I bought it. Anyway, I am pleased to say that all the noises are gone.

    Will report back in case they're back. For now, it's time to enjoy!

    Good to hear I put 1200 miles on mine before she went into hibernation. Loved every mile, such a gorgeous car, love the updated interior and tech and my goodness it is fast!

    Doesn't sound normal or good. I think there has been similar reports before. Improper PDI unless it appeared afterwards.

    It still doesn't make sense to me. It should have never made that noise. And who's to say it won't return or make something worse? I would still take it to the dealership for a check up.
