I picked up my Nero Daytona with Cuoio/Red Alcantara interior yesterday and did about 180 kms today - mix of city/highway driving. I had driven the 812 at Varano as part of the Pilota late last year so I only experienced it in anger on the track. I was not sure what to expect in day to day driving as I was really hoping for a GT car that was refined enough to be used for trips to the country with the missus (TDF does not tick this box) but still lethal enough to be enjoyed on the track a couple of times a year (TDF-many ticks of this box!!). This is now my 6th Ferrari so I expected it to be good - but I just don't know how Ferrari do it time and again - this car is astonishing in its breadth of ability. Ignoring the design for now, the 812 reveals distinct personalities more so than the F12 did - super refined up to 4-5,000 rpm, then plant the accelerator and that V12 exhaust note and momentum shift is pure Ferrari DNA. It is a major step up in nearly every department from my recollection of my F12 - I even think the new electric steering is better - feels more weighted when you need it to be than the F12 (although still a little detached compared to a 911). The improvement in all the controls, electronics is really appreciated. Simple things like the indicator rocker switches on the steering wheel, wiper control and cruise control - far more simple to operate and works more efficiently. My daughter loved playing with the passenger display, selecting music etc. Try as I might, with a relatively simple interior spec, I could not fault the quality of the interior, leather etc. Car's interior looks very well put together - very solid, no rattles, squeaks - S Class like from that perspective. My only quality issue is with the exterior - the rear diffuser suffers from the same issue seen on many 812s - it is not level. There is a lot of flex in this piece so will be interesting to see what the factory says about it. Design wise I liked the 812 from the moment I saw it in Maranello so my only reservation was did I make the right colour choice - but when the car was unveiled in the Ferrari dealership showroom I was very happy with ND - more so in sunlight when it just looks stunning and has the depth and contrast to highlight many aspects of the 812's design. Looking forward to many trips in this amazing F car.

Carlo my friend , CONGRATS!!! What a stunning looking car , great classy spec.... ND really suits the shape. Great write up, and enjoy many many hours in the Australian summer -- I think there are going to be a lot of unnecessary trips using long routes !!!

Sylvainsm, you have a killer collection. The 812 is in good company! It must be a full time job maintaining the collection in running order. Best of luck with the latest addition.

Your photographs give a true idea of the Nero Daytona color. (I have a Nero Daytona 458 spider.)

Congrats on a great looking car!

I have had Daytona seats in the past and they were uncomfortable for me so I resolved not to order again. These standard seats are comfortable in so much that after 180 kms in the saddle I jumped out of the car without even thinking of my back - in fact your question made me think of the seat comfort for the first time. So I have to conclude that they are comfortable, and easy to get in and out of. They are 8 way adjustable electric with no other manual option to adjust-see pic below. I did not option this so the electric adjustment component must be standard (for the Australian market at least).

Yes 8 way is standard.

Full electric is 8 way plus :-

Pneumatic regulation of lateral parts
Lumbar adjustment
Drivers side memory
Heating
Electric steering column

FYI - standard in Aus is the electric seat. The full electric seat is another $10,045, which seems ridiculous at first - but it adds lumbar and side bolster control as well as electric steering column, memory seats, dipping mirrors (for reversing) and heating. Still expensive but what Ferrari option isn't.

I e had Daytona seats in two prior cars and have this to say about their feel.

Until they are broeken in I found them to be slightly uncomfortable.

After broken in they were better. It takes a while to get them softened up.

Can I ask a quick question about whether your car has the auto tilt feature for the passenger side mirror. (Automatically tilts down when in reverse to aid in seeing the curb while parking)

Good to hear. We spec’d the standard seats plus full electric. I’m glad to hear they are comfortable. Should make all those miles even more enjoyable!!

Amen to that. In fact, I think the default forum setting should be set to strip out photos when quoting an existing post.

Thanks for that clarification regarding the full electrical seat option details from the other members - so my mirrors do not tilt when in reverse. Given I am the only driver most of the Full Electric option benefits are of no real value to me, especially when costing $10K AUD, but I do wish I had the auto tilt on reverse! That is time saving when parking and trying to avoid kerbing the wheels.

Do they at least have a setting that does it on the mirror switch so u can do it manually?
