Rosso Dino spider

Here is my Rosso Dino spider fresh off the delivery truck from Italy just after lunch and straight into PDI so it's sitting high as it still has it's transit blocks in the springs. My dealer sent me these pics. It's a difficult colour to capture accurately as it changes a lot under different lighting conditions. The seat centre stripes were a special order to colour match the exterior.

Specs are Rosso Dino out of range paint, Nero leather interior, Race seats, stitching in grigio chiaro, carbon fibre sports package, leather headliner, outer B pillar trims in carbon, gloss black calipers, diamond finish sports wheels, Scuderia shields, TPMS, front and rear parking sensors, iPod, satnav, electrochromatic mirrors and cruise.

I hope to collect it on Saturday.

Great spec, the lighting makes it look like three different cars in those pictures.

It's a difficult colour to capture. Here is my 246GT in the same colour that is currently undergoing restoration and just been freshly painted. You can see how much the colour changes in direct sunlight.

Yes, the 246 will hopefully be completed within 4 weeks. I have lots of pics of the restoration and may start a thread over in the 246 forum.

Congratulations Iain, the Spider in Rosso Dino looks amazing and love the interior.

those race seats are perfect, look forward to seeing more pictures of the spider out and about, especially in the sun!

Enjoy them both in good health!

Rosso Dino!

Gray Sport Sills and silver wheels all on a rare exterior color; looks like a very nice result! What color combination did your dealer order for his next demo 458? Any input?

Truly special ... and still photographs cannot possibly capture the brilliance of this color, particularly the way it "changes" in different lighting conditions. Excellent choice, and best of luck! Now stop driving for a minute and send us some more pics ...
