    I don't wish to steal this thread, but I have a interior spec question for Spider that I have ordered. I'm getting a spec that is similar to the debut car--triple yellow exterior with yellow calipers and most exterior carbon fiber options (keeping side vents in paint color). My question has to do with the interior. I'm getting black leather upper and upper dash, with alcantera lower dash, lower tunnel and inner door portion. I will get all interior carbon fiber except for the piece that then requires all interior carbon fiber to be matte. My question has to do with the race seats. They will be black leather, with the porforated area and yellow leather stripe. My uncertainty has to do with the inner portion that is just outside the yellow leather stripe. I don't know if I should have that black leather to match the outside area of the seat, or black alcantera to match the other alcantera in the interior. The only pictures that I have found show this inner portion as leather. I've not seen any with alcantera. My question with alcantera is that it may look too busy. I would have black outer leather, the perforated area, yellow leather stripe yellow stitching and horse, and inner alcantera would be a fourth material. Too busy? I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

    ou can’t go wrong with either choice. My 458 I had Triple Yrllow exterior with a black interior. Had the race seats in leather with Alcantera inserts and the yellow stripe. Choose what you like and looks good to you. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    I personally think go with leather but you should be able to ask the dealer to render it and you can then post on here, coupe is not in production yet so spider is way off so you have loads of time

    I think RHD on the F8 is already available. It's a slam dunk with mid engine cars since you don't have to change much of anything in the engine compartment. What color combo did you order? I ordered mine with gallo modena and charcoal daytona interior.

    Nice... I got an early build date because my family has bought many new cars from this dealership. They told me that our "relationship with Ferrari" is a strong one.

    I bought the car on the condition I got one of first UK deliveries so if they are not honoring that deal I'll get my money back, when is your car due for delivery?

    I suspect I am just getting old but I think the F8, particularly the Spider, is better looking than the Pista.

    Agreed.
    Just getting to the point in life where the elegance of the "regular" car speaks to me more, that is all.
    To me the Scud doesn't look that mush more outrageous than the 430, and same with the Speciale. But with the Pista it is more dramatic departure in comparison to the regular production car (488); and the S-duct and spoilers of the F8 just seem more cohesive and less "shouty."

    I think the F8 Spider looks fantastic, but Pista just looks miles better imho.

    They look almost the same.... with the exception of some vent placement of course. Don't know if the Pista has stability and drift control like the F8? Or the turbo management system? Probably does and I would love to get the Pista but its twice the price and unless they invite you to buy one you are SOOL!

    F8 looks much better than 488 but I prefer the stripe and the aggressive s duct on the Pista.

    And the cost difference is not 2x.

    Yeah, you're right... it's about 350k if you could buy one from the get go, but it is a specialty car which is limited in run and will fetch a higher resale for a used vehicle... I'm sure that they will make a specialty F8 with the stripe.
