    I’m quite curious about how the Blu Corsa paint looks. In some photos, it looks very turquoise, in some it’s pure blue, and some it’s like a satin silvery blue.

    I’m thinking about a F8 Tributo in Blu Corsa; unfortunately there are no Blu Corsa vehicles in stock near me to see the color. I asked my local paint guy to spray it out for me to see and it came out looking very teal/turquoise. He is a good painter and I trust he got the formula correct. The Ferrari dealers spray out looks like a dark turquoise.

    Does anyone just have simple unfiltered iPhone photos of their Blu Corsa vehicle that I can see?

    In photos online I’ve seen, I love the color, but I think the photos might be edited. If the color looks like this, it’s something I definitely want to order. Especially the side shot. https://exclusivecarregistry.com/details/ferrari/812/38742

    I think they got the sample wrong then, because while Blu Abu Dhabi has some dark turquoise tones, Blu Corsa is a very crisp solid blue that only flops from dark blue to light with no green hue to it at all. If a photo shows it like that then there's either a warm filter or the lighting is yellow. Those 812C photos are turned down in tone, to the eye in sunlight it's going to shine more brightly across the panel.

    Blu Corsa in white light (it's an excellent color, nice metallic depth):

    The photos you guys posted of the Blu Corsa is exactly what I want. The spray outs I have/seen at Ferrari look more like Abu Dhabi. The paint code we sprayed out is 266915.

    I will post photos of my spray out tomorrow in the sun to definitely confirm.

    These pics are a good representation of the colors. Blu Corsa was the launch color of the 488 (I forget if it was coupe or spider) so there should be many pics around, just have a search.

    Actually, my spray out is 90% identical to this video:

    This car in the video is way more green then the photos posted above.

    Here's my 812 GTS in Blu Corsa, as @ryalex pointed out, there is zero turquiouse or any green hue to the color which was the primary reason we chose Blu Corsa. The first photo is in the showroom seems more blue and the second outside is the true representation of the color. None of the photos have been edited.

    @ryalex,

    Last question,
    In the video I sent, do you agree that vehicle’s Blu Corsa is more green in tone?

    I think I’m ready to pull the trigger as the majority of the photos you’ve provided are pure blue with no green. I just hope I don’t get the paint job in the video.

    Blu Corsa F8 Tributo - Absolutely no presence of teal/green/turquoise - It is pure bright beautiful Blue - and looks absolutely stunning on an F8 Tributo :)

    The video you sent I believe is actually Blu Corsa - the far-away shots are picking up some light and Blu Corsa does have a beautiful "sheen" to it that can pick up light - but the close ups in the video I believe show it is indeed Blu Corsa and matches the pics below and the ones other members have sent - Cheers :)

    Yes, but that's either the haze of the sunlight or the filter on the video footage.

    FWIW it's also the launch color for the 296GTS, used in Ferrari's very processed images:

    FWIW - If I were to spec/order a new Ferrari - any Ferrari - it would be most likely be Blu Corsa. I think it is absolutely breathtaking on any Ferrari I have seen - but for some reason is is especially mind-blowing on 488s/F8s. A friend here in CO has a Blue Corsa 488 Spider and it is amazing and the F8 I sent the pics of at the drive invite for the F8 Spider darn near made me sell two to buy one.

    You won't be disappointed - just be prepared to gas trips to take a while and people driving close to you to video and take pics. Any Ferrari is polarizing but for some reason a Blue Ferrari - especially a Blu Corsa Ferrari and especially a Blu Corsa 488 or F8 simply blows people's minds.

    Cheers :)

    I agree with everything you said! People always rave about the color and how it draws out the lines. It blows me away everytime I go to jump in my car:) Image Unavailable, Please Login

    As it should my friend!! And it should blow you away 10 years from now as well - I have had my 355 since 2010 and my 458 since 2019 and every time I see them parked or in my garage I pinch myself that they are actually mine and I get the privilege to drive them - Your car is breathtaking!!! Enjoy - Cheers :cool:
