Thoughts from someone that is becoming a Ferrari club member, and never expected it.

Just saw this thread so it may be too late, but a neighbor has a darker green with tan interior. Her Portofino looks spectacular.

 

I've had different cars in Nero Daytona (a 575 and a 599) and while it's fantastic looking, it looks rapidly dirty - it's not difficult to clean, it just needs to be cleaned very frequently

For the next car I bought (the 488) I chose Grigio Silverstone, it's not easier to clean but far more forgiving when not completely clean.

... no matter the colour, congrats for the Portofino.

 

Congrats, you will always remember the process for buying the first. What color?

 

And now, the waiting....
I was really impatient to get my 458 but it's supposed to rain today so now I'm fine waiting one more day

 

Have you seen the grigio interior? They are rare and I think they look great.

 

If you like to clean a car (weekly), you can opt for black... if not, choose another colour.

My favourite colour is grigio titanio (because it makes the design speak and it’s so understated and very very classy).

 

When my wife and I went Ferrari shopping, I was looking for a red one. She pointed out a Grigio Titanio with Cuoio interior. I didn’t care for the Grigio Titanio until I got up close to the car and saw the interior. That color combination just grabbed me. It looks so classy together.

Enjoy the buying journey. Well worth asking your dealer to keep checking if a factory Atelier session is possible when Italy starts to free from current covid lockdowns.

 

thats my motto no kids no wife happy life. I too am a younger guy local to nyc . Bought my first ferrari a 360 spider racing exhaust . Nothing beats putting the top down and hearing the exhaust! you only live once, so if you can afford to do it ... do it . Salute

 

Congratulations, that's an amazing journey! When I lived in Spain I had a convertable and found that the majority of the time the roof was up for the air con - it's no fun sticking to leather seats. Perhaps it's just because I was in the city, and traffic was bad enough that there was no breeze. 300 days of sun sounds like heaven again though! Can't wait to see some pictures when you get it, that smile will be huge

 

Are you in southern Italy like Calabria?

 

I like your thoughts here about not wanting to flaunt "it" to your friends, and those less fortunate. I just obtained my first Ferrari, a red 458 less than two weeks ago. It certainly attracts more attention than the white 991.2 I own. So far most reactions are positive. I do try to keep it under the radar so to speak. I own a lawn care business, started mowing lawns while in college. Never graduated, not even an AA. God has blessed me and I give him all the credit. I realize many are smarter, and work harder. I am blessed and enjoy the blessings. Stay humble, but enjoy your wealth, and share with others.
