How would you configure your dream Ferrari?

A post on the HP just linked to Ferrari's configurator. I actually couldn't get it to work, probably because I'm not rich enough. The one thing I can say is that any Ferrari I could customize wouldn't be red. I'd go yellow/black on everything except the Lusso models. There I would do gray/black. How about you?

For me because I will never own one it is easy. I would go totally traditional. Red with tan interior.

Ferrari's isn't wifey material, unlike Porsches, I am not going to own it forever. Probably just keep it for two years or so, with that in mind. I would order the traditional red/tan for resale value. Majority of people looking for used Ferraris will be looking for a red one. If you want a different color, I would probably vinyl wrap it.

I got rid of my Porsche (the one in my avatar) I wanted this one so much. I like silver. The M5 was Amzaonite Silver and the 991tts was Rhodium Silver. The Ferrari is Argento Nurburgring. The Cali for now is my dream Ferrari, I have wanted it more than a F12 or 599GTB or 488 Spider. My next one might be a 488 Spider but I really like the look and the way the California HS drives. It is a great street car, just have to be careful about parking.

I also wanted the red and black interior along with the HS package, LED wheel, full electric heated and ventilated seats and parking camera with homelink mirror. This is pretty much exactly what I would have ordered but someone else did and backed out so I got it instead. Not many silver ones out there so it stands out from the crowd.

I love that Cali. I actually love silver (that is my Turbo-GT Silver) however IF and thats a big IF I ever owned a F I would get traditional. I don't even like tan interior ;-)

Mine is Grigio Titanio Metallizzato....it's a metallic silver
I had a GT Silver Turbo...this is a little different.
Titanio is slightly darker than your Argento but lighter than Silverstone.

Options for me would include:

Front axle lift system (I'm not sure the Cali' needs it)
LED driver zone steering wheel
Hi-Fi system
Daytona Seats with full electric adjustments. The Daytonas fit me best because the sport seats can be ordered in three sizes and I haven't tried each one.
Yellow Brake calipers (on most factory body colors)
Black dash for less reflection in the windshield
Carpeting to match the seats. I'm not a fan of black carpet without black seats.
Scuderia Shields
Electrochromatic Mirror because it is located at headlight level.

Optional options: Navigation, Yellow Rev Counter, Satellite Radio, 20" forged diamond rims, carbon fiber bits and deviated stitching.

Everyone has mentioned the color Rosso Corsa over Beige or Tan color schemes that support re-sale. I also love the darker blues, black and yellow, but, hey, it's a Ferrari. Didn't they invent the color red?

DREAM Ferrari: 488 Spider
2nd Dream Ferrari: 458 Spider
3rd Dream Ferrari: 430 Spider with 6-speed gated manual.

BTW, I need to PM WRS because I'm considering trading my '15 Turbo S for an F car and I would like his observation.

Cheers
