Keep it under 5000 miles and you will be fine.

If I am not mistaken the RPM's should be under 4,500 for the First 1,500-3,000 km

It's as broken in as it's getting the day you get it. Proceed with flogging.

All new Ferraris come from the factory with atleast 60 miles of "break in" driving already on them. The factory has professional test drivers run the car around the Fiorano track before they sent to the dealers. (dream job?) The car should be driven and enjoyed however you want as soon as you get it!

I know my pops had a dealer "advised" break in. I believe it was up until the first oil change @ 500 miles or something along those lines.

But, as already mentioned, they have been flogged at the factory already, no reason to ***** foot around in it.
