This is my new to me 488GTB in Rosso Fuoco, looking forward to lots of events this year.

What a beauty! Congrats. Rosso Fuoco is the best of all the Ferrari reds to my eyes.

That's one really stunning 488. The paint cost about £17k extra itself !

That's mine. Came from a Perf and massively prefer the driving style.

that's very lovely indeed petjam, really like your carbon sills, wish we'd had those on our 488 Spider, only bit that I really didn't like about the car!

Must miss the N/A V10 howl though which is the lambos trump card.
I have to say the 488 sounds better than the F8 which was absolutely pants and strangled by GPFs but a ferrari isn't the same without the N/A sound sadly

This is the best paint IMO.

Thanks, I looked for one for a while until I found it.

I think it has every option (save for carbon shields and wheel inserts), even has the 5 piece matching luggage set.

Weirdly it used to belong to another member of these forums. He said he bought it as a cancelled order (person who specced it went back to Japan).

Just had these tricolor stripes put on. I am reliably informed that they add 10mph to the top end.

I’ve come from a long list of Lambo’s including 2 perfs and three Aventadors the last being an Sv. What I will say is the F8 is quicker than all the Lambo’s in perfect conditions however in any thing else the Lambo’s are much more capable. With regard noise I was a little apprehensive about the F8 being quiet but in reality when you’re on the power they sound absolutely fine. And coming from the roar of a v12 Lambo that’s praise indeed.

Pardon ignorance, but are the alloys on jdwoodbury's 488 the same as those on petjam's?

Yes, both same forged option but different finish (Petjams look like the forged dark painted alloys option, which is what I had on mine)

Depending on locations we should arrange a V8 meet up at a pub somewhere!
