Same here, my car was 182 + 46 options, £228k and that has now increased to more than £240k. It's interesting that the options prices have not changed (so far), sounds like Ferrari have a consicence - they knew they were taking the p**s with their options prices and have resisted the temptation to increase them.
Not sure what to do TBH. I know it's small in the scheme of things but I'm going to look at trimming the options; right now, i'm struggling to feel the love of nearly £20k of carbon fibre inside and out.

It's a global increase, so the £/€ is not the primary driver.
We are not talking a small sum of money here = £12-15k.
I know it says on the order 'Price will be list price at time of delivery' and 'Deposit is non-transferable and non-refundable' but....

Driven the 570s and 650s. Neither compare in my mind - appreicate the carbon tub etc but I’ll never experience the difference there! The simplicity / common sense of driving the Ferrari - pulling both paddles to engage neutral, pulling one to put it in manual mode, changing the mode - one dial not two in the McLaren.... all favours the Ferrari. And it’s a Ferrari who use Ferrari engines in their F1 cars, not Honda or Renualt.

I beg to differ but appreciate its subjective and a matter of personal opinion.Await barrage of McLaren enthusiasts.... ??
I picked up a brand new pre registered heavily optioned 488 back in February, after 4 months and 3.5k miles I decided that I was putting too many miles on it and needed another daily so picked up a 570s.
In my opinion the 570s was better in everyway bar speed - on a drag the 488 was about half a car length quicker however sorted by a remap - and this is a comparison against the near entry level McLaren and not the direct comparison ala 720s which apart from its subjective looks blows the door off the 488 in every single way.
Anyway after three weeks of 570s ownership and not even a desire to look at the 488 let alone drive it I subsequently disposed of it and sold it back to the supplying dealer.
I'm not saying the 488 was a bad car, I'm just in favour of the 570 and on paper it is the better car for less money. It even gets more attention if that's possible - people look at the 488 like your just another pompous f

You were lucky that you preferred the 570 over the 488, as the McLaren dealer wouldn’t be at all interested in taking the 570 back..I picked up a brand new pre registered heavily optioned 488 back in February, after 4 months and 3.5k miles I decided that I was putting too many miles on it and needed another daily so picked up a 570s.
