Got an order in for a 296 GTS, having great fun on the configurator but not seen a price list yet. This will be my first new Ferrari, so wanting to go for more classic colours and will probably go Rosso Corsa / Crema as I've never owned a red one either lol! Had a couple blacks and a blu elettrico but never red.

What would you consider essential spec?

I guess one of the joys of a factory order is to get what you like.
Definitely best get a price list as when I optioned one up I struggled to keep it under £330k!
The demo I had didn’t have front parking sensors, which seemed a weird oversight.
I’ve had 4 RC Ferrari but imo it just doesn’t suit the car. It’s curves seem to suit the slightly darker reds. Rosso Imola world look incredible with Crema. The SF90 carbon seats are more comfy than the full electrics and now with electric height adjustment although shame you still can’t adjust the tilt. External CF can get out of hand cost wide, but the standard black plastic sports sills look terrible. Full interior carbon, incl driver zone. Diamond cut forged wheels contrast the reds very nicely.
The only absolutely essential option is the dark ceramic exhaust. The standard steel looks terrible after a few miles and ruins the rear of the car.
Are you able to a factory visit to spec?
