Default Ferrari Colour

Wonder if I could have some of your views. I am in the process of ordering a 430 Scuderia and am stuck on what colour to go for. At the moment I have a red 360. Below are three colours, red (rosso scuderia - a bit brighter than the normal ferrari red) black and yellow. What would you go for? Thought it might be nice to get some non ferrari forum views and since my other car is a scooby, here I am to ask your views!

goes without saying that if you can afford a ferrari you can get pretty much anything done for you, including someone else picking the colour of your new ferrari

Yellow all the way....

quick edit, just looked at the pics and black looks way better than the yellow on that car. i picked yellow on the poll though

Why not follow in the footsteps of automotive coolness and have it the same colour as Steve McQueen's Ferarri 250?


















....Brown!

If I had the money, my first Ferrari would be in Red. Just to say i'd done the whole Red Ferrari thing. Personally I like Ferrari's in Blue or Silver.

Can't stand yellow cars.

OK, seriously. For me personally it would be yellow, but for resale purposes, black.

So it looks like it's between black and red. If I went for the black it would be the non metallic Nero which looks quite shiny. The problem with it is that it's very hard to keep the paint work looking good, lots of swirl marks. The red looks good but might be time for a change. Tough choices but as someone said it's a nice choice to have to make I guess.

Blacks an awful colour, shows dirt straight away (and swirls as you pointed out)...

It's a ferrari, that means red... simple as really, get yellow if you fancy driving the banana mobile... but let's face it... RED is the colour

I thought you could have a Ferrari in any colour you like for a bit extra?
How about WR Blue.

Depends where and when you are going to drive it. Different colours look best under different lights and weather conditions.

As example, for me black does not look good out in bright sunlight...its just too dull. However, when its damp and the paintwork is glistening with water on an overcast day its just about the best colour out there.

Yellow works well at night, a bright colour is needed in order to shine in lower light.

Silver is nice too, but thats not on your list.

You'll have to choose, either that or buy three of them
