Wow Ferrari sure know how to charge on the options. What I’m surprised at is how little you get as a standard fit like apple car play, a front camera, rear cross traffic alert and front reader. I do agree with you though spec can make a big difference when it comes to sale time. It’s going to be interesting Tim what the next Ferrari is going to cost when it arrives currently my favourite spec of your cars is the SF90.
If you already think about the basic price of a car like this and then add any little detail, as an extra. There really is something to think about this pricing policy.
@@philiprush3745 I agree £7,000 for what is a metallic colour is taking the pee when on any other car would be £700. Even Porsche aren’t that greedy they charge £1,000 for there special colour like crayon. But that’s Ferrari motoring for you. As one dealer told me many years ago we don’t set the price you do. In short if your daft enough to pay it then that’s the price.
@@stephenclay6852 Depending on the model Porsche charges between £2200-2900 for special colours like Crayon (only checked 911's). PTS colours are £8800-12500+ so they're not that much better.

Always interested in your considered approach in speccing cars. Respect of heritage etc. You’ve pulled off a red Ferrari without the stigma. Looks stunning and classic.
@@frooqyit’s mainly because people assume that if you get a red Ferrari, that all you care about is resale value, hence Rosso corsa being nicknamed ‘resale red’, typically with a black (as tim said) or a tan interior
Nice to see another Ferrari in the garage. Can never have too many. I have never really understood why people pay so much for carbon fibre. From 3 feet away it just looks like a dark grey trim, up close it looks like a shiny patterned plastic trim. I know it’s lighter but quite frankly you would never feel the difference. Personally I prefer plain black trims but I don’t have the funds to purchase the car let alone the trim. Good way of lowering the corporation tax when spending £73k on options alone. 👍🏼
Making all those references to the original Dino, I would have gone for the Daytona seets. The Dino with the "chairs and flares" package has always been my favourite Dino 246 spec. Anyway, incredible spec, incredible car... Congratulations!!!
Love the 296 congratulations!! This car is already a beast, but I recently had the opportunity to drive one with a remap to remove the electronic limiter, plus a benefit with a direct exhaust!! What an incredible machine!! I am completely in love with the car! Beautiful tribute to 250LM
Tim. Thank you for always being so Carte Blanche with details like this. Most people are so closed or clueless about these costs and as a car enthusiast these behind the scences of owning super cars is why I followed you. Keep it up mate!
Now THATS my type of colour/ spec combo.......By FAR your best car m8...........reminds me of the colour of my old MK2 Escort RS2000'S Colour........Signal Red...........ODX 18W Where are you now?!?!?!?! Come back to daddy!!!
Although the Rosso Dino isn’t my favorite color option, this cars specifications are outstanding! The interior is one of the most beautifully collaborated cockpits I’ve ever seen. The colors are in all the right spots and just looks fantastic! Great job Tim
I've always found some of the charges that Ferrari, Porsche etc can get away with charging just mind boggling. I doubt they would be this ridiculous if they weren't living in this bubble of excess demand. £462 to thread a different colour thread onto a sewing machine. That would take someone about 20 seconds to do. £719 to change the colour of thread used for the headrests? Bonkers. Virtually all of those two additional charges will be pure profit. Ferrari are no longer a low volume manufacturer and consequently they will enjoy a lot of savings from their economies of scale. I'd buy a Ferrari tomorrow if I could, but as someone who's worked in manufacturing for 30 years, they're creaming it on the options.
I think it's more outrageous when companies like VW/VAG do the same. They'll tell you the list price is 40K but then you have to add 10K in options until you even have a nice, modern car. If you take the full spec, you're going to be 15K above list price.
Hi Tim! I’m not sure how much this means to you but I’ve been watching since your R8 V10 announcement video. I really love being involved in the ordering,speccing and delivery process of Ferraris. As somebody that can’t yet buy a Ferrari, my single car is a 2011 Toyota lol, it is very interesting to watch. Thanks for living the dream and sharing it with us!
I actually don't think 23k on the interior is bad value for money for that amount of personalisation, it'd be the cost of the carbon that would make me 🤢 Lovely spec but it would have really suited gold wheels imo
I'm not the only one thinking a lot of the 'tech options' should be standard? Blind Sport monitoring for example, radar cruise control... All available on a top spec Hyundai i30 for less than the cost of the options. Bit silly IMO.
I think the Topaz Paint Protection Film (PPF) makes great sense for a car of this value. Especially since you drive your cars on the open roads as Enzo intended. Realizing that it’s an aftermarket purchase and not a Ferrari option, you didn’t include it in the purchase price. Just curious to know what full car Topaz PPF adds to the car’s overall price. Another £5 to 10,000?
Thank you for sharing your detailed options. I love your choices of options : non carbon engine bay (make sense), your interior which surprises me and it works, the subtle matt Ferrari horse emblem and name, and last the Rosso Dino with grey wheels : it reminds me of Schumacher special Enzo. I think your Rosso Dino choice is at home at your 296 GTB than the Giallo, Rosso Corsa and TDF Blu. Big congrats !!!
Ferrari is taking the piss with the options list prices, absolute madness and a clear target at profit! A grand for the wing shields? They literally see their customers coming....
Personalisation is part and parcel of choosing the spec... when you're driving around you can say "I picked all of this"... As opposed to buying someone else's spec...
Beautiful spec Tim! Has me wondering what I’ve done with mine as it spec’d at $512K…without AF. Although quite a bargain considering my SF90 spider AF spec’d at $796K. Looking forward to more Ferrari content. Hopefully you’ll get an XX. I’m planning Atelier for mine early next year.
It must be amazing to be able to spec your own Ferrari but the prices are nuts. I’d spec mine as a base model and use the £75k to go for a 1998 F355 as my optional extra.
I’ve been binge watching you for the last couple of days and boy how lucky are you getting to drive these super cars please don’t ever take it for granted plus you have some beautiful cars congratulations to you 👏 one more thing you’re new Ferrari is lovely absolutely gorgeous
Beautiful car, perfect spec! But couldn't you paint the lower part of the side mirrors in Rosso Dino as well? With Porsches you can... Love your videos!
Stunning car Tim, and the options fitted just add to the overall look- the 296 really suits that Rosso Dino finish. To put the value of these options into context- it’s about the same equivalent as adding £10,000 worth of factory options onto the base price of a VW Golf GTi, which is not that difficult to do on their configurator. Doesn’t make the £73,000 seem just so extravagant now…and the F296 is way more personalised than a VW Golf is ever going to be.
I just wanted to say this is hardly any different than the VW (or VAG in general) configuration options. You're paying 580€ extra on a a pair of door sills for a Cupra, or 890€ for an electric trunk door. If you add 10K of options for a VW/VAG car, you're not even fully specced. And then you still got a VW...
Bravo Tim…! It’s about time someone, ‘broke the mould’ in the realisation that Black on black on black black on Black, BLack.. is a bit boring and uncool when you have “AN ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF COLOUR TO HAVE FUN WITH”…! and ‘that’ is what it’s all about, putting the ego aside for a while and just having plain old FUN & ENJOYMENT in you Creation / Spec… Good Job..! Peace & Love to ALL BEINGS☮️💜🕉
I am really not a fan of red cars, ironically especially Ferraris doesn't look good in red imo. But this car has probably the best spec Shmee ever did. Love the design of the 296 and the hommage to the Dino is just perfect. So jealous.
I know it's a Ferrari so if you can afford one the options are incidental but it's a bit poor having to pay extra for cameras on a £280k car. The cost of some extras is just ridiculous
Thanks so much for making this video Tim! I’m shocked by the prices still hah, for that money maybe I would have done the seats in Rosso dino as well :)
Thanks for sharing these prices Tim, for us 'normals' its interesting to know, should we ever win the lottery! I personally think the tech options are reasonable price wise...for Ferrari. Cheers!
Regarding the front registration plate. It's such as shame, in the time we live and with modern technology, smaller front plates aren't available. Smaller but legible type, say 50% smaller and a QR code that's easily and quickly scannable. Leaving the back plate alone... Just a thought.
I miss the Shmee logo in the colour of the car being reviewed/driven. This proves the only constant is change itself.
It's something we're thinking about but general best practice on UA-cam is to switch it up a lot so we'll see what happens next
Same
I miss it too, lol. I like it, especially when the colour matches the car colour.
I agree.
Same.
I have to say, I can’t see how anyone can say that £350k is a reasonable price for that!

Might be your best spec yet. Truly well done!
