WHO Did It BETTER? Green Or Blue, Which Ferrari 488 Pista Speaks To YOU?

Right now, one of the vehicles I lust after is the Ferrari 488 Pista. While I will be the first to admit the 458 Speciale had less fussy styling that flowed much better, the Pista is an outright beast.

And the 488's chassis, which has been adapted from the 458 Italia, is magnificent.

As we are in the age of personalization, and Ferrari is happy to oblige provided you are ready to write a hefty check, we're seeing some outstanding Pista specifications. Frankly, some are downright awful.

That said, I think I've found two great ones. Coming from Ferrari of Long Island and Miller Motorcars in Greenwich, here's two interesting specs.

Let us know: WHO did it BETTER?

Green is a color that just does not sell well. If you want a car to gather dust at your dealer, spec it in green. I will never own a green car.

They sold but (1) there was no stampede and (2) the supply matched the handful of people that wanted them. They were the ONLY green vehicles we had in stock that were not special orders or dealer trades.

Depends on the car, BRG works great (and sells) on Jaguar, Aston and Alfa. If you’ve got an ithica verde Lamborghini you’ll command a premium on resale.

And your data comes from which dealers on the Jaguar, Aston, and Alfa???

Walk on to any Jaguar or Aston lot most will have British Racing Green cars (or Aston Racing Green) for inventory. Alfa has a tradition of Selling Verdi Visconti which most non CDJR dealers will stock. The cars need to be ordered with tan interior, the mistake that many dealers do is ordering them with Black which makes the car a tough sell.

However on Lamborghini it will be Verdi Ithaca with black with verdi Ithaca stitching or verdi ithaca seats with black trim. Or if you want to get really bold bright blue interior.

Green and tan is hideous.

“BRG and Biscuit is hideous” - no wonder you can’t sell upscale stick to Kias.
