​When you're building your dream Ferrari, every detail matters — from the exterior color to the smallest stitching in the cabin.
But beyond personal taste, some factory options don’t just make your Ferrari more enjoyable — they also add long-term value and future desirability.
At Boardwalk Ferrari, we help clients create builds that are thrilling today and highly coveted tomorrow.
Here’s a guide to the must-have factory options to consider when you spec your Ferrari.
Exterior Carbon Fiber Packages
Carbon fiber is synonymous with performance and exclusivity. Exterior carbon upgrades — like carbon fiber front splitters, side skirts, rear diffusers, and mirror caps — enhance the car's look while emphasizing its racing DNA.
Added Value:
Ferraris with factory carbon fiber packages often command stronger resale prices, especially on limited-run models. Buyers see carbon fiber as a badge of both prestige and performance.
Upgraded Wheels and Brake Calipers
Factory upgraded wheels not only improve aesthetics but can reduce unsprung weight, enhancing handling.
Custom-colored brake calipers — especially red, yellow, or black — add a subtle but powerful statement behind the wheels.
Added Value:
Distinctive wheels and calipers personalize your Ferrari without alienating future buyers. They’re one of the first visual elements people notice — and they matter when your car eventually hits the resale market.
Scuderia Ferrari Shields
Those iconic Ferrari shields on the front fenders are more than decorative — they symbolize racing heritage and brand pride.
Added Value:
Ferraris without Scuderia shields are rare — but often harder to resell. Buyers almost universally expect to see them, especially on models like the 296 GTB, F8 Tributo, or 812 Superfast.
Carbon Fiber Driver Zone and LEDs
Inside the cabin, the carbon fiber driver zone — including the steering wheel — and LED shift lights bring a racecar feel to every drive.
It's one of the most engaging options Ferrari offers for true driving enthusiasts.
Added Value:
Highly sought-after on the pre-owned market, especially for buyers who want a full sensory Ferrari experience. Cars with carbon and LED driver zones tend to sell faster and for more money.
Premium Audio Systems (JBL High Power)
While the V8 or V12 engine is music enough for many, a high-quality factory audio system rounds out the luxury experience — especially for long drives.
Added Value:
An upgraded audio package makes your Ferrari more appealing to a wider pool of future buyers, including those who appreciate both speed and sound quality.
Front Suspension Lift
Texas roads — especially driveways, speed bumps, and parking garages — aren’t always supercar-friendly.
A factory-installed suspension lift raises the front end at the touch of a button, making everyday driving smoother and less stressful.
Added Value:
Extremely desirable for practical ownership. A lift system can be the deciding factor for a buyer choosing between two otherwise similar Ferraris.
Special Paint and Interior Colors
Ferrari’s standard color palette is stunning, but special-order paints like Rosso Fuoco, Grigio Titanio, or Blu Corsa offer exclusivity. Inside, unique leathers and contrast stitching take personalization to the next level.
Added Value:
Unique but tasteful color combinations elevate a Ferrari’s desirability. Caution: overly extreme colors or interiors can limit your resale audience — balance boldness with timeless appeal.
