The Ferrari 550 Maranello is a true icon of the Italian automaker's history. First introduced in 1996, the 550 Maranello was a front-engine grand tourer that replaced the aging Testarossa. With its sleek and elegant design, powerful V12 engine, and superior handling, the 550 Maranello quickly became a fan favorite among automotive enthusiasts.

One particular 2001 Ferrari 550 Maranello that has caught the attention of collectors and enthusiasts alike is a model with just 6400 kilometers on the clock. This low mileage example is a true testament to the exceptional engineering and build quality that Ferrari is renowned for.

Under the hood, the 550 Maranello is powered by a 5.5-liter V12 engine that produces an impressive 485 horsepower and 569 Nm of torque. This powerful engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, providing the driver with complete control over the vehicle's performance. With a top speed of 320 kmh and a 0-100 kmh time of just 4.5 seconds, the 550 Maranello is an absolute thrill to drive.

One of the most notable features of the 550 Maranello is its handling. The car's weight distribution is perfectly balanced, with a 50/50 split between the front and rear axles. This allows for precise and predictable handling, even at high speeds. The 550 Maranello also features advanced suspension and braking systems, ensuring that the car is able to handle any driving conditions with ease.

Inside the cabin, the Ferrari 550 Maranello is a true work of art. The interior is beautifully designed, with high-quality materials and exceptional attention to detail. The seats are upholstered in soft leather, providing both comfort and support for the driver and passengers. The dashboard is simple and elegant, with clear gauges and intuitive controls that are easy to use.

Overall, the Ferrari 550 Maranello is a true masterpiece of automotive engineering. With its powerful V12 engine, exceptional handling, and luxurious interior, it is a vehicle that is sure to impress even the most discerning of automotive enthusiasts. Whether you are a collector or simply a lover of fine automobiles, the 550 Maranello is a vehicle that should not be missed.

"The Maranello needs no excuses: it is right-minded, a return to traditional values, albeit values and standards that tower high above those set by the Daytona when it shuffled off to extinction a quarter of a century ago." – Car magazine.
Ferrari returned to its tradition of building front-engined V12 sports cars, resurrecting a line that had remained dormant since the demise of the 365GTB/4 'Daytona' in 1974. Ferrari had discovered long ago that providing optimum balance in a front-engined sports car necessitated the use of a rear transaxle, and the Maranello's came with six speeds. The power train was housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which was attached aluminium coachwork, while the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode (normal/sports) damping, switch-selectable by the driver, which was complemented by speed-sensitive power-assisted steering.
Styled by Pininfarina like its illustrious 'Daytona' predecessor, the 550 Maranello was similarly proportioned, adopting the classical combination of long bonnet, small cabin and truncated tail. The body's aerodynamics were developed in the wind tunnel, where hours of testing ensured that the minimum of drag was combined with constant downforce regardless of set up, an important consideration in a 320 kmh road car. Styling details such as the bonnet air scoop and hot air outlets behind the front wheelarches recalled the great competizione Ferraris of the past, in particular the immortal 250 GTO, while the tail incorporated Ferrari's characteristic twin circular lights. Interior highlights included perforated aluminium pedals, a polished aluminium gear lever, embossed shields to the headrests, and Daytona-style leather trim.
Ferrari built 3.083 550 Maranellos from 1996 through 2001.

Built to European specification, this Ferrari 550 Maranello has the non-catalyst version of the naturally aspirated V12 engine producing 485 bhp. This example is in remarkably well-preserved condition, both inside and out, having covered only 6.400 kilometres. As one would expect, the beige leather upholstery and light brown mats are in fresh condition, while the Rosso Corsa paintwork has no noticeable flaws. Rare and desirable options include 'Prancing Horse' shields to the front wings, five-spoke wheels, red brake callipers, and a half roll-cage trimmed in beige leather, matching the rest of the interior.
Rare in having seen such limited use, this generously equipped example of one of the most exciting driver's cars of its era comes complete with its Schedoni leather folder containing all books and instruction manuals.

The car has been recently checked in Ferrari, the report says the car was repainted and the bumper was changed in the past after a minor accident. All necessary repairs were made during a recent service. This car comes already for second time to our platform for sale.
