Model history
After 23 years of building flat 12 cylinders high performance Berlinettas with the BB and Testarossa lines, Ferrari launched in 1996 the fantastic 550 Maranello. It was the return to the front engined V12 engineering coupled to a transaxle transmission, actually a modern evocation of the famous Daytona. The Boxer and Testarossa were really nice cars but very difficult to use as daily driver, with the Maranello Ferrari designed a pure GT more than a sports car, a sublime and elegant automobile with a high level of performance and offering some real daily driving abilities. The 5,5liter engine produced 485HP, the 550 could run the standing km in less than 23 sec and reached 312km/h in total safety. The cars’ reliability and much cheaper maintenance opened a new area for Ferrari and it was a real success. In 2002 Ferrari launched a much revised version from the Maranello, the 575 « Modificata ». The new Maranello was a much better driver than the 550 with output upgraded to 5,7Liter and 515HP, new aero and floors, brakes, redesigned interior & dashboard and was optionally fitted with a F1 gearbox - a premiere for a 12 cylinders Ferrari. The new car was accordingly much improved in terms for performance and handling with 325km/h as top speed and only needed 21,9sec to reach the standing kilometer. Only 2064 example of 575 M were built from 2002 to 2005, in another words they are as rare as the 512 BBs. The Maranello will remain as one of Ferrari’s GT master piece and sat new standards in terms of elegance, performance and drivability.
