1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello

Ferrari South Bay is pleased to present this 1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello, finished in Ferrari's historic Rosso Corsa with Nero leather. Upon its debut in 1996, the 550 Maranello marked a return of the front-engine Ferrari after over two decades of absence. Following an extensive 30-month development period, the reborn grand touring Berlinetta and spiritual descendant of the late-Sixties 365 GTB/4 Daytona made its debut at the Nurburgring with V12 power and Pininfarina's contemporary take on classic Ferrari style. This cutting edge and incredibly capable Ferrari broke production car speed records in 1998 when it managed to drive 64 miles at an average speed of 188.88 mph, and covered 184 miles in one hour, despite making a stop to refuel. This impressive feat spoke to the 550's supreme abilities as a grand tourer. The exterior of this 550 Maranello is finished in Ferrari's Rosso Corsa, and its 18'' ''Star'' Alloy Wheels are finished in brilliant silver. Power is supplied by a front-mid mounted 5.5L V12 producing 478 horsepower at 7,000 RPM and 419 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 RPM. The interior is finished entirely in Nero leather, with Daytona Electric Seats. The AM/FM Cassette deck also controls a 6-Disk CD Changer mounted in the trunk. During the 550 Maranello's production span from 1996-2001, only 3,083 examples were built, and all of them were equipped with Ferrari's iconic and highly desirable 6-speed gated manual transmission, which is proudly featured as the focal point of the center console. This 550 Maranello is offered with two keys, two remotes, the original factory tool kit (which is extensive), manuals, indoor car cover, battery tender and fire extinguisher.
