2001 Ferrari 550 Maranello

The Quintessential Front Engine V12 Ferrari

As the first two passenger, front engine Grand Touring Ferrari since the much revered Daytona of the 1970’s, the 550 Maranello was an important car. Based on the 2+2 chassis of the 456, the 550 was positioned as Ferrari’s top of the line model, featuring a comfortable interior, nicely sized trunk, a front mounted 5.5L V12 engine and a rear mounted 6 speed manual transmission.

Presented here is an excellent example, with all the eyeball appeal, performance and comfort one desires from such a Ferrari. Finished in what some say is the only colour a Ferrari should be seen, Rosso Corsa Red, slide into the flawless Tan leather interior and a twist of the ignition key brings forth the unmistakable sound of a DOHC 48v 5.5L Ferrari V12 engine making 485hp at 7,000rpm. Falling perfectly into your hand is the chrome shift knob of the 6 speed transmission in the perfect gated pattern. Of course it comes outfitted with all the features one would require from a grand touring coupe such as full climate control, traction/stability systems, power features, premium audio …. But what makes a Ferrari special is the sound, performance and special overall experience that comes from piloting one of these incredible cars. Showing only 7,100 original miles, this extremely well cared for 550 also comes with Ferrari car cover, battery tender, maintenance history/record and more; a fantastic addition for the collector and/or enthusiast.
