FERRARI 550 MARANELLO V12 485HP 1997 - This model was presented to the public in 1996 at the famous Nürburgring circuit. It comes with all the manuals. The 550 Maranello model was presented in 1996 as the first front-engined V12 Ferrari in 23 years, with the dynamic launch being made by Michael Schumacher at the Nürburgring track. The 5.5-liter naturally aspirated DOHC 65° engine delivers 485 hp at 7000 rpm and produces 568 Nm at 5000 rpm. The package is completed with a six-speed manual gearbox and a mechanical limited-slip differential. The 550M was the last V12 available only with a manual transmission, while its Tipo F133 engine twice won the Engine of the Year award in the over 4-liter category. Thanks to its aerodynamic body, designed by Pininfarina, with a drag coefficient of just 0.33 Cx, the 550 Maranello reached a top speed of 320 km/h. For this and other reasons, the model held the world record for average speed on the TRC track in the USA in 1998, with a record of 306 km/h for a distance of 100 miles or 160 km. Every line and curve was precisely designed to convey dynamism and luxury, reflecting the Italian design philosophy. A timeless model, as expected from Pininfarina, and one that attracts more and more collectors of the brand. Inside, high-quality materials and luxurious finishes create an exclusive atmosphere. Optional extras for this unit also include red-painted brake calipers and the highly prized Daytona-style seats. The 550 is a comfortable car for long journeys and comes with options such as electric seats, windows and mirrors, automatic air conditioning and a Becker radio. The SPORT button makes the ASR less intrusive and adjusts the shock absorbers for greater driving feel. Total LHD production in the European version amounted to 2,150 units.
