Unveiled at the 1994 Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari F355 marked a real break with the history of the Ferrari V8. Designed to correct the flaws of the 348, it immediately set a new standard with its flowing Pininfarina design, increased versatility and sharp handling. Its engine, a 3,496 cc V8 with 5 valves per cylinder, develops 380 horsepower at over 8,000 rpm, offering thrilling performance with an unmistakable mechanical sound. The Berlinetta version, the heart of the range, is unanimously praised for its stylistic purity and balance. It uncompromisingly embodies the expertise of Maranello in the late 1990s. The example we are presenting is an original French version, delivered new by Charles Pozzi in October 1998. It stands out for its particularly rare and refined configuration: Rosso Fiorano metallic, combined with a Cartier Red leather interior, an exclusive combination that highlights the natural elegance of the F355. Remaining in the same family since its inception, this Ferrari has only covered 28,500 kilometres, as corroborated by a documented history. When it entered its current owner's collection in 2022, a complete mechanical overhaul was undertaken at a cost of over €25,000, shared between Charles Pozzi and the Garage de l'Église. Among the work carried out were the replacement of the clutch, timing belt, injectors, sensors and tyres, as well as various servicing. The last check carried out at Charles Pozzi last March indicated a wear rate of only 7% for the clutch, attesting to its meticulous mechanical condition.This F355 Berlinetta, in astonishing original condition and boasting a rare and elegant configuration, represents a valuable opportunity for any classic Ferrari enthusiast looking for an authentic, well-maintained and low-mileage example.
