and is an evolution of the Ferrari 348. Design emphasis for the
F355 was placed on significantly improved performance, as well as
drivability across a wider range of speeds and in different
environments. Apart from the displacement increase from 3.4 to 3.5
L, the major difference between the V8 engine in the 348 and F355
is the introduction of a 5-valve cylinder head. This new head
design allowed for better intake permeability and resulted in an
engine that was considerably more powerful, producing 380
horsepower. The engine's compression ratio is 11:1 and employs the
Bosch Motronic M2.7 engine control unit in the 1995 model year,
later changed to the M5.2 in 1996 through end of production. In
1995, Ferrari introduced the GTS model to the F355 family. The GTS
model was based on the Berlinetta but offered a removable
"targa-style" hard top roof, which could be stored behind the
seats. Other specifications were identical to the Berlinetta. A
total of 2,577 GTS models were produced, with 2,048 delivered with
the 6-speed transmission and another 529 with the F1 transmission.
This was the last GTS targa style model produced by Ferrari. The
frame is a steel monocoque with tubular steel rear sub-frame with
front and rear suspensions using independent, unequal-length
wishbones, coil springs over gas-filled telescopic shock absorbers
with electronic control servos and anti-roll bars. The car's
standard seats are upholstered with hides from Connolly Leather,
and are fitted asymmetrically in the car; this results in the
driver being slightly closer to the car's center line than the
passenger. The F355 was the last in the series of mid-engined
Ferraris with the Flying Buttress rear window, a lineage going back
to the 1965 Dino 206 GT, unveiled at the Paris Auto Show. Total
production of 11,273 units made the F355 the most-produced Ferrari
at the time. The Ferrari Fly Yellow F355 offered has been properly
maintained with one major service having been performed. It
currently shows only 23,493 miles on the odometer. It is offered
with extra rims, owner's manual in the leather pouch and original
steering wheel cover in the bag. It is complete with car cover,

time. Comes with the Pink Original Sticker, (2 sets of keys/

leather pouch. Also have those extra rims. Major service was done
