2001 Ferrari 550 Barchetta For Sale - 2,307 Miles, Ferrari
Classiche, Limited Production LMC is proud to offer this 2001
Ferrari 550 Barchetta for sale. In 2000 Ferrari introduced the 550
Barchetta Pininfarina, a very limited production version of the
550. The Barchetta features a shorter, more aggressively raked
windshield, two-piece alloy wheels, an aluminum fuel-filler door,
and a restyled trunk that was actually larger than that of the
coupe. Additionally, all 550 Barchettas were equipped with racing
seats, which were optional in the coupe. Unlike the Daytona Spider,
the Barchetta was a true roadster, as it was equipped with a soft
top substantial enough only for low speed use-Ferrari's way of
enticing their customers to have fun in the sun. The 550
front-engine V12 with 4 valves per cylinder, Bosch Motronic fuel
injection, dual overhead cams and the 6-speed manual gearbox
located at the rear-wheel drive axle resulting in an impressive 485
bhp. The chassis is tubular steel space frame to which the aluminum
body panels are soldered and has independent front and rear
suspension. Rack and pinion steering with variable power assist and
four-wheel ventilated Brembo disc brakes with ABS to stop the
magnesium alloy 18-inch wheels. Together this package provides a
great handling performance car on a wheelbase of just 98.5 in. As
for excitement, the manufacturer claimed a top speed of 199 mph
while Motor Trend magazine recorded a 0 to 60 miles per hour
acceleration time of 4.2 seconds and a � mile performance of 12.5
seconds at 116.9 mph. Certainly enough to leave other drivers with
just an opportunity to admire the famous chrome prancing Ferrari
horse between the four protruding round tail lights. This 2001
Ferrari 550 Barchetta is one of only 448 ever produced featured in
the traditional Rosso Corsa Red over Black leather, a fitting and
very popular color combination for this limited-production
convertible. From every angle the Ferrari 550 Barchetta styling
lines are exciting and appear to be in motion. The 550 Barchetta
rides on cast magnesium alloy five-spoke wheels reflecting
Pininfarina styling and Ferrari's technical specifications. The
car's interior reflects its pure sporting character, with black
stitched leather and carbon-fiber high-back racing seats and the
wrap-around line of the dash attractively continuing across and
around the production 'number plate' on the center console. Behind
the seats are the roll bars, attractively trimmed in leather, that
provide additional structural rigidity as well as protection for
the occupants in case of an accident. And of course, the European
touch of class in the trunk, a beautiful five-piece Black/Brown
Leather trimmed Luggage Set with the Ferrari logos for the longer
adventurous trips. Also accompanying this special example are its
original owner's manuals, tools, two keys (still in the wrapper)
and more! This 2,307 mile car has been collector owned, kept in a
climate controlled environment and is in as new condition.
