Vehicle Description
Chassis No. ZFFGT61A350144232
When the Ferrari 550 Maranello debuted in 1996, it was immediately
hailed as one of the most beautiful modern Ferraris. Its design
paid elegant homage to the classic 365 GTB/4 Daytona, offering
breathtaking lines from every angle, inside and out. Though
visually similar, its successor-the 575M Maranello-arrived with a
host of enhancements. These included larger brakes, refined
aerodynamics, updated suspension, a redesigned cabin, and a more
powerful 5.7-liter V12 engine producing over 500 horsepower.
While the 550's only open-top version was the minimalist Barchetta
Pininfarina, introduced without any real weather protection, the
575M brought something far more innovative: the Superamerica.
Released in 2005, it featured a groundbreaking "Revocromico"
rotating roof-an electrochromic glass panel framed in carbon fiber
that pivoted 180 degrees to transform the coupe into a full
convertible at the touch of a button. Drivers could also adjust the
tint of the roof, varying from transparent to opaque with a simple
dial. The modest increase in weight was more than balanced by the
upgraded "F133 G" engine, now delivering 532-horsepower and pushing
the Superamerica to a top speed of 199 miles per hour, making it
the world's fastest-and most desirable-convertible upon
release.
Superbly preserved, this Superamerica wears its factory selected
shade of Grigio Silverstone over a luxurious Cuoio Naturale leather
interior. It must be said that the livery is a highly sophisticated
combination that suits the rare Ferrari with aplomb. The original
window sticker reveals a bevy of options totaling an additional
$44,839. Most important is the highly desirable GTC Handling
Package. For an additional $21,837, this group of options added
19-inch Modular wheels from BBS, Brembo carbon fiber ceramic
brakes, a performance track-tuned suspension system, and a
low-restriction exhaust. Additional choice selections include
Daytona Style seats, a Charcoal-colored dashboard, Charcoal-colored
steering wheel, rear wall leather upholstery, and High Power HIFI +
six-disc Becker Silverstone CD changer, among other options.
Sold new by Ferrari of Newport Beach, the Superamerica's clean
CARFAX Vehicle History Report records prior ownership in the mild
climates of Nevada and beginning in 2010 in Southern California.
Numerous services are recorded on its CARFAX as well, with
consistent visits to Ferrari of Newport Beach. A thorough history
file follows the car documenting its service history that includes
a visit to GTO Engineering in July 2020 for new engine mounts,
trunk strut replacement, and an annual service. Most recently, in
December 2024, the rare Superamerica received a thorough service
from Exclusive Motorcars of Arizona that included replacement of
its timing belts and tensioner bearings, engine oil change, brake
system flush, cooling system flush, and new accessory belts at
5,228 miles.
Offered with just 5,246 original miles at cataloging, this rare
Superamerica-one of just 170 delivered to the U.S.-remains in
pristine condition, beautifully preserved under enthusiast
ownership. In furtherance of its impressive presentation, the car
retains its original window sticker, books, tools, battery charger,
and car cover. Perhaps it is the Superamerica that truly bridges
the gap between vintage Ferrari and the modern post-Enzo era.
Powered by a front engine V12, built in limited numbers, with
Pininfarina design, and an innovative Revocromico rotating top,
this well specified Superamerica with the highly desirable GTC
Handling Package and low mileage must surely be among the very best
on offer today.
