Chassis No. ZFFZR49A0X0113409 Engine No. 50862 In the late 1990s,
the dynamic
Luca di Montezemolo reversed Ferrari's struggling fortunes in the
wake of Enzo's
passing. The all-new 550 Maranello, introduced in 1996, marked the
beginning of
Ferrari's renaissance. Looking to the future but with an eye to the
past,
Ferrari returned to a traditional front-engine V12 layout for its
flagship
sports car-not seen since the demise of the 365 GTB/4 "Daytona" in
1973. At the
550 Maranello's heart is a 48-valve, 5.5-liter V12 making 485
horsepower at
7,000 rpm, mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The latest
electronic
engine management systems allowed for unparalleled flexibility at
any speed
while the chassis had all-independent suspension with selectable,
adjustable
damping, speed-sensitive steering, and powerful disc brakes.
Pininfarina's
gorgeous styling is classically proportioned and emotive, yet
carefully honed in
the wind tunnel for aerodynamic efficiency. Styling details like
the large
bonnet air scoop and vents slash-cut behind the front wheel arches
recall the
great competizione Ferraris of the past, earning the 550 "future
classic" status
nearly from day one. Finished in the classic color combination of
Rosso Corsa
over Beige leather upholstery, this 1999 550 Maranello is a
cherished example
with just 19,000 miles recorded at cataloging. Delivered new in
California in
October 1998, it spent its early life in the Golden State before
going to
Illinois from 2008-2020, then on to Texas. The detailed and lengthy
clean CARFAX
Report notes regular service throughout its life, backed by
extensive service
records. Notable servicing included timing belt/major service done
in 2021, and
the fitment of a Capristo exhaust system. It is reported that the
front bumper
was repainted and partial PPF installed. Additionally, the sticky
buttons have
been addressed, and the dash leather replaced by an authorized
Ferrari service
center. It retains factory-original books, tool kit, tire inflator,
car cover,
and spare keys. Looking particularly crisp and lovingly maintained,
this is a
fantastic 550 Maranello to enjoy on the road, and a welcome
addition to any
Ferrari collector's stable, new or seasoned. Like the Daytona that
inspired it,
the Maranello is earning iconic status in its own right: A symbol
of Ferrari's
remarkable resurgence at the turn of the new millennium.
