For Sale at Auction: 1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello in Las Vegas, Nevada

Chassis No. ZFFZR49B000117925

Among the most coveted variants of Ferrari's 550 Maranello are the ultra-limited World Speed Record (WSR) and Michael Schumacher editions-factory-built, uniquely-specified takes on Maranello's V12 grand tourer, produced in just 33 and 19 examples respectively. Created for clients who wanted the same equipment from Carrozzeria Scaglietti without model-specific badging, a discreet series of approximately 49 550s were produced with many of these same exclusive options.

Chassis 117925 is a standout example of this uncommon specification, pairing the desirable Fiorano Handling Package (FHP) with the ultra-rare, leather-trimmed "Stradale" roll bar, an option more commonly associated with the WSR/Schumacher-badged cars. The Fiorano Handling Package sharpened the 550's character through a quicker steering ratio and revised rack, stiffer springs, a thicker rear anti-roll bar, upgraded brake pads, and revised ECU tuning, delivering a noticeably more responsive feel from Ferrari's last truly analog front-engine V12 GT. Completing the exterior are red-finished Ferrari-branded brake calipers and "Scuderia Ferrari" fender shields.

A European-market car finished in Nero (Black) over a matching Nero cabin featuring Daytona-style seats, chassis 117925 was delivered via Alfred Gohm GmbH on 7 February 2000 to its first owner in Germany. On 20 October 2004, the car sold to a Ferrari enthusiast in Spain where it was carefully maintained for the next 18 years, documented by a clean EU CARFAX Vehicle History report and numerous stamps in its service and warranty booklet. In January 2023, the car was acquired by its current, U.S.-based collector-owner and entrusted to respected Ferrari specialists in the Modena area-including Auto Elite, Carrozzeria Europa, and Leather by Design-for a comprehensive cosmetic and mechanical refurbishment to concours standards.

The cabin was retrimmed in black leather in May 2023, and the body was subsequently disassembled and refinished in its correct Nero finish in December 2023 with all seals and weatherstripping renewed. In September 2023, the suspension and braking systems were overhauled, while the 5.5-liter F133A V12 received a major service that included a thorough reseal, replacement timing belts, head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, and drive belts. In February 2024, the fluid in the six-speed manual transaxle was replaced, along with the installation of four new Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires later that year.

The 550 made its post-refurbishment debut at the REB Concours at Circolo del Golf Roma Acquasanta in June 2023, where it received the well-deserved "Roma Eternal Beauties" award in the Youngtimer category owing to its exceptional presentation. Chassis 117925 was then submitted for Ferrari's rigorous Classiche certification, culminating in its "Red Book" being issued in late 2024, which documents that the car retains its original engine, as-delivered color combination, and that the distinctive roll bar is factory equipment. Now displaying 84,417 kilometers at cataloging and accompanied by its Classiche Red Book, Schedoni leather tool kit, leather manuals folio, and car cover, this is, unquestionably, one of the finest and most compellingly specified 550 Maranellos available today.
