The Model: When introduced in 1996 the 550 Maranello was touted to
be Ferraris exclusive model. The name itself tells the story, 550
being representative of the 5.5-liter V-12 engine, while Maranello
referred to the town where Ferrari headquarters are located, a
designation that was certainly endearing to the Ferrari executives.
A front-engine car, the 550 was given a 48 valve dual overhead cam,
variable length intake, naturally aspirated V12 monster, cranking
out 485HP. The fire breathing engine out front was balanced with a
six-speed transaxle in the rear, all connected by a tubular steel
frame and covered in a lightweight aluminum body. This package
Ferrari put together for their most exclusive customers was nothing
short of phenomenal. The result was a forgiving GT car that has
room for your golf clubs in the trunk.
The Car: Sporting Argento Metallic (Silver) paint that continues to
provide luster and protection for this rare aluminum auto, this
17-year-old prancing horse has been well-maintained throughout its
life. The interior of the car is just as well maintained as the
rest. The black leather seats show light use but still retains its
supple Italian leather finish. The appointments on the inside of
this car remain in admirable condition. The 6-speed manual
transmission and the clutch are working properly, ready to put the
almost 500 HP to the wheels. This Ferrari is a suburb example of
what Ferrari had to offer their clients in the late 1990's and into
the 2000's and is a great opportunity to get into a quarter million
dollar vehicle at a much lower entry point.
