The Model: Had Ferrari named the 355 following the previous formula
it would have been the 358, but the engine builders in Maranello
thought their revolutionary new five-valve head design should have
its time in the spotlight. �The additional intake valve did crank
power in the flat-plane V-8 up to 355 HP. �The longitudinal V8 is
nestled comfortably behind the cockpit in one of the three body
styles available. Initially, the designers at Pininfarina offered
only two body styles, the coupe and the targa, with the rag-topped
spider coming along in 1995.
Drivability was the focus for the newest pony in the Italian's
stable. The monocoque chassis used tubular subframe and independent
front and rear suspension. �The 355 would also feature power
steering to add to the streetability of their new sports car.
The Car: The Rosso Corsa paint, accented by like colored brake
calipers, shows very nicely, with plenty of shine left for a new
owner to enjoy. �This well kept prancing pony only shows 4640 miles
on the odometer. �Inside the tan Italian-leather seats show an
appropriate little wear, appropriate for a gently used low-mile
exotic. �Running perfectly and ready to serve this Ferrari is
everything you want in Italian mechanicals. If you are a collector
or are just ready to dip your toe in the world of exotics this 355
is ready to be driven, but will certainly appreciate as an
investment car.
