Powered by a front engined 5.5 liter Dual overhead cam V12 that produces 479 horsepower that passes through a 6 speed manual transmission to a rear-mounted transaxle, the Maranello is a Ferrari as Enzo intended. The cars that made Ferrari famous in the 50’s and 60’s are the real heritage of the 550. Imagine a 1959 250 GT, then look at this 550. You can see the evolution and, upon driving, you can feel the heritage. V12, front engine, rear drive. The design and aluminum body are from Scaglietti. Bella, magnifico!
It is interesting to note that all manual gated shifter Ferraris are outpacing the F1 paddle shift cars by 20 to 30 %. This particular Ferrari is a two owner car with an immaculate Car Fax, possessing all of it’s original books, records, tools and manuals.
