1996 Ferrari F355 GTS 6-Speed Euro
Overview
Few Italian sports cars capture the essence of Maranello’s analog golden era quite like this 1996 Ferrari F355 GTS. Finished in timeless Rosso Corsa over Nero leather upholstery, its desirable semi-convertible configuration lends a removable body-color roof panel for open-air motoring with coupe-like rigidity and styling. A storied exhaust note, thrilling performance, and the added cachet of a gated six-speed manual transaxle offer this European-market example as a peak ‘90s post car. Imported to the United States in 2022, this mid-engine Berlinetta makes the cut for serious collectors or enthusiasts alike.
At its heart lies a longitudinally mounted 3.5-liter V8 sending power to the rear wheels aided by a limited-slip differential. An engine-out timing belt major service (2017) plus significant maintenance in 2022 lend well-sorted mechanical condition. The car rides on 18” alloy wheels wearing Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires mounted over four-corner disc brakes w/Black-painted Ferrari calipers.
The cabin is appointed in Nero leather with embossed Cavallino headrests, complemented by striking Red carpets and matching mats. Amenities include power-adjustable seats, air conditioning, power windows, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, drilled aluminum pedals, and an aftermarket Pioneer AM/FM/CD stereo. Accompanied by a clean Carfax history report, this Ferrari is offered with two key fobs, factory literature, purchase documentation, service records, a leather-bound tool kit, and a battery charger.
