Thorough service work and reconditioning completed by Arizona-based Ferrari specialists Italian Design & Racing (IDR) ensures out-of-the-box competition condition. An original artwork by noted Motorsport artist Samantha Zimmermann featuring the 550 GTS—painted onsite at the 2024 Velocity Invitational—will be included in the auction alongside the vehicle.

Never campaigned by the factory, Ferrari’s 550 Maranello presented a platform ripe for privateer development. The car’s rear-wheel-drive layout centered around a 5.5L 48-valve V12 producing 478hp and 419lb-ft of torque. Solely configured with a six-speed manual gearbox, the aluminum-bodied 550 further benefited from double wishbone suspension and limited-slip grip. Despite comfortable packaging as a sporting grand-tourer, the car’s 7,000rpm rev-range and 199mph top speed suggested closed course capability by design.
