1998 | Ferrari 550 Maranello

Designed to succeed the iconic F512M, the 550 Maranello was unveiled at the 1996 Geneva Motor Show, capturing enthusiasts' hearts with its sleek lines and powerful V12 engine. The 550 Maranello boasted a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, a departure from Ferrari's recent mid-engine designs. The chassis featured aluminum construction, contributing to a perfect 50/50 weight distribution, ensuring agile handling and exceptional stability at high speeds. Inside, the 550 Maranello exuded luxury with hand-stitched leather upholstery, modern amenities, and ample creature comforts, making it an ideal choice for long-distance journeys in unparalleled style and performance.
