2000 | Ferrari 550 Maranello
Overview
The Ferrari 550 Maranello, introduced in 1996, marked a bold return to Ferrari’s roots, reviving the front-engine V12 grand tourer configuration reminiscent of the legendary Daytona. Designed by Pininfarina, the 550's sleek and muscular body is visually stunning and boasts incredible aerodynamic efficiency. Powered by a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V12 producing 478 horsepower and 419 lb-ft of torque, the 550 Maranello was a definitive statement of Ferrari's expertise in blending luxury with breathtaking performance. Its six-speed gated manual transmission further cemented its status as a purist's dream, offering an unparalleled connection between driver and machine.
The 550 Maranello carried Ferrari's heritage forward, enhancing the driving experience with modern advancements in suspension and chassis dynamics. With a top speed of 199 mph and acceleration from 0-60 mph in just 4.2 seconds, it was one of the fastest cars of its era, combining blistering straight-line performance with nimble handling. The advanced independent suspension system, along with electronically adjustable dampers, ensured that the car delivered an impeccable balance of comfort and control. Inside, the hand-stitched leather interior provided an environment of sophistication, while subtle race-bred details reminded drivers of the car's pedigree.
