540 bhp, 5,748 cc 65-degree V-12 engine, six-speed F1 electro-hydraulic transmission, front and rear independent suspension with coil springs, telescopic shock absorbers with adaptive damping, and anti-roll bars, and four-wheel disc brakes. Wheelbase: 2,489 mm
Upon its launch, the Ferrari 550 Maranello, a modern-day successor to the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, proved to be an overwhelming success, as it was capable of crossing continents at high speed whilst also cosseting its driver and passenger in comfort and with a boot full of luggage. Five years after the introduction of the 550 Maranello, Ferrari unveiled the 575M Maranello, which offered a range of upgrades over its predecessor.
The displacement of its V-12 engine was increased by 250 cubic centimetres to 5,748 cubic centimetres, hence the designation of 575. This brought about a healthy increase in power and torque, giving the 575M a top speed of 202 mph. Larger brakes were fitted to help reign in the speed, while there was also improved weight distribution to an even 50/50, which improved the already capable handling. For the first time in a front-engined V-12 model, buyers also had the opportunity to outfit their new car with an F1-style transmission, which proved to be a very popular option.
This stunning example, with the desirable F1 gearbox, was delivered to its first owner in 2002 and is today presented in impeccable condition. Previously owned by a former director of Ferrari, its stablemates included an F40, F50, and Enzo. Presented in subtle yet incredibly attractive Argento Nürburgring and complemented by elegant dark blue leather upholstery and carpets, this car has travelled just 590 kilometres during its pampered life. Serviced regularly by Motor of Modena, invoices for which are included on file, it is accompanied by its original books and tools. It is clear that there are few, if any, finer examples of this stunning and extremely rapid 200 mph-plus Ferrari grand tourer.
