As it entered production in 1996, the Ferrari 550 Maranello had great shoes to fill. The new model effectively replaced the final iteration of the fabled Testarossa and was the spiritual successor to the Daytona as Ferrari’s flagship 12-cylinder, two-seat grand tourer—albeit with a classic front-engine, rear-wheel drive configuration in place of the prior mid-engined setup. The 5.5-liter V-12 was rated at 485 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, while a gated manual six-speed gearbox was the only transmission offered.
The 550 Maranello’s chassis featured electronically variable suspension, ventilated disc brakes at all four corners, and 18-inch five-spoke wheels. It soon became known for its performance potential, setting three production car speed records in 1998—covering 100 kilometers at an average speed of 304 km/h, 100 miles at an average speed of 190.2 mph, and driving one hour at an average speed of 184 mph—all of which would stand until 2002. The 550 would achieve 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds, 100 mph in 10.2 seconds, and 150 mph in 23.5 seconds on its way to a 199-mph top speed.
On offer is a 2001 Ferrari 550 Maranello finished in the highly desirable combination of Grigio Alloy over a dark blue leather interior. According to the window sticker copy on file, the grand tourer is lavishly appointed with aluminum colored brake calipers, Daytona-style seats, colored upper dashboard and roof, a colored steering wheel, an upholstered rear leather shelf, and the $2,364 modular wheel option manufactured by Speedline for Ferrari. Perhaps the most important interior feature—and the one most sought-after by dedicated enthusiasts today—is the six-speed gated manual shifter that sits between both occupants, allowing the driver to have ultimate control over the sonorous V-12.
The Ferrari is documented by a series of invoices dating back to 2004. The most recent service was completed in 2023 and included the installation of a new cam belt, fluid service, and a filter replacement. Notably, the common sticky button issue has been remedied, allowing the interior to present and function as intended by Ferrari. Sparingly used over the past several decades, just 5,732 miles have been logged onto the odometer at the time of cataloguing. In addition, the vehicle will be accompanied by its owner’s books in their leather pouches, tools, and a factory car cover.
As years go by, the 550 Maranello endures as a cherished Ferrari which saw the firm return to a beloved traditional grand touring formula. With so few miles and a manual transmission, the example on offer will continue to be coveted by Ferrari enthusiasts.
