1996 Ferrari 550 Maranello

DESCRIPTION

We are delighted to offer for sale this superb Ferrari 550 Maranello, a beautifully presented left-hand drive example of one of the most admired modern classic Ferraris.

Produced by Ferrari between 1996 and 2001, the 550 Maranello marked the return of the traditional front-engined V12 grand tourer layout for the marque and is now widely regarded as one of the definitive modern Ferraris. Elegant, understated and immensely capable, the 550 perfectly balances long-distance usability with genuine performance and driver engagement.

Power comes from Ferrari’s magnificent 5.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 engine, producing approximately 485 BHP, paired with a traditional manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. Delivering effortless performance, a glorious soundtrack and beautifully balanced handling, the 550 Maranello has become increasingly sought-after amongst collectors and enthusiasts alike.

This particular example benefits from having recently undergone a substantial programme of expenditure, ensuring the car presents and performs exactly as one would hope. Significant recent investment of this nature is especially important on a V12 Ferrari of this era and gives excellent confidence to the next owner.

The 550’s understated styling has aged exceptionally well and remains refreshingly elegant when compared to many modern supercars, while the cabin offers a wonderfully analogue driving experience that is becoming increasingly rare.
