*Ferrari F355 GTB in the Most Desirable Specification
*
For the true enthusiast, the Ferrari F355 GTB requires little introduction. Yet it remains remarkable to encounter an example that not only reaffirms its iconic status but also presents in such a rare, original, and fully documented condition. Delivered new in 1996 by the official Dutch dealer Kroymans/Munsterhuis, this Ferrari embodies everything Maranello stood for in the 1990s: pure driving emotion, uncompromising engineering, and design that continues to stir the soul even today.


*Factory-Specified with a Manual Transmission
*
This car left the factory equipped with the coveted six-speed gated manual—the only proper choice for those who want to experience Ferrari in its purest form. Every shift feels mechanically precise, executed with the fluid accuracy unique to this era. The clutch is notably well-balanced: smooth and light enough for regular use, yet with just the right resistance to remind the driver that this is a true driver’s car. Steering is razor-sharp, direct, and communicative—exactly as one expects from a Ferrari honed at Fiorano, where it lapped faster than the then-dominant 512 TR.


*Meticulously Maintained
*
The level of care this example has received is evident in every respect. No expense has ever been spared on maintenance. Recently, a major service was carried out, including the crucial timing belt replacement—an essential investment for both reliability and peace of mind on the F355. All servicing has been performed exclusively by official dealers and recognized specialists. The complete maintenance history is present, with stamped booklets and invoices. Few Ferraris offer this degree of transparency and trustworthiness.


*Classic Color Combination
*
The exterior is finished in the ultimate Ferrari shade: Rosso Corsa. Paired with a black leather interior, the result is timeless. Pininfarina’s design—with its flowing lines and subtle detailing—remains one of the most beautiful ever to leave Maranello. The proportions are perfectly balanced, and the clean GTB body style makes it more focused and purist than its GTS or Spider counterparts.

Beneath the rear deck lies the beating heart of this machine: the naturally aspirated 3.5-liter V8 with five valves per cylinder, directly inspired by Ferrari’s Formula 1 technology of the era. It produces 380 horsepower at 8,250 rpm—figures that, nearly thirty years on, are still impressive. The engine is a musical masterpiece, from its growl at low revs to a symphonic crescendo above 7,000 rpm. It is that unmatched blend of technical precision and emotional drama that secures the F355’s place as a true pinnacle in Ferrari history.
