Description

The Ferrari 550 Maranello is a traditional front-engined V12 Grand Tourer. The 5.5 litre V12 engine with 4 valves per cylinder with dual overhead cams and variable length intake manifold produces 485 bhp at 7000 rpm. The love for early 2000s Ferraris is increasing so don’t miss this well maintained 550 Maranello.

This superb example in ‘Grigio Titanio’ with a light ice grey leather interior was delivered new via Sportgarage Leirer in Switzerland. Ever since then the car was maintained at the official Ferrari dealerships, first in Switzerland and then via Germany in Holland. We acquired the car 6 years ago for the current owner and again no expenses were spared on maintenance. The sticky switches were treated as were all other ‘faults’ the Maranello in general has. A new clutch was fitted as well as a set of new tyres.

Most recently the car was serviced in January 2024 at the official Ferrari dealer. All original manuals and leather pouch come with the car, as well as a nice file with invoices The car is in superb condition, does not have a scratch and most of the paint is original. The interior is near faultless and has ‘Daytona’ style seats (have a look at the details).

Having tested the car for 75 km we can say there is not a rattle or sound in the car apart from the 12 cilinders and the standard exhaust system. The gearbox is a delight and the engine pulls like a bear!

The car has its full Ferrari dealer service history and original service book. The car has just 69.000 km registered (just over 41.000 mls. from new).


The car has Dutch registration papers, is road registered and ready to enjoy!

Price is Euro 145.000,-.

Model history

Since 1973, when the traditional front-engined 365 GTB/4 Daytona had been replaced by the mid-engined Berlinetta Boxer, Ferrari’s top-of-the-line 12-cylinder 2-seater model had used a mid-mounted 180° V12 flat engine. The Berlinetta Boxer had later been developed into the Testarossa, whose last evolution was the 1994 F512 M. Under the presidency of Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, who took office in 1991, the F512 M replacement was developed as a traditional front-engined V12 grand tourer.

After a 30 months of development, the Ferrari 550 Maranello was presented in July 1996 at the Nürburgring circuit in Germany. Pininfarina executed both the exterior and interior design. Frame and main engine components were shared with the 2+2 Ferrari 456, although at 2,500 mm the 550’s wheelbase was 100 mm shorter. The car used a transaxle layout, with the 6-speed manual gearbox located at the back, in-line with the driven wheels. The model number refers to total engine displacement (5.5 litres) and the model name Maranello refers to the town where the Ferrari headquarters are located.

The engine is a 5.5 litre V12 with 4 valves per cylinder with dual overhead cams and variable length intake manifold. It produces 485 BHP at 7000 RPM and torque is 568.1 Nm at 5000 RPM. The body is an all aluminium construction to keep the weight down. The 550 Maranello can accelerate to 100 kp/h in an impressive 4,2 seconds, with a max top speed of 320 kilometers per hour.

The 27 November 1996 issue of the British magazine “Autocar” featured a road test with the car, where they recorded a 0-60 mph time of 4.6 seconds, a 0-100 mph time of 10.1 seconds, quoting the manufacturer’s claimed top speed of 199 mph. They also proclaimed it “Britain’s Best Driver’s Car 1998″, and in 1999 said of it “it continues to be the best GT on the block”.

The 5.5 L V12 engine won the ‘over 4 litre’ class of the International Engine of the Year award for 2000 and 2001. EVO magazine awarded the Ferrari 550 Maranello the award ‘Best Sportscar of the 1990’s’. In total Ferrari produced only 3083 cars.
