1999 Ferrari 550 Maranello
Coachwork by Pininfarina
Chassis no. ZFFZR49B000117416

• Delivered new in Madrid, Spain.
• 485hp V12 with a manual gearbox
• Recently serviced

With the introduction of the 550 Maranello in 1997, Ferrari had returned to its tradition of building front-engined V12 sports cars, resurrecting a line that had remained dormant since the demise of the 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' in 1974. The heart of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 550 Maranello's 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 developed 485bhp at 7,000rpm, some 100-or-so horsepower more than the Daytona's. Ferrari had discovered long ago that providing optimum balance in a front-engined sports car necessitated the use of a rear transaxle, and the Maranello's came with six speeds. The power train was housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which was attached aluminium coachwork, while the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode (normal/sports) damping, switch-selectable by the driver, which was complemented by speed-sensitive power-assisted steering.

This 550 Maranello was delivered new on October 28, 1999 by Ferrari's Testarossa Cars dealership in Madrid. It is said to have spent time in Morocco before joining a French collection in October 2012. Since then, it has been maintained by LDO Racing in Triel-sur-Seine, an establishment well known to Ferrari enthusiasts. Since 2024 it has been with its current Danish owner, but it still comes with its French registration documents.

The car sports the iconic Rosso Corsa livery, the varnish of which has been sun-damaged in places. The interior features beige and black leather on the dashboard. The current owner has since he purchased the car in 2024 partially refurbished the interior, and it comes freshly serviced. It now has approximately 58,700 km on the clock.

The car comes with its book pack, various maintenance invoices French registration paper work.

• Livrée neuve à Madrid, en Espagne
• V12 de 485 ch avec boîte de vitesses manuelle
• Récemment révisée

Avec le lancement de la 550 Maranello en 1997, Ferrari est revenue à sa tradition de construction de voitures de sport à moteur avant V12, ressuscitant une gamme qui était restée en sommeil depuis la disparition de la 365 GTB/4 « Daytona » en 1974. Le cœur de toute Ferrari, c'est son moteur, et le V12 de 5,5 litres à 48 soupapes de la 550 Maranello développait 485 ch à 7 000 tr/min, soit une centaine de chevaux de plus que celui de la Daytona. Ferrari avait compris depuis longtemps que pour obtenir un équilibre optimal sur une voiture de sport à moteur avant, il fallait recourir à une boîte de vitesses transaxiale à l'arrière, et celle de la Maranello comptait six rapports. Le groupe motopropulseur était logé dans un châssis tubulaire en acier, auquel était fixée une carrosserie en aluminium, tandis que la suspension entièrement indépendante intégrait un amortissement à deux modes (normal/sport), sélectionnable par le conducteur à l'aide d'un commutateur, complété par une direction assistée sensible à la vitesse.

Cette 550 Maranello a été livrée neuve le 28 octobre 1999 par le concessionnaire Ferrari Testarossa Cars de Madrid. Elle aurait séjourné au Maroc avant d'intégrer une collection française en octobre 2012. Depuis lors, elle a été entretenue par LDO Racing à Triel-sur-Seine, un établissement bien connu des passionnés de Ferrari. Depuis 2024, elle appartient à son propriétaire danois actuel, mais elle est toujours accompagnée de ses documents d'immatriculation français.

La voiture arbore la livrée emblématique Rosso Corsa, dont la peinture a été partiellement altérée par le soleil à certains endroits. L'intérieur est habillé de cuir beige et noir sur le tableau de bord. Depuis qu'il l'a acquise en 2024, le propriétaire actuel a partiellement rénové l'intérieur, et le véhicule vient de subir une révision complète. Il affiche désormais environ 58 700 km au compteur.

La voiture est vendue avec son dossier d'entretien, diverses factures d'entretien et les papiers d'immatriculation français.
