In 1996, at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany, Ferrari unveiled its new sports car, the Ferrari 550 Maranello. The car was produced until 2001 when it was replaced by the 575M Maranello. 3,083 cars left the production line and one of them, the 2000 Ferrari 550 Maranello, is up for auction.
550 Maranello is powered by a 5.5-liter quad-cam F133A V12 engine with 478 hp (357 kW) and 419 lb-ft (568 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. It reaches 62 mph in 4.4 seconds with a top speed of 199 mph (320 km/h). It is mounted on 19-inch Novitec double-spoke alloy wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires.
This car is finished in Rosso Corsa, has been well maintained and is in good condition. It is equipped with fog lights, a hood scoop, a front spoiler, front fender vents, Scuderia Ferrari fender shields, quad exhaust tips exiting through the rear bumper cover and red-finished Ferrari-branded calipers over cross-drilled and ventilated rotors at all four corners.
Inside, the seats are trimmed in Beige Tradizione leather with black accents. Beige leather covers the lower part of the dashboard, door panels and center console, while the steering wheel is wrapped in black leather. Additional equipment includes automatic climate control, electric windows, an Alpine stereo, a hi-fi sound system, a diamond-quilted parcel shelf, and rear luggage straps. Signs of wear are noted on the outer driver’s seat bolster. The clock shows 16,774 miles.
The car has a clean Carfax report that shows no accidents or other damage. It comes with the owner’s manual, tools, keys, a car cover and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The auction ends on December 27th and the current highest bid is $120,000 USD.
