Japan Used Ferrari 550 for Sale

The Ferrari 550 Maranello (Type F133) manufactured by Ferrari from 1996 to 2002. The 550 Maranello is a front-engined V12 2-seat grand tourer. The Ferrari 550 Maranello was presented in July 1996 at the Nürburgring racing circuit in Germany. It replaced the Ferrari F512 M.

The 550 Maranello marked Ferrari's return to a front-engine, rear-wheel drive layout for its 2-seater 12-cylinder model, 23 years after the 365 GTB/4 Daytona had been replaced by the mid-engined Berlinetta Boxer. The 550 used a front-engine, rear-wheel drive transaxle layout, with the 6-speed gearbox located at the rear axle together with the limited slip differential.

The Ferrari 550 model name referred to the 5.5-litres total engine displacement in decilitres and to the town of Maranello, home to the Ferrari headquarters and factory. In 2002 the 550 was replaced by the 575M Maranello, not an all-new model but rather an all-around improved version of the car, fitted with a larger 5.75-litre engine.

Ferrari introduced a convertible version of the 550 at the Paris Motor Show in 2000. This Barchetta Pininfarina was a true roadster with no real convertible top provided.
