A proper front engined GT car and true ‘gentleman’s express’. With the introduction of the 550 Maranello in 1996, Ferrari 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 the early Seventies. Magazines were understandably enthusiastic: "The Maranello needs no excuses: it is right-minded, a return to traditional values, albeit values and standards that tower high above those set by the Daytona when it shuffled off to extinction a quarter of a century ago." The core of any Ferrari is its engine, and the 550 Maranello's 48-valve, 5.5-litre V12 developed 485bhp at 7,000rpm, giving over 100 horsepower more than the Daytona which went before. Ferrari had discovered long ago that providing optimum balance in a front-engined sports car necessitated the use of a rear transaxle, and the 550 Maranello's came with six speeds feeding power through a limited slip differential. The power train was housed in a tubular steel chassis, to which was attached aluminium panels, while the all-independent suspension incorporated dual-mode damping, changeable by the driver, and was controlled by speed-sensitive power steering.

Styled by Pininfarina, like its illustrious Daytona predecessor, the 550 Maranello was similarly proportioned, adopting the classical combination of long bonnet, small cabin and truncated tail. The body's aerodynamics were developed in the wind tunnel where hours of testing ensured that the minimum of drag was combined with constant downforce regardless of set up, an important consideration in a 200mph road car. Details such as the bonnet air scoop and hot air outlets behind the front wheel arches recalled the great competition Ferrari of the past, while the tail incorporated Ferrari's characteristic twin circular lights. Featuring a luxurious leather interior, this new generation Gran Turismo recalled and honoured its legendary forebears with assurance. T. + 44 (0)1285 831 488 E.
