Detailed history for this Ferrari outlined below.
This is perhaps the rarest and most striking of all F355 Ferrari Spiders.
While there are literally thousands of red, yellow and black 355s this is the only classic Le Mans blue over
Bordeaux 355 Spider known to exist.
This is a classic color combination that was popular on classic Ferrari, Lamborghini and Maserati from the golden
era of motoring and remains so, such so that when Ferrari unveiled its hyper rare F60, of which only 10 of the $2.5
million dollar cars were ever built, it was a blue car with a red interior…much like the 1950s California Spider
with the same color combination.
Presently on display at the Petersen Museum is the latest Bugatti (nearly $3 million) and it is painted in a nearly
identical color combination.
When Ferrari/Maserati designer Jason Castriota, who designed the 599, Maserati Birdcage 75th and the Maserati
GranTurismo, decided to build a million dollar one-off 599 for his father he too chose blue over red for his
personal creation.
This Ferrari features the very expensive ($10,000 I’m told) option of the upper dash and steering wheel in red
leather along with dark navy blue carpets that contrast beautifully yet subtlety with the red interior and
complement the matching blue exterior.
The $7,000 HRE wheels really compliment this Ferrari’s color combination while giving much better grip and
braking thanks to the larger front and rear high performance tires.
The typical shrinking leather dash on the F355 was just addressed with thousands spent on new leather. Similarly,
the red leather cover for the top is also new ($1500). The red leather interior, including the very expensive
OPTION of a full red leather dash and matching steering wheel (said to be a $10,000 option), is in excellent
condition as are the beautifully contrasting navy carpets with matching Ferrari original navy floor mats.
A full engine out service was performed less than 1000 miles ago.
New hood and trunk struts were installed.
There are no sticky parts.
Gorgeous $1,000 carbon fiber door sill trim panels have been fitted.
(The blue you see on the left side of the engine panel is merely a reflection from the bar: The panel is actually
black and matches the panel on the right side.)
This Ferrari 355 is in exceptional show condition.
The 355 is appreciating and on its way to collector car status. ROAD & TRACK listed it as one of the 10 best
looking mid-engined Ferraris of all time, saying it sounds “incredible” and that its “styling has aged well,
perhaps looking better than when it was first introduced.”
The great Phil Hill described it as one of the 10 best Ferraris ever built.
Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson said it was “the nicest car I have ever ever driven.” He then said he came back
from that drive and decided “I have to have one, I have to have one. I have to.” He then went out and bought
one for himself. After buying it he said “it’s still the best car I’ve ever driven.”
Richard Hammond recently described the 355 in glowing terms as well in an article (below), echoing Road and
Track’s sentiment, stating: “If anything, the 355 has somehow got more attractive in the 19 years since it
arrived.”The F355 Spider is the last beautiful Ferrari. Subsequent stallions are modern and dramatic, the F355 is eternally
gorgeous, like Brunelleschi's doors and sunsets in Viareggio. The Iliad would still make sense if you said the
Greeks took to ship after a Trojan keyed Menelaus' F355. You cannot say the same about the 348, or even the 458
(though we do love it so). “Road & Track said the F355 had "probably the best sports-car engine ever made."
Jeremy Clarkson said it was the best car he'd ever driven. That owner who said he wouldn't recommend it? He's had
two, and still uses one as his daily driver.”

This computer-generated Ferrari 250 GTO carved from marble rocks
Thu, 06 Feb 2014The Ferrari 250 GTO ranks as perhaps the most valuable production car ever made. In just the past two years, units of the ultimate '60s sports car have sold for $32 million, $35 million and maybe as high as $52 million. With just 39 of them ever assembled, these Ferrari owners are among a rarefied class of an already top-tier class of car collectors. So once you collect the ultimate car, then what do you do? How about buy a scale model of it hewn from a single block of Arabescato marble by stone specialist Lapicida?
Interestingly, no sculptor developed a leathery callouses on his or her hands over the hundreds of man hours surely necessary to create this work of art, nor were dozens of hand tools worn to the nub in the pursuit of this homage to Italian performance. To create the 1:3.6 replica of a 1962/1963 GTO, Lapicida simply laser-scanned an actual GTO and fine-tuned the resulting data in 3D modeling software. Then, the file was sent to a computer-controlled, five-axis mill to shape the marble, which was selected because the veining gave the illusion of speed. Finally, it was hand-finished to make sure the details were as crisp as possible. The completed model measures 47.2-inches long, 18.1-inches wide and 13.4-inches tall and retails for a tidy £30,000 - over $49,000 USD.
Impressive though it may be, it seems hard to imagine spending that sort of money on a car that you can't sit in or drive down the road. Then again, if you can afford to own a real 250 GTO, it's barely pocket change. Lapicida also takes commissions, so if you want a marble model of your car, they're happy to do it. Then again, if you just need your foyer retiled or your personal chef's is demanding an upgraded kitchen, they'll do that, too. Scroll down to get the full details on the model.
$64M Ferrari 250 GTO could be a fake
Mon, 04 Aug 2014Remember that Ferrari 250 GTO that we reported on last week, supposedly listed on mobile.de for $64 million? Well, don't go putting down your deposit just yet, because it might be a fake.
According to noted Ferrari expert Marcel Massini, the vehicle listed on the German used-car website is a replica. "I can tell you that with 100 percent certainty," Massini told CNBC. "I know where all of these cars are today. And this is not one of the original GTOs."
Of course "replica" is a relative term when it comes to 250 GTOs. Other authentic classic Ferraris are sometimes rebodied to look like a GTO, but while they're not real GTOs, they are real Ferraris. We reported on such an "Evocazione" example (pictured above) based on a '65 Ferrari 330 GT a few years ago, around the same time that Matt Farah came across one based on a 365 GTB/4 Daytona alongside a Ford GT as well.
Top Gear brings together LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918
Mon, Jan 26 2015Earlier this month, Top Gear released a brief video of the comparison test between three hybrid hypercars we'd all been waiting for: the Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1 and Porsche 918 Spyder. The story was done by the print magazine and not by the television show, and the video they released was barely over half a minute long, reserving the full version for subscribers of the iPad edition. Now the British mag has put the full video on YouTube, and while it's still only a minute and a half long – three times the length of the previous teaser – it's packed with electrified exotic goodness. The test surely took some serious wrangling to put together, and though the metal (or carbon fiber, as the case may be) was apparently furnished mostly by private owners, to hear Top Gear tell it, the manufacturers – Ferrari, McLaren and Porsche – were eager and helpful in putting the showdown together. For the final conclusions, we're afraid you'll still have to buy the magazine, but for a rare chance to watch all these three world-beaters on the same road at the same time, you'll want to scope out this latest video clip.
