1998 FERRARI F355 SPIDER, showroom condition in a very rare and desirable color combination of Titanium metallic over dark red interior with a black top and contrasting red Ferrari-Brembo brake calipers. The optional titanium paint was only offered on later model 355 Ferrari F355 (e.g., not available 1995-1996) and this is one of only 10 F355's make with the color combination of Grigio Titanio and red leather.

 

Lots of upgrades including $10,000 spent on upgraded 3-PIECE custom HRE wheels with substantially wider front and rear tires, a sweet sounding Capristo exhaust, Momo steering wheel (original wheel included), MACarbon carbon fibre door sills as well as upgraded OEM Ferrari disks and brakes. The car also has clear bra installed. The car also comes with a Challenge grill installed and the original (painted) grill included in the sale.

 

The major service engine-out service was completed in March 2012 at 21,400 miles.

 

The car comes with the original manuals, toolkit as well as the original Ferrari car and wheel cover.

It was meticulously maintained and garaged. The car was only been hand washed weekly and hand waxed every 3 months.

 

This is a stunning looking car that runs well. A great investment as the F355 is now at the bottom of its depreciation curve and, if you have been watching the market, they're now appreciating.

 

According to most all polls, the majority of Ferrari owners feel the F355 is the best looking of all the modern V8 Ferraris (360-430), at least until the $300,000 458.

 

Also important is the fact that this is a six speed. Ferrari is not making them anymore and you don't have to worry about a $14K hydraulic pump failing. There is NO comparison; the F1 in a 355 is not good.

 

Ferrari manufactured more than 13,000 360 Modenas while they produced just 2,664 F355 Spiders for the entire world. That's it. A total of just 2,664 Spiders. This rarity combined with its stellar reviews and that Formula 1 race car sound, assures the F355 of collector car status. It's not all that long ago Dinos were $30k. Now they're five to seven times that sum. Legendary racer Phil Hill said the F355 is one of the top ten Ferraris of all time.

Ferrari SF-15T will look to reclaim former F1 glories in 2015

Sat, Jan 31 2015

The parade of cars for the 2015 Formula One World Championship continues apace, as Scuderia Ferrari has unveiled the vehicle that fans of the Italian team will doubtlessly be hoping drivers Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen will pilot to victory. After the questionable styling of last year's vehicles, this new Ferrari continues the trend of more aesthetically pleasing designs. The vacuum-cleaner-like snout of last year's F-14T has been replaced with a longer, rounded bill that feeds more gracefully towards the cockpit. The new front end is arguably the most noticeable change for 2015, while changes elsewhere on the open-wheeler's body are mere evolutions of last year's design. In fact, that's kind of the theme around the SF-15T. The brake-by-wire system, clutch and gear ratios (which are locked after the first race) have all been optimized based on last season's experiences, while the weight of the car has increased by just 11 kilograms, as per sporting regulations. Take a look at Ferrari's batch of images showing its new challenger, and let us know whether you think this new design will fare better than last year's troubled F-14T. TECHNICAL FEATURE OF THE SF-15T The SF15-T the sixty first car built by Ferrari specifically to take part in the Formula 1 World Championship. It is the second car made by Ferrari since the reintroduction of turbo engines in 2014. The first year of these new regulations was extremely challenging for the Scuderia and the lessons learned have been applied vigorously to the SF15-T to create a car that is in every respect a large step forwards with respect to the F14-T. Chassis The most striking visual difference between the SF15-T and its predecessor is the lowering of the front end of the car in accordance with the change of regulations for the 2015 season. After a few seasons of rather unappealing aesthetics, the 2015 rules permit the SF15-T an attractive nose shape which also brings excellent aerodynamic performance. Aside from the nose area, the regulations for 2015 are largely unchanged. This has given the Team a stable base on which to engineer a much stronger chassis than the year before: A casual glance at the back of the car reveals a much more tightly packaged rear end which allows more downforce to be extracted from the critical surfaces around the rear of the car. The rear wing family has been extensively redesigned to deliver stable performance in corners while producing a larger DRS effect on the straights.

Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton buys LaFerrari

Tue, Mar 24 2015

Lewis Hamilton has driven some of the fastest cars ever devised, like the McLaren MP4-23 with which he won the 2008 Formula One World Championship, the Mercedes W05 with which he won the title last year, and the new W06 he drove to the checkered flag in the season opener earlier this month. But what does he drive in his spare time? According to the latest reports quoting his boss Toto Wolff, the reigning champ celebrated his win at the Australian Grand Prix by ordering a new LaFerrari. The seven-figure, 950-horsepower hybrid hypercar may be made by a rival manufacturer to the team for which he drives, but then his employers at Mercedes don't (for the time being at least) build anything that competes in the segment – unlike his former employers at McLaren that offer the similarly potent P1. Something tells us he won't be invited to drive it at Fiorano, though - which is something his rivals Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen and Sebastian Vettel have all had the chance to do. Hamilton has a long-established penchant for driving twelve-cylinder exotic supercars in his spare time. At his previous place of work, he was promised an exceedingly rare McLaren F1 LM – valued at some $4 million – but only if he won three world titles for the Woking-based team. He also owns a Pagani Zonda that was made specifically for him with a 760-horsepower engine (supplied, naturally, by Mercedes) and a six-speed manual – complete with a clutch pedal, which (apart from starting off the line) is something he doesn't usually get to operate during working hours.

Ferrari 458 Speciale A trots out its 597 sun-drenched ponies [w/video]

Thu, Oct 2 2014

To say that Ferrari has made some powerful drop-tops over the years would be like saying the Pope has been known to make a couple of blessings here and there. There was the F50, the 575 Superamerica and the 599 SA Aperta, to name just a few. But this is the most powerful Spider it has ever made. Taking its curtain call at the Paris Motor Show today is the new Ferrari 458 Speciale A – successor to the F430-based 16M Scuderia Spider and lovechild of the 458 Spider and 458 Speciale. That means it's got the same 4.5-liter V8 – all 597 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of it – as the Speciale coupe, but with the folding aluminum roof from the Spider. Best of both worlds, as they say - especially with a 0-62 time quoted at three seconds flat. But since Maranello will only produce less than 500 of them, you'd better check it out in our gallery of live shots above. This content is hosted by a third party.
