Up for sale is a Southern California Ferrari F355 Spider in spectacular condition with just over 15k miles!  This car is a classic on the rise!  (See Richard Hammond’s commentary below.)

FRESH TIMING BELT SERVICES WILL BE INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE!
 
This Ferrari 355 Spider features the classic Argento Silver exterior with a Nero black leather interior.  
 
This F355 Spider features a new clutch, new valve guides, new brake master cylinder.  The valve guides were replaced at the engine out service with a documented history of receipts from prior owners and photographs of that major service and valve guide replacement. 
 
Also included is the folder of receipts going back many years documenting this car’s history. 
 
With the car comes the Ferrari tool kit and owners manual, as shown in the photograph, along with upgraded Pirelli tires with just 1k miles on the front tires and upgraded 295mm rear tires (same size as used on the 550 Maranello). 
 
The paint on this Ferrari is nothing short of stunning. People think it is a new car because the paint literally looks like a new car.  The silver is so much classier than the typical “look at me” red Ferrari.
 
The top is black and it took looks new.  The top mechanism works as it should.
 
You are buying not only a Ferrari but also piece of mind with this F355 as new valve guides were installed about 3,500 miles ago!  One of the top Ferrari service centers in the U.S. (Tillack /FastCars) did a major service at 11,561 miles, but they also installed new valve guides at that same time and the photographed and documented their work. If you are familiar with the 355 then you know the only real issue to have surfaced with the engine in these cars is the premature wear of the valve guides.  The bills for this peace of mind and the clutch and the brake master cylinder was over $12,000 so the next owner of this car doesn’t have that worry these details!  (See Valve Guide Invoice summary below.)
 
Tillack also fixed the notorious so called “sticky parts” as well.
 
The Master cylinder replaced with new one at 10,988 miles due to minor fluid contamination.
 
Tillack then installed a new clutch about 3.5k miles ago.
 
The prior owner paid $80k for the car and that was before having the valve guides done and the new clutch installed, etc. (Purchase order included with the records for the Ferrari.)
 
This Ferrari has been upgraded with a special Alpine alarm which locks and unlocks the doors as well as a high performance Alpine stereo. Two remotes are included.
 
The 1995 year model was the best and fastest F355 as it featured the F40 style dual intake system.  After 95 Ferrari went to single system for the F355 intake.  But note, they went back to dual systems for all Ferraris after that (360, 430, 458) which proves the dual intake is superior!  The only downside to the 1995 was the aforementioned notorious valve guides that potentially plagued all 355s. However, that issue is no longer an issue with this car.
 
The 355 is the last of the traditional Ferraris.  It traces its roots to the Enzo era Ferraris.  Unlike the newer Ferrari spiders the 355 is a pure sports car.  It is the last mid-engine Ferrari to feature mechanical linkage controlling its throttles.  So when you press the gas pedal you are actually mechanically moving the throttle bodies whereas the new cars are all drive by wire, which is less direct feeling because in the new cars you are no longer connected to the drivetrain.  It also has something the new Ferraris do not—five valves per cylinder and the sound of an F1 race car!    That intimate sports car feeling is gone on the newer Ferrar but there on the 355.  Likewise, you can't buy a manual shifting 458 Ferrari.  Ferrari only makes the automatic flappy paddle now.  If you want to experience the snick-snick of manual shifting and heel and toe driving while actually being at one with the sports car and an 8500 RPM redline then the F355 Spider is the last traditional Ferrari.  It also sounds better than any V8 Ferrari ever made.  The 355 is more compact and manageable than later generation Ferraris, sharper looking and drives like a Ferrari race car with the direct feel of a go kart.  
 
The F355 are starting to creep up in value now as the market realizes the value of a sexy high performance Ferrari (even today she's faster than most sports cars with a mid 4 second zero to sixty).  The miles and condition of this Ferrari make her a worthy addition to any collection.
 
Hammond drives the icons: The Ferrari 355
The car that saved Ferrari is all set to be a future classic, says Richard
 
All the legend, the myth, the history and mystery in the world cannot distract from one single fact when it comes to Ferraris: they have to be pretty. Stat sheets can go on about power-to-weight ratios, structural stiffness, torsional rigidity and exotic materials all day long, but if the car looks like a moose, then it's a moose - an offence made all the worse if it's supposed to be a prancing horse.
 
The 348 that preceded the 355 was not an especially ugly car, but it also wasn't especially pretty. The slats down the side echoed the Testarossa - not a good thing - so it looked dated even when it was brand new. And it certainly wasn't a hit, performance-wise. In fact, much was made of the news that Honda launched the NSX at the same time, and it appeared to be, in every single way, better than the Ferrari.
 
The 355 was Ferrari's answer. Beauty and power came together and are still very much in evidence today. I'm not one for getting all gooey about Ferraris in general, but there is undeniably something that happens deep inside when you see that yellow badge on a V8 or a steering-wheel boss.
 
Ferrari: the name carries so much weight, even to those who, like me, have never had - nor wanted - a hat with the brand on it. And, my God, the 355 is pretty. It shared almost every dimension with the 348, but the body was all-new and its sculpting had involved a rumoured 1,800 hours of wind-tunnel testing. But there's little sense of form following function here; it's too pretty for that. If anything, the 355 has somehow got more attractive in the 19 years since it arrived.
 
Inside, I get a reminder that all Ferraris go through a phase when they are not classic - they're just old Fezzers. I'd say that the 355 is coming through that and entering the classic stage of its life. In true Ferrari form, the interior has dated well, but perhaps not aged so well. Scruffy leather and the patina of age works well in a classic luxury car - an old Bentley, say, or a Jag - but less so in a Ferrari. But the layout, the design and the feel of it all scream of their own time and, while not fooling anyone that they were drawn yesterday, still have something to say about their period in car design... almost the definition of a classic, in fact.
 
The mid-mounted 380bhp V8 revs to 8,250rpm and sounds satisfyingly guttural and raucous when it does so. It's a Ferrari, so while it has to be pretty, it can't afford to be slow either. And it's quick, it really is. The headlines, 0-62mph in 4.7 seconds and a top speed of 183mph, are both perfectly acceptable, thank you. The way it delivers those is what it's all about. The bark and fizz of the V8, the click-clack through that iconic, shiny H-gate - it's all there. It's a Ferrari and feels it.
 
The engine and suspension all received major updates to produce the 355, and the gearbox too, with a six-speed manual operated, of course, through that sculptural gear selector. It feels all those things a Ferrari needs to feel; it's a taut thoroughbred, and you get the sense too that, once you've overcome the inevitable nerves that can flutter at any encounter with any Ferrari, the thing is biddable and usable, with perhaps just a touch of fragility to keep things special.
 
There's a huge amount of love for the F355, with some claiming it pretty much saved the company from the doldrums in the early Nineties, others that it was the car that finally shifted the old-fashioned and faintly stuffy conviction amongst the Ferraristi that the only ‘proper' Ferraris were the V12s.
 
Some, including F1 champion Phil Hill, named it as one of the 10 best Ferraris ever. A landmark car, then, in the story of a legendary carmaker. Not bad for around ?55k now.
 
Can the F355 take over the mantle of the Dino as the junior Ferrari of choice? Time for a shoot-out in the South African sunshine
 
It used to be that a gentleman driver would only consider a Ferrari with a large and powerful V12 engine mounted up front. Porsche manufactured small, rear-engined sporting cars for the arriviste. ?All that changed when Ferrari launched the Dino, with a mid-mounted V6, and followed it with a succession ?of V8-engined sports cars. Ever since, Ferrari has offered two tiers of performance and style – but the Dino has moved out of the new-money realm into ?the collector-car stratosphere. Could the 1990s F355 be about to follow suit?
 
Ferrari broke from its traditional front-engine philosophy in 1968, when the diminutive Dino appeared. The new model was not even badged a Ferrari; it was simply a Dino 206GT. To make matters worse it was developed along with Fiat, the V6 finding its way under the bonnet of the Fiat Dino Coupe and Spider. Motoring aristocrats such as the Agnellis of this world were about to be joined by successful Luigis who owned lucrative pasta joints. What was Enzo thinking?
 
The Dino became an instant hit with the new Ferrari customers and it was a brilliant piece of automotive design and engineering. It also moved Ferrari up a number of gears, transforming it from a small manufacturer of racing cars and expensive road cars into a specialist manufacturer of racing cars, expensive exotics and more affordable sports cars.
 
In 1969 Fiat took commercial control of Ferrari, allowing Enzo to concentrate on his first love – motor racing – while considerably expanding the company and allowing it to grow into the success it is today.
 
The sublimely beautiful Dino Berlinetta and Spider were followed by the less classical, more angular Bertone-styled Dino 308GT4 in 1974. It was never considered to be one of Ferrari’s finest creations, yet its V8-engined heart founded a theme for every ?junior Ferrari that followed, starting in 1975 with the superb 308 (as featured in Octane issue 83), which morphed into the 328, then the tricky and nervous ?348 of 1989.
 
This was the low point for the junior mid-engined Ferraris, as the company appeared to be concentrating its skills on the larger Testarossa and 512TR, the magnificent 288GTO and the ballistic F40. But in 1994 Ferrari focused anew and came up with the F355. The best mid-engined, smaller-displacement Ferrari since the original Dino, the F355 was met with enthusiasm by both the press and Ferrari owners, who once again had a compact and wieldy sports car to enjoy thrashing along their favourite roads.
 
Both designed by Pininfarina, these are two of the best-looking Ferraris ever created. The F355 has obviously moved on from the 246 and its specs are very impressive. It is the first Ferrari to feature five valves per cylinder (three intake and two exhaust valves) and its 3.5-litre V8 engine thumps out 380 stallions at 8250rpm. This translates to 109bhp per litre, an even higher specific output than the legendary McLaren F1’s 103bhp per litre. Performance? Little-league no longer, thanks to 0-60mph in 4.5sec and a top speed of 178mph. That’s properly fast, even today.
 
The fabulous 90-degree V8 is complemented by ?one of the most sophisticated exhaust systems of the ?time, which has a wastegate that opens at high revs ?to reduce back-pressure and, unfettered, allow an extra 20bhp. How exuberant and typically Ferrari – yet it is balanced by a cool and efficient Bosch Motronic engine management system, a six-speed gearbox ?with tightly stacked ratios, underbody aerodynamics with twin diffusers at the rear, electronically adjustable dampers, and proper racing car-style double wishbones at each corner.
 
The upshot is that Ferrari not only moved its F355 emphatically ahead of the 911 and Honda NSX opposition, it pushed the car straight into the jaws of the senior class dominated by the V12 Ferrari 512TR and the thunderous Lamborghini Diablo VT. Road ?tests of the time attested to the F355 being faster to 100mph than both, with the same time to the one kilometre post and a top speed almost identical to the 512’s. Bravissimo!
 
Manke no mistake, the F355 ?is most certainly a supercar even if, today, a good, ?pre-owned example can be had for the relatively affordable (against a Dino) sum of ?40,000-45,000 – prices that, having moved north over the last year or two, already prove that interest in the F355 is increasing. The best thing? Even at that money, it’s still an absolute bargain for what’s on offer.
The Ferrari is a pure supercar but it is useable every day. And every time I drive it, I am reminded how special it is, even when sitting in traffic with the air conditioning on.
You can drive the 355 fast and comfortably, revving it to about five thou, with the radio playing and the ?air-con cooling. But, as advised by owner Blow, things only really start to happen above that. So turn the tunes and chills off, drop two gears via the riflebolt gearshifter and hold on. The 355 gets serious.
You want the driving seat mounted forward so you can grasp the fat power-assisted steering wheel, then reprogramme your brain to keep up with the speed with which the 355 lunges into the corners. The gears are worth swapping just for the crack and the powerful vented disc brakes slough off speed with disdain. The car crushes the distance between corners with complete authority, and then it takes those corners with insane levels of grip and speed. Simply point and squirt. The superb suspension does the rest as the 355 hunkers down and launches itself through the bends.
 
The first run along the costal road is a blur. So do it again. Concentrate, balance the throttle, gearchanges and braking. Still too much infused information to process, so do it again. More at one with the 355, you delve more deeply into its performance abilities. The fat 225- and 275-section 40-profile tyres mounted on 18-inch rims are not even close to the limit on this road and the 355 could do with a long, closed racetrack ?to get anywhere near its properly exciting edge. Amazingly, the electronic damping control that varies the suspension’s stiffness confers an extremely comfortable ride amid all the high-speed action.
 
The Dino is charming and so much better than I imagined it might be. The 355 is a true supercar, yet as capable of being a daily commuter as it is pushing the envelope of serious performance. The 355 was never a ‘little’ nor a ‘cheap’ Ferrari, being launched at ?83,000, whereas the Dino was perceived as being the ‘small’ Ferrari when first seen in 1969.
Sure, the 246GT commands a price three times that of a good 355, and that’s no surprise: but don’t be surprised either if the F355 starts edging closer to it.

Tesla layoffs, new safety mandates, and a bumper crop of V12s! | Autoblog Podcast #830

Fri, May 3 2024

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Associate Editor Byron Hurd for a gasoline-powered installment. They lead off by diving into the Tesla layoff news from this week before leaving electrification behind for a bit to talk about not one, but two production V12 unveilings. This isn't a drill, folks; Aston Martin and Ferrari are both committed. After that, they touch on the U.S. government announcement that it would mandate automatic emergency braking systems starting in 2029. They finish up the news segment with a chat about Fisker. Poor, poor Fisker. From there, it's on to the road tests. The Autoblog team has been testing out some EVs and both Byron and Greg had some thoughts to share, plus we get a final update from Byron on the long-term Subaru WRX and some notes from both drivers about the updated Range Rover Evoque.  Send us your questions for the Mailbag and Spend My Money at: Podcast@Autoblog.com.

Aston Martin hires Ferrari's 'key guys' to challenge 488 GTB

Fri, Oct 6 2017

Aston Martin is wasting no time in its aggressive product rollout, and it's putting Ferrari and other supercar makers on notice. At the recent launch of the DB11 V8 in Catalonia, Spain, we caught up with Aston Martin CEO Andy Palmer. The Aston chief gave us new details on plans for a mid-engine car to go up against the Ferrari 488 GTB, the McLaren 720S and the Lamborghini Huracan. Palmer says Aston has harnessed a great deal of learning from the $3 million Valkyrie hypercar and plans to apply that to its next mid-engine car, slated to land sometime in 2020 or so. As indicated in part of our conversation below, design plans for that car are developing quickly. Autoblog: You said there will be a forthcoming mid-engine sports car. I still think the Ferrari 488 GTB is one of the best I've driven. How do you compete with that? Andy Palmer: "Well, I agree with you. That's the best car in its segment. And we're going to take it on. And I realize the gravity of that statement, of what that means." AB: So how do you take on the 488 GTB? AP: "Well, to start with, you recruit from Ferrari the head of body structures, and the head of powertrains. I've now got three of Ferrari's key guys. And really, it's a big compliment to Ferrari. That's the defining car in its segment, and it's really, really good. And those three guys now work for me. And you combine those guys with Nick [Lines, chief planning officer, Aston Martin] and Marek [Reichman, chief creative officer, Aston Martin] who you know really well, and you create some great recipes. And now I've got a better understanding of what that car looks like." AB: How far along is that car? Is there a clay model already? AP: "Yeah, there's clay. There's actually eight quarter-scales. And there's one in particular that I'm leaning toward. We've got it pushed out; it's gone to a second studio in Milton Keynes. That studio is different from Gaydon. And I've got a pretty good idea of what the replacement for the 488 is going to be like as well. So, if we're going in that market, we need to be ahead of the 488. And there's no naivete about what that means." View 16 Photos One of the recruits Palmer is referring to is Max Szwaj, former head of innovation and body structures at Ferrari and Maserati. Szwaj has been named vice president and chief technical officer in his new role in Gaydon.

Ferrari California T gets sharper edge with Handling Speciale package

Fri, Jan 22 2016

It's been about two years since Ferrari updated the California to T-spec with a 3.9-liter, flat-plane crank, twin-turbocharged engine, and we found it to be a suitable change – rewarding to drive, and compelling to experience. Now Ferrari has introduced a new handling option, which will debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March, which should add a sharper edge to the roadster. Like most handling packages, the springs and dampers get the most attention. The magnetorheological dampers fitted to the conventional California T get changes that increase their response time to changing road conditions. As before, damper settings are controlled via the steering wheel manettino, and the most aggressive change is to be found in the Sport setting. The front springs are stiffer – 16 percent up front, 19 percent in the rear – which will aid body control in all axes. Ferrari claims that, overall, the setup only marginally reduces the ride comfort. It'll take driving a Handling Speciale-equipped car to find out. The changes go beyond just handling hardware. Shifts are faster in Sport mode, both in automatic and manual modes, thanks to recalibrated transmission logic. Ferrari's engineers also found some additional corner exit speed by tweaking the F1-Trac stability control system's programming. The company claims this tweak also helps with acceleration on bumpy surfaces. Cosmetically, the California Ts with the Handling Speciale package will feature a matte grille, a rear diffuser with matte-painted fences, and matte black tailpipes. A special-edition plaque, located in the cabin, is also standard, Finally, in a very Italian move, the exhaust note has been recalibrated "to underline the performance gains." That is to say, if you don't happen to have a skidpad handy to do a direct measurement of the increase in cornering capability – which, it should be noted, Ferrari doesn't quantify – the sportier sound will serve as a psychological reminder. There's no claim that the new exhaust system changes the engine's output – cars so equipped make the same 553 hp at 7500 RPM as the model we tested back in 2014. Look for the Handling Speciale package to debut at the Geneva Motor Show.
