THE 550 MARANELLO LEGACY
Debuting at the Nürburgring in 1996, the 550 Maranello marked Ferrari’s triumphant return to front-engined V12 GT cars, evoking the spirit of the legendary 365 GTB/4 “Daytona.” Penned by Pininfarina, its timeless design—featuring a sweeping hood, truncated tail, and aerodynamic undertray—hides a technological tour de force: a 485 hp 5.5L V12, rear-mounted transaxle, and aluminum spaceframe chassis.
Critics hailed the 550 as a “perfect supercar” (EVO), blending analog driving thrills with cross-continental refinement. Its 0-62 mph sprint of 4.4 seconds and 199 mph top speed remain formidable, while the cabin offers surprising practicality with generous luggage space and a 114-liter fuel tank. Today, the 550 Maranello is celebrated as one of the last purely mechanical Ferraris—a rising modern classic with values escalating among collectors.
THIS MOTOR CAR
Classic Insider is honoured to present an exceptional 2000 Ferrari 550 Maranello, a meticulously maintained example of the revered front-engined V12 GT with "Open-gated" Manual. Presented in the iconic Rosso Corsa with supple Tan Hide "Daytona Styler" upholstery, this right-hand-drive coupe embodies the pinnacle of Ferrari’s grand touring legacy. With just 33,603 Kilometres, Ferrari Classiche certification, and a comprehensive service history totalling over HK 1.1M in recent maintenance, this 550 Maranello is a turnkey masterpiece for the discerning collector.
This 550 Maranello has resided in Hong Kong since its delivery, benefiting from meticulous care by marque specialists, including Musketeers Motorsports and Blackbird Concessionaires. The Rosso Corsa paintwork presents in near-flawless condition, with only minor touch-ups noted on the front bumper and left fender—a testament to its cherished ownership. The Tan Hide interior is equally striking, largely free from tears or dis-coloration, except on the driver's seat side bolsters with soft-touch plastics and switchgear preserved to a standard belying its age. Notably, the car retains its original factory-appointed components, from the iconic metal-gated shifter to the unblemished leather-wrapped steering wheel.
This 550 Maranello represents a rare opportunity to acquire a fully sorted, Classiche-certified example with unbroken Hong Kong provenance.
