| The '''[[Ferrari]] 550 Maranello''' and '''550 Barchetta''' were 2-seat [[Gran Turismo]] [[sports car]]s. Introduced in 1996, the 550 was an upmarket [[FR layout|front-engined]] [[V12]] coupe of the kind not seen since the [[Ferrari Daytona|Daytona]]. It shared its platform and 5.5 L (5474 cc) engine with the 2+2 [[Ferrari 456|456]] (Engine Code: F133) but was positioned as the company's highest-end model.
| |
| | |
| The demise that same year of the [[Ferrari Testarossa#F512M|F512M]] left the company with only the [[exotic car|exotic]] [[Ferrari F50|F50]] and V8 [[Ferrari F355|F355]] as [[MR layout|mid-engined]] models. Although the 550 was a softer GT model, it did take the place of the F512M as the company's upmarket coupe, discounting the F50 [[supercar|supercar]].
| |
| | |
| The 550 featured a luxurious and roomy interior. The (rear) trunk was tall and wide, though not very deep, and could accept a full set of golf clubs or standard overnight bags. It also had performance to look up at, with a top speed at 323 km/h (199 mph) and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 4.5 seconds.
| |
| | |
| The 550 line was replaced by the ''Modificata'' [[Ferrari 575M Maranello]] in 2002.
| |
| | |
| ==550 Barchetta==
| |
| | |
| Ferrari introduced a [[convertible]] version of the 550 at the [[Paris Motor Show]] in 2000. This '''Barchetta''' was a true [[roadster]] with no real convertible top provided. The factory did provide a soft top, but it was intended only for temporary use as it was cautioned against using the top above 70 mph. A total of 448 Barchettas were produced, four more than initially planned due to concerns of superstition in the Japanese market. The 448 cars were preceded by 10 prototypes numbered P01-P10 on their interior plaques. To an observer the prototypes and production cars are indistinguishable.
| |
| | |
| ==Awards==
| |
| | |
| The 5.5 L V12 engine won the "over 4 liter" class of the [[International Engine of the Year]] award for 2000 and 2001.
