'Only those who truly dare... only live'
- Ferrari
What a challenge it must have been for the design team when they received the assignment to perfect the perfection of the 550 Maranello. In our opinion, Ferrari succeeded in making the perfect even better. In 2002, at the Geneva Motor Show, the "modificata" 575 arrived on the scene. Presented with only minor changes to the exterior compared to the 550, but with solid differences to the technology.
The name 575 already drops the veil that the displacement of the naturally aspirated V12 was increased to 5750 cc. In addition, the engineers were particularly concerned with advancing weight distribution, aerodynamics and new suspension, which was independently connected to the gearbox and responded within 200 milliseconds, which was very impressive at the time. For the first time in history, the 575M saw an automatic transmission married to a V12 at the factory.
It is not for nothing that the 575 is considered one of Ferrari's most successful grand tourers. Starting in 2005, several variants of the car were made with an additional GTC handling package and the limited edition Superamerica with a retractable hardtop. Starting in 2003, Ferrari announced that they were going to make several 575M-based race cars in the 575 GTC as a result of the Prodrive successes. This example was the starting gun for the Ferrari XX program!
And ours? As you have come to expect by now! Originally delivered in Germany, cloaked in Grigio Titanio with a Nero Daytona interior finished with rosso stitching, and the sporty look is highlighted with a built-in roll bar and a leather-trimmed fire extinguisher. Equipped with the Fiorano Handling Package, which provides an unparalleled driving experience. Lowered and stiffer springs, a thicker stabilizer bar and upgraded red brake pads make every drive extra exciting. Fully documented with stamped Ferrari booklets and a major service performed less than 200 km ago by the specialists at Prins Esclusivo! On the rational side, we have also thought about it!
