2,000 miles on the new clutch. All invoices on file, ask us for copies.
Introduced as the flagship of the Ferrari line in 1996, the Maranello took Ferrari back to the glory days of the
long-nose, short-tail front-engined Lusso, 275 and Daytona coupes. An indisputably elegant design with both
masculine and muscular styling by Pininfarina. We believe the 550 Ferraris are unquestionably the best-buy in a
user-friendly V-12 Ferrari. Thanks to speed-sensitive power steering the 550 is surprisingly light and easy to
drive in traffic at low speeds or on the highway at high speeds. With effortless torque, they are pleasant to drive
in traffic using only two or three of their six gears and utterly relaxed in 6th gear at America’s highway
speeds. The climate control works well and the cockpit is luxurious and roomy. The trunk has more than adequate
capacity for true Grand Touring. The Maranello recaptures the glory days of Ferrari’s legendary front-engined
V-12 sports cars. The 550s offer staggering yet effortless performance from its 485 hp 5,474 cc V12, with a 0-60
time of 4.3 seconds and top speed of 199 mph, just touching the magic 200 mph mark!
550 Maranello s/n 116410 is fitted with a great sounding straight through center exhaust that makes just the right
sounds as the RPMs come up. Also comes with the original stainless steel center section mufflers. Still fitted with
its original and great sounding factory-installed stereo system with 6-CD changer. Has clear bra on the front
bumper and hood. Fully serviced, excellent paint, excellent body and an excellent interior. This 550 is finished in
an elegant and desirable color combination. Only 47,201 well-documented miles. Clean Carfax, of course.
Well-equipped and needs nothing. A no-stories, no-excuses car that is ready to be enjoyed and admired and driven.

You can apply to attempt to break the world record for fastest blindfolded driver [w/video]
Sat, 07 Jun 2014The Guinness-certified world record for "fastest speed for a car driven blindfolded" is 186.12 miles per hour, set by Mike Newman in a Porsche GT2 last year at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground in England. Then earlier this year, Newman said he'd go for the 200 mph mark - something he might want to talk to fellow Bruntingthorpe speed demons Vmax200 about. UK firm Extreme Motorsport, which seems to have been set up solely to set blindfold driving and riding records, wants to wrest the record from Newman using a Ferrari 458 Challenge and the even longer runway at Elvington Airfield in York, England.
Strangely, it appears the terms "legally blind" and "blindfolded" equate to the same thing. The Guinness record and Extreme Sports say "blindfolded," but Newman and the man who held the record before him, Turkish pop singer Metin Sentürk, are legally blind and neither of them wore blindfolds during their record attempts.
No matter - the real point is that Extreme Motorsport is casting about for a driver to set a new record. The could-be-shady part is that Extreme is pretty vague about what's involved; they'll provide the car or the motorcycle, but you have to "choose a charity and pledge to give them all the funds you raise above the entrance fee and for any other personal expenses you may need to participate in the challenge." Extreme doesn't give any indication of how much that entrance fee might be.
Ferrari 458 with $1M wheels still hasn't found a buyer [w/video]
Sat, 27 Jul 2013Rule number one of modifying a car: When it comes time to sell, people want to pay for the car, and could care less how much you spent in the aftermarket. This is a lesson that the guys at Latitude Wheels in Miami are currently learning.
The wheel company's "flagship show car," a 2011 Ferrari 458 Italia was put up for sale on eBay weeks ago, as reported by Jalopnik. The price? Just a shade under $1.3 million. For a 458 Italia. That normally starts around $230,000. Yeah.
Latitude justifies the car's price based on a very expensive set of wheels. To be exact, the 21-inch fronts and 22-inch rears are forged Vossen Precision Series wheels. Mounted on Pirelli rubber, Latitude claims the package is worth over $1 million. Add onto that the $20,000 in Novitec Rosso carbon fiber pieces - none of the fun, performance stuff Novitec is known for - and you come to an eBay starting price of $1,290,000.
Ferrari 250 GT California could be your day off for $8 million
Thu, 26 Dec 2013Vintage Ferraris consistently top the list of the most expensive cars ever sold. In private treaty sales, the 250 GTO is king, but even at public auctions, it's the horses that prance the highest. After the Mercedes W196 grand prix racer that set the world record this past July at nearly $30 million, the list of eight-figure sales is populated almost entirely by Ferraris: a 275 GTB/4 NART Spyder for $27.5 million, the pair of '57 Testa Rossas that sold separately a few years ago for $17 and $13 million apiece, the 250 LM recently went for over $14 million and the 250 GT SWB California Spider that sold in 2008 for $11 million.
Now RM Auctions has another California - this time a long-wheelbase model - on consignment for its upcoming sales in Arizona, where it is expected to fetch between $7 and $9 million. The 11th of only 50 made, chassis number 1055 GT features matching numbers, in red over black with those highly-coveted covered headlamps from the factory. It was delivered new in 1958 to Texas and was owned by some prominent Ferrari collectors and historians across the United States.
It underwent a comprehensive restoration in 1994 before taking the top prize in its class at the Cavallino Classic and has made the rounds of numerous other concours. It's spent the last few years in northern Europe and is now being put up for auction. "It is so choice," as our childhood friend Ferris would say. "If you have the means, I highly recommend picking one up." Check it out in the gallery of achingly gorgeous photos above and the details in the auction listing below.
