Summary

The elegant Maranellos are still available for a third of their original price. This applies to the 550 as well as to the improved 575 M Maranello variant, which is the subject of this report. The aim was to achieve both everyday and long-distance suitability. With just over 2000 units produced, the comparatively compact coupé remained rare. This vehicle report tells the brief history of the second Maranello edition and shows a coupé from 2003 in many pictures.

Preview (beginning of the article)

For decades, Ferrari had built GT sports cars with a twelve-cylinder engine under the front hood until 1971, when the Ferrari 365 GT4 BB was shown for the first time. From then on, gentleman drivers also found the twelve-cylinder engine in front of the rear axle and this remained the case until the summer of 1996, when Luca di Montezemolo presented the Ferrari 550 Maranello at the Nürburgring. Ferrari had recognized that the affluent clientele was not averse to a little more comfort at the expense of sportiness. In 30 months, a handy two-seater coupé suitable for everyday use was developed on the basis of the Ferrari 456 GT, the design of which was once again entrusted to Pininfarina. After all, 3083 units were built by 2002, when it was time for a successor.
