Ferrari 575 Maranello F1 2002

[JR98]

Upon its launch, the Ferrari 550 Maranello, a modern-day successor to the 365 GTB/4 Daytona, proved to be an overwhelming success, as it was capable of crossing continents at high speed whilst also cosseting its driver and passenger in comfort and with a boot full of luggage. Five years after the introduction of the 550 Maranello, Ferrari unveiled the 575M Maranello, which offered a range of upgrades over its predecessor.

The displacement of its V-12 engine was increased by 250 cubic centimetres to 5,748 cubic centimetres, hence the designation of 575. This brought about a healthy increase in power and torque, giving the 575M a top speed of 202 mph. Larger brakes were fitted to help reign in the speed, while there was also improved weight distribution to an even 50/50, which improved the already capable handling.

The 575 Maranello F1 was a limited edition model that featured an F1 style gearbox, and was the first time one would be featured in a front engined Ferrari.

In 2003 Ferrari also built the 575 GTC, a racing version, which first saw action at the 2003 FIA GT Championship, raced by JMB Racing, but were not as capable as the Prodrive 550's, and would fall from use in 2005.

Love the look of the car even though this car was most often overlooked compared to other Ferrari's.
