Description

See for information in English down below.Ferrari 550 Maranello 1998 'Giallo Modena'- Rare original yellow color 'Giallo Modena' - Coming from second owner- 'Blu Pelle' blue leather interior- Complete with original booklets- Mileage of only 85.600 km- 5.5 liter V12 engine with manual transmission- Matching Numbers- Major service including distribution at Kroymans Ferrari in January 2025Did you know that the bright yellow color 'Giallo Modena' is the original Ferrari color, instead of the well-known red 'Rosso Corsa'? This is because yellow is the color of the Italian city of Modena, where Enzo Ferrari was born. Consequently, this is also the color of the famous Ferrari shield. The red color was only later the general color in Italian racing. Still, "Giallo Modena" is a rarity, especially on the 550 Maranello. As far as we are concerned, it is a stunning color, especially when combined with the dark blue 'Blu Pelle' leather upholstery in the interior. A beautiful composition of this example, which was delivered new to the well-known Lake Garda in Italyë on October 26, 1998. In 2009 the car came into the possession of the second, French owner. The car is in original condition with the original 5-spoke alloy wheels. The car comes with a lot of (maintenance) documentation, all performed at authorized Ferrari dealers. For example, in June 2024 a maintenance service was performed (Ferrari Lyon) worth over € 7,000. In January 2025 a major service including distribution was performed at Ferrari dealer Kroymans (approx. € 4000,-). The Ferrari is thus very well maintained and completely roadworthy for the next owner. Thanks to the extensive documentation, the maintenance performed is clear and the mileage logical. The stainless steel exhaust produces an insane, deep sound. The Ferrari is registered on French plates.In the original tan leather folder you will find a wealth of authentic Ferrari documentation including the service booklet, Owners Manual manual, warranty booklet, alarm instruction booklet, radio warranty booklet, radio manual, and several other booklets. All these original and valuable booklets have been carefully preserved. The tool kit is also still present, as well as the optional spare tire. In addition to being a fast sports car, the Ferrari is a comfortable long-distance car and features options such as power seats, power windows and mirrors, automatic air conditioning, and a radio/CD player. Everything works properly. 'Sport Mode' makes the ASR less active and adjusts the dampers stiffer, for more feel in sporty driving. Under the hood lies perhaps the most important thing: a 5.5-liter V12. This 48-valve delivers some 485 horsepower at 7,000 rpm. It therefore covers 0-100 km/h in an impressive 4.4 seconds. Top speed is 320 km/h: extremely fast for a youngtimer. Paired with this iconic engine is the well-known "H-gate" 6-speed manual transmission. Ferrari has said goodbye to the manual transmission for quite some time nowadays. This is precisely why these examples are becoming increasingly sought after by collectors. The numbers of the chassis, gearbox and engine match, which makes this example "Matching Numbers. For a trip to, say, Italyë we cannot think of a better car: fast, luxurious, comfortable and stylish.General information about the Ferrari 550 MaranelloIn 1996, after 23 years of absence, a traditional Ferrari was finally reintroduced with the engine at the front, rear-wheel drive and a V12 engine. This engine produces 485 hp (at 7,000 rpm) and 568 Nm (at 5,000 rpm). It is an atmospheric 5.5-liter DOHC 65° V12 with Bosch Motronic injection, which is always mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The limited slip differential is mechanical. The F133 engine would eventually win an award for Engine of the Year twice in the category above 4.0-liter. Thanks to its aerodynamic bodywork - drawn by renowned designer Pininfarina - with an air resistance coëfficiënt of only 0.33 Cx, the 550 Maranello achieved a top speed of no less than 320 km/h. A feat that is still very impressive today. And that gave driver Montezemolo the idea of having the Maranello compete for the world speed record title. So in October of 1998, Modena sent a slightly modified version to the 12-km oval circuit of Colombus, Ohia in the United States. A few hours later, the 550 Maranello had three records in its pocket including an average speed of 306 km/h on 100 miles (160 km) in an hour's time respectively.The 550 Maranello was succeeded in 2002 by the 575M Maranello: this model was hardly changed in terms of appearance and was produced until 2006. A timeless model therefore, as we are used to from Pininfarina.Ferrari 550 Maranello 1998 ‘Giallo Modena’- Rare original yellow color ‘Giallo Modena’ - From second owner- Blu Pelle' blue leather interior- Complete with original booklets- Mileage of only 85,600 km- 5.5 liter V12 engine with manual gearbox- Matching numbers- Major service including distribution at Kroymans Ferrari in January 2025Did you know that the bright yellow color ‘Giallo Modena’ is the original Ferrari color, instead of the well-known red ‘Rosso Corsa’?
