Aerodynamics were the main focus of this elegant yet aggressive sports car. The Ferrari 550 Maranello coupe was first presented at the Nürburgring in 1996. The two-seater was driven on the track by Michael Schumacher and Eddie Irvine. The Italian manufacturer proved with this model that a car with a V12 front-engine and rear-wheel drive can be at least as fast as one with a middle rear engine layout. Its body with the prominent shark face was designed by Pininfarina. The Ferrarri 550 achieved a drag coefficient of 0.33 due to its flat underbody, adapted headlights and fog lights integrated in the front bumper. The brake system was derived from Formula 1. The sports car with 5.5 litres of displacement and 357 kW (458 PS) was 3.2 s faster per lap on Ferrari’s Fiorano test track than its predecessor 512M and reached the top speed of 320 km/h. In 2001, in addition to the coupe version, 448 units of a roadster were produced, the Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina. It featured an emergency soft top only. The same year also saw the end of production of the Maranello, of which only 3,083 units were built.
