The stage was set for the 550 Maranello as the Prancing Horse unveiled its newest grand tourer at the Nürburgring in 1996. The decision by Ferrari bosses to launch the car at the famous German circuit was a deliberate move, immediately drawing attention to the model’s impressive performance potential. The 550 Maranello was built around a 5.5-litre V-12 engine, delivering 485 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque; it became Ferrari’s flagship 12-cylinder two-seater, and was hailed as an indirect successor to the legendary Testarossa. Only ever offered with a six-speed gated manual transmission in production guise, the 550 Maranello has earned a reputation over time as an exciting and rewarding driver’s car.

The example offered here left the Ferrari factory in the highly desirable colour pairing of Blu Pozzi over a tan leather interior. The consigning owner placed the order in August 1997 and on leaving Maranello, the beautifully specified machine was distributed by Autoropa, the official Ferrari dealer in Arlöv, Sweden. Remarkably, the car has remained in The Aurora Collection from new and has been used sparingly; the odometer reads just 3,263 kilometres at the time of cataloguing. Offered for sale with its toolkit and tyre inflation set, this 550 Maranello represents an incredible opportunity to acquire a lightly used and rare Ferrari configured in an attractive colour combination.

This motor car has been driven for no more than 6,000 kilometres. For this reason, the motor car is considered ‘as new’ for VAT purposes and is subject to VAT on the full purchase price (both on the hammer price and commission).

Questa vettura è stata guidata per non più di 6.000 chilometri. Per questo motivo l’auto è considerata “come nuova” ai fini dell’IVA ed è soggetta a IVA sull’intero prezzo di acquisto (sia sul prezzo di aggiudicazione, sia sulla commissione).
