The Ferrari 575M Maranello is a two-seat, two-door, grand tourer which was launched in 2002, it is essentially an updated 550 Maranello featuring minor styling changes from Pininfarina. The 575M was replaced by the 599 GTB in the first half of 2006. Updates from the 550, included a renewed interior, but with substantial improvements mechanically, including bigger brake discs, a larger and more powerful engine, improved weight distribution, refined aerodynamics and fluid dynamics along with an adaptive suspension set-up (the four independent suspensions are also controlled by the gearbox, to minimise pitch throughout the 200 milliseconds shift time). Two six-speed transmissions were available, a conventional manual gearbox and for the first time on a Ferrari V12, Magneti Marelli's semi-automatic (Electrohydraulic manual) 'F1' gearbox. The 575 model number refers to total engine displacement in litres, whilst the 'M' is an abbreviation of modificato ('modified').

This fabulous example of this desirable and rare model is presented in Nero Daytona Metallic with Nero leather electric Daytona seats with Rosso stitching, Bordeaux carpets, Nero brake calipers and Scuderia wing shields. This particular car has the expensive and rare Fiorano handling pack which enhances the performance of this 5.7 litre V12 motor car. A wonderful Italian sports grand tourer fitted with the semi-automatic F1 gearbox and supplied with a Ferrari toolkit. Its original Ferrari leather wallet contains the usual service book which is stamped and otherwise supported by service receipts. As well as two sets of keys, the car also comes with past MoT test certificates and invoices from various Ferrari dealerships/specialists. Hardly used in the vendors ownership due to work commitments abroad, the car has covered a mere 636 miles since he bought it. The lack of use has prompted the sale of this rare and desirable specification 575M. A gleaming and elegant Italian thoroughbred, that must surely be one of the finest available today.
