Launched at the 1994 Geneva Motor Show, the Ferrari F355, although based on the 348, quickly made its predecessor forgotten, becoming one of the marque's greatest successes. Its lines, designed by PININFARINA, are a modernization of the 348's design. The slimmer, more rounded lines are very much in keeping with the Ferrari range of the second half of the 1990s.
Equipped with a fabulous 380bhp 3,496cc V8, this exceptional power is due to the introduction of a 5th valve per cylinder. This configuration produced 109 bhp per litre, a record for a naturally-aspirated engine at the time. Available at launch in two body styles: Berlinetta and GTS, both paired with the exceptional 6-speed manual gearbox. Evolving over the course of its career, a Spider body appeared in 1995 and a robotised F1 gearbox was launched in 1997.
The car we are presenting is a 1995 F355 GTS equipped with the 6-speed manual gearbox. In Giallo Modena with black leather interior, this 355 is well equipped with, among other things, the desirable GTS roof to match the exterior colour and the retrofitted Challenge grille. (The original grille is supplied with the car).
This car was delivered new by the Auto-Palace dealership in Mandelieu via Charles Pozzi on 31 January 1995, to a certain Mr Sanial, who lived in Saint Paul de Vence. Thereafter, the car was regularly serviced in the Ferrari network or by Ferrari specialists. Since 2015, the car has been maintained by LDO Racing, the famous specialist from whom our collector acquired this superb car in 2019. In 2021, when the timing belt was replaced, the engine was removed and all the engine seals were replaced.
With 74,000km on the clock, this F355 GTS is running well. One of the best cars of the 90s, the F355 is now a true collector's item, especially for well-configured examples like ours.
