Front engined, rear drive, pretty to look at and powered by a muscular 5.5L naturally aspirated V12, the 1996 Ferrari 550 Maranello is a classic GT car in every respect. In its day and for the nearly 30 years since the 550 has been praised for its driving feel. Drivers have lauded the satisfying power deliver, the car’s engaging steering and satisfying gated manual gear lever, which was linked up to a rear trans-axel for better weight distribution. All lending the car its ability to negotiate twisty roads with effortless precision. All that lit up the imaginations of a handful of eager racing teams, who sought to translate the 550’s B-road prowess into on-track supremacy… with mixed results.
