THE 575M SUPERAMERICA
In 1996, Ferrari introduced their first front-engine V12 GT car since the iconic 365 GTB/4 'Daytona' - the 550 Maranello. Featuring a 5,474cc V12, a slinky Pininfarina-designed body and a luxuriously appointed leather interior, this new generation of GT recalled and honored its iconic forebears with aplomb. In 2002, the 550 was extensively refreshed and updated to create the 575M 'Modificata'. Along with subtle design refinements and a further upgraded interior, the majority of the advancements came mechanically. The lovely V12 engine grew to 5,748cc and delivered its 532 horsepower to the rear wheels through an all-new 'F1' semi-automatic transaxle capable of shifting between each of its six forward gears in a blistering 200 milliseconds. The brakes were updated as well, along with the independent suspension, which now featured adaptive dampers.
In 2004, Ferrari released a limited run of 559 examples of a striking and innovative convertible, the Superamerica. Drawing its name from the impressive Lampredi V12-powered GT cars of the '50s and '60s, the 199-mile per hour 575M Superamerica retained the mechanics of the coupe along with the general design with the addition of a unique pivoting photochromic roof. The 'Revocromico' pivoting hardtop is a dimmable pane of glass that pivots behind the cabin to fold flat on the rear deck- a spectacular and unique solution to the folding top.
The 575M Superamerica has become one of the most highly coveted modern Ferraris thanks to its rarity, innovative and unique design, and exhilarating driving experience as one of the scarce modern V12 Ferrari roadsters.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
This 2005 575M Superamerica comes from the collection of its first and only owner, having covered a mere 7,934 miles from new at the time of cataloging. The muscular Pininfarina designed body is finished in Girgio Titanio paint and the interior features beige Daytona-style seats with black inserts and piping that are in similarly great condition. This rare Roadster from Maranello comes with the desirable 'Fiorano' Handling Package, which improves suspension, braking, and steering response, further intensifying the driving experience. Additionally, this car features the F1 gearbox, aluminum brake calipers, HiFi premium stereo and Scuderia Ramparte shields.
Its single owner has cared for the car meticulously with a fat stack of receipts documenting the regular maintenance work carried out by Ferrari specialists. In February of 2017, Ferrari of Beverly Hills replaced the 'Revocromico' pivoting hardtop and motorized carrier assembly, to rectify the all-too-common pixilation problems associated with the roof, at a cost of nearly $100,000. Additionally, in April of the same year, Ferrari of Beverly Hills did a complete and thorough $68,000 cosmetic overhaul including a total repaint and the replacement of the front bumper to rectify what most would consider 'minor chips and scratches' but what keen-eyed Ferrari owners would call 'imperfections'. A cache of photos from Ferrari of Beverly Hills detail the car prior to all of the cosmetic work being completed, putting aside qualms that the work was done as a result of crash damage. The clean CARFAX report further confirms this.
Complete with the aforementioned reams of receipts and photos, its original books, tools, spare key, and car cover are also with the car. Here is a rare chance to acquire one of just 181 of these unique and desirable Ferraris in a gorgeous color scheme with low mileage, and single caretaker ownership?not to mention one with its pricey and nearly impossible to find top replaced. Plus, it is still one of the only open, two-seater V12s with enough trunk space for a set of golf clubs?in addition to being one of the best looking.
