Debuted at the Nürburgring in July 1996, the Ferrari 550 Maranello represented a pivotal chapter for the marque, as it revived the front-engine, V-12 grand tourer for the first time since it had phased out the acclaimed 365 GTB/4. As a model that bridged the analog and modern eras of Ferrari, the 550 Maranello remains highly sought-after for its blend of mechanical purity and classic styling, while setting the stage for future advancements for Ferrari.

Finished in a stunning shade of Giallo Modena (Modena Yellow), this 550 Maranello was delivered new to its first owner in California. Much of its current mileage would be accumulated before changing hands within the same family in 2008. Records indicate multiple major services during this time, before relocating to New York. Under the care of the consignor, the 550 has continued to live a pampered lifestyle, with less than 1,000 miles added over the last nine years. Maintenance has also been a top priority. With a major timing belt and gasket service in 2020, along with a new set of Continental tires mounted in 2022, it is ready to be enjoyed by its next caretaker.

Well-kept, low-mileage examples – especially in such a suitable color specification – are becoming more difficult to find, making this 550 Maranello an impeccable buy for the discerning enthusiast.
