1997 Ferrari F355

GR Auto Gallery is proud to present this 1997 Ferrari F355 Spider. Ferrari produced the F355 from May 1994 to 1999 designing it as an evolution of the 348. The Spider F355 was introduced in 1995 and priced at $137,000. In 1995, upon release Car and Driver boasted the F355 as “easily the best eight-cylinder Ferrari [we've] ever driven”. The F355 introduced a 5-valve cylinder head which allowed for better intake permeability resulting in a more power. Design emphasis for the Ferrari F355 was significantly placed on improved performance as well as drivability across a wider range of speeds and different environments. The 3.5L V-8 powering the F355 produces 375 hp and 268 pound-feet of torque allowing for a 0-60 time of 4.5 seconds and a ¼ mile time of 13.0 seconds. The F355 Spider had its design honed with 1,800 hours in the wind tunnel resulting in elegant style and aerodynamic performance. The beautiful interior features seats upholstered with hides from Connolly leather and are fitted asymmetrically allowing the driver being slightly closer to the car's center line than the passenger. Keeping the car on the road are beautiful 18 inch factory wheels bringing the full look of an aggressive sports car.
The 1997 Ferrari F355 Spider offered here was purchased ordered new and delivered in November, 1996 in the great state of California. The car features the now extremely desirable 6 speed manual transmission, finished in classic Rosso Corsa exterior paint, tan leather interior, 4 wheel ventilated disc brakes, 18 inch factory wheels and desirable fender shield options. Most importantly, this F355 has a history of routine Ferrari maintenance. Today at 46539 miles, this F355 Ferrari Spider remains a healthy spirited driver. The last belt service was performed by Ferrari-Maserati of Fort Lauderdale at 44288 miles on May 18, 2015 and most recently, over 14000 dollars of service work performed by Ferrari specialist, Prestige Imports, of Grand Rapids, MI. Cosmetically, the car remains very tidy overall and shows all the signs of consistent care including protective film installed on the nose since new. Mechanically, this 355 Spider is a blast to drive, the motor sings through all the gears, the recently serviced suspension is responsive and tight, and car delivers open air excitement that only Ferrari can deliver.
The Ferrari F355, now over 20 years in existence, is considered by many as the most stylish of the modern mid-engine V8 Ferraris. The lines are classic and smooth, and the Pininfarina design captures the transition from the classic cars of the 70's and 80's to the latest cars in similar class today. These cars are future collectors and at the price offered here is an entry level opportunity to true Italian motoring. Car comes complete with Factory tool kit, clean CARFAX, factory cover, service history and top converted to manual operation.
