Nicolas (amanico) presents a detailed look at the 1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello Coupe, inviting enthusiasts to appreciate its design and performance. His initial contemplation of whether he prefers it over the 456 sets the stage for a nuanced discussion on these iconic V12 grand tourers. This article explores the community's insights into the enduring appeal and practical considerations of owning such a classic Ferrari.

12 Cyl 5, 5 485 HP. Not bad, but I wonder if I don't prefer the 456... 











The interior and the dashboard... Hmmmmm! Special mention to the gearbox grill, legendary. 







Best,

Nicolas

The 550 and 456 are my favorite 12cyl designs from that era.

I suspect you have the tan interior. 456s were a bargain for a while but prices have been going up steadily.
