Ferrari 550 Maranello: V12 Perfection | Catchpole on Carfection
Having looked at the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 (otherwise known as the Daytona) in the first film (see it here czcams.com/video/yFj5nAgtNBk/video.html ) , this time it’s the turn of the 550 Maranello. Once again, it was sourced by Bell Sport & Classic and seeing the two cars parked up outside their showroom I was surprised that the 550 didn’t look vastly bigger than the Daytona given the decades between them. To my eyes it’s not as attractive as the earlier front-engined, V12 supercar, but as soon as you get into the Maranello it is obvious how much things moved on between 1973 and 1996.
The whole interior is vastly better laid out and the car feels smaller and more intimate as a result. Get going and the 550 immediately feels possessed of a totally different level of performance, too - right up there with more modern machinery, in fact. It might have ‘only’ 478bhp and 420lb ft of torque (131bhp and 102lb ft up on the Daytona but 134bhp and 141lb ft down on the current junior Ferrari, the Roma) but the 550’s 5.5-litre V12 has an incredible muscularity and flexibility to it. I was genuinely stunned by just how strong it feels.
Like the Daytona, the Maranello has wishbones all round with anti-roll bars front and rear. However, the trick up the 550’s more modern wheel arches is the electronically controlled variable dampers. There are only two options, Normal and Sport, but the change in character when the firmer setting is selected is noticeable and welcome. It’s still not that firm by 2022 standards, but with a bit of extra support and control in the corners the 550 really comes alive, feeling as playful and easy to drive as an M2 CS. The fact that you can currently get one for similar money to the BMW makes it an absolute bargain in my eyes.
The Daytona is undoubtedly the more iconic car, but I think we have a huge amount to thank the 550 Maranello for. It successfully brought back the front-engined V12 Ferrari supercar at a time when mid-engined really seemed to be the only way forward. Without the huge success of the 550 we wouldn’t have had the 599, F12 and 812 Superfast and I think the motoring landscape would be a slightly poorer place as a result.

My name is sam oates bideford and demi the dog
The 550 has always been one of my absolute favorites!
That is a pretty cool looking car play me some American cars
Thanks for the look we don’t get that car in usa great photography
Thanks for your honesty.
I own an 04 xjr. I fucking love that car. 😊
Adamantium Interior materials. Marvellous! It is best known as the substance bonded to the character Wolverine's skeleton and claws.
that road!!
Niva and Moskvich 2141 are the real hard workers! Legends, that even now will take you and your 20 bags of potatoes anywhere, through any dirt.
Well sold! Just bear in mind the cost racks up if, as a result of coming home with it, you also have a divorce to pay for.
If i am a vampire from 21st century, i will drive this to pick up Jonathan.
Budget Richard Hammond 😂 Nice review though. Can’t deny his way of speaking works.
How much lol
What about The BMW that beat that thing when it decided to go flying into the freaking bush
SUPER!!!!!!!
I cant believe that this model is 7 years old now .. time is quicker than the M5 he mentioned
but why the shark? A RAF roundel more appropriate
DMC CAR ????,
Just an amazing car😊👍
Thanks for sharing this Toyota Corolla
Is it in production or unlimited class?
damn so sexy
Manuals matter but just stop. Don’t be that old man yelling get off my lawn. All you manual fan girls are beginning to get really annoying. We get it, you enjoy having a “stick” in your hand, and who knows where else. To each their own.
Just for the new Ferrari 12Cilindri

He was right, he was absolutely right. Not only we lost NA V8 we lost to electric motor
No twin turbo should sound that good mind blowing!🧠🤯🔫

sorry for laughing. You can't push the limit if you never find the limit though.
Wow
3 to 5 yrs ok. But in 35 years we will be in flying vehicles or teleporting... but, cool fantasy.
6yrs later and it turns out that SUVs have really eaten into sales of _saloon_ cars the most. Estate/Wagon sales definitely took a hit, but you still have many options for new estate cars from all sorts of manufacurers. A great example is the post 2016 Toyota Corolla. Hatchbacks and Estates are abundantly available and both highly praised, but the Saloon version is arguably more rare than certain classic cars on UK roads
Im so lucky I got one of these. Its not all about outright speed and handling and power ( I have a car that beats the Lambo on all of these) - but Italy understands DRAMA and EXCITEMENT and PASSION. Sometimes these are better than being faster and better.
Great review very professional top gear standards definitely 👏🏽👊🏽🥂
The Volga isn’t black My disappointment is immense and my day is ruined
