What makes it iconic
Marked Ferrari's return to the front-engine V12 GT after the 365 GTB/4 Daytona. A proper long-distance grand tourer that also won at Le Mans.
History
After years of mid-engine V8s, the 550 proved Ferrari could still build a classic front-engine V12 GT. It went on to win the GTS class at Le Mans in 2003. The manual gearbox and V12 make it one of the most rewarding Ferraris to drive.
