Ferrari F355Photography coming soon
The Ferrari that got everything right. The F355 combined Pininfarina's most elegant mid-engine design with the first Ferrari V8 to produce over 100 hp per liter.
History
The F355 was a dramatic improvement over the 348 it replaced. Its 5-valve-per-cylinder V8 revved to 8,500 rpm and produced one of the most celebrated engine notes in automotive history. The F1 paddle-shift gearbox, introduced in 1997, pioneered a technology that would spread across the industry.
