Hexagon Classics are delighted to offer this ultra-low mileage Ferrari 550 Maranello for sale. It certainly looks great in its distinctive classic Ferrari colour combination. There will not be many Ferrari 550’s left with such a tiny mileage, and the manual gearbox with its distinctive open gate is pure traditional Ferrari.
Launched to the press at the Nürburgring in 1996, the 550 Maranello was Ferrari’s answer to those who believed the performance of a front-engined V12 car could not beat that of a mid-engined sports car. The successor to the F512M, the 550 Maranello proved quicker and, thanks to its better front-engined, rear drive packaging layout, far more practical. Its V12 engine has twin overhead camshafts per bank, four valves per cylinder, with a Bosch Motronic M5.2 injection system. Power output is 357 kW (485 hp) at 7000 rpm, and maximum torque 569 Nm (58 kgm) at 5000 rpm, and the acceleration time from 0-62 mph is just 4.4 seconds.
The 550 Maranello also benefited from Ferrari’s maniacal attention to aerodynamics with a low Cd (0.33) and constant downforce over both axles. The combination of uncompromising performance and aerodynamic efficiency helped the car establish new production car speed records on the 12th of October 1998 in Marysville, Ohio, covering 100 km (62 miles) at an average speed of 188.88 mph in one hour.
The Pininfarina styling unsurprisingly had echoes of the new model’s 2+2 stable mate, the 456 GT, in the overall premise. The twin exhaust air slots in the front wings akin to those of the sixties 250 GTO and 275 GTB, whilst the tail light treatment was even closer to that of the fabled 365 GTB/4 “Daytona” model than it had been on the 456 GT.
Supplied new by Graypaul, Loughborough Ferrari in October 2000, the service book shows that our 550 has benefitted from a comprehensive regular Ferrari servicing schedule with Ferrari main dealers - the last of which was performed at the Ferrari main dealer in March 2026 at 2,752 miles. That service included a belt change, new tyre set and new battery. It also retains its original Schedoni Modena leather handbook pack, torch, full tool kit, and spare key. This 550M is a highly original modern classic with an extremely low mileage which has become highly collectable. Available to view now at our London showrooms.
