1995 Ferrari F355 GTS Manual Aussie Delivered

The Ferrari F355, was another Pininfarina masterpiece. Following on from the Ferrari 348, the 355 was produced between 1994 and 1999 and marked the end of the millennium and the last non-airbag fitted vehicle for Ferrari.

The team from Maranello spent significant time on improving performance and driveability over its predecessor, with a specific focus on low-speed environments. This was achieved via the adoption of a larger, 3.5 litre, V8 featuring five valves per cylinder – hence the 355 moniker. The result was an engine that breathed better and developed more power than earlier models. Its critical figures were 280kW of power at a climactic 8,250rpm and 363Nm of torque at 6,000rpm.

Featuring a Capristo exhaust this 355 provides just as much driving pleasure as it does aural delight, delivering a sound more akin to Formula 1, as it accelerates to 100km/h in 4.7 seconds to a top speed of 300km/h.

This Australian vehicle is believed to be one of just 11 delivered new into the country and arrived before the advent of strict emissions regulations. This means that the vehicle is higher up the collectability charts owing to its better performance and response thanks to its Bosch Mototronic 2.7 engine management system.

This outstanding example finished in Rosso Corsa (Red) outside and Nero Leather (Black) inside. The vehicle features period correct and highly desirable factory three-spoke Momo steering wheel (pre-airbag), all original documentation, Capristo exhaust, re-manufactured and ceramic coated factory headers, and ceramic-coated paint protection.

This is an original, low kilometre, well-loved example of one of the most popular Ferraris ever built, it pairs one of the most infectious exhaust notes with thrilling performance making it a great addition to any enthusiast or collector’s garage.
