Seller's Introduction
duPont REGISTRY Live is proud to present this 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello, finished in elegant Grigio Titanio over a Navy leather interior. Showing 33,046 miles, this beautifully specified example pairs Ferrari’s legendary 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V12 with the increasingly coveted gated six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. With its understated metallic finish, classic front-engine proportions, and unmistakable gated shifter, this 550 Maranello embodies the essence of Ferrari’s grand touring heritage while offering the kind of analog driving experience that has become exceptionally difficult to replicate.
Overview
The Ferrari 550 Maranello marked Ferrari’s triumphant return to a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive V12 flagship, reviving a formula that had defined the marque’s greatest grand tourers. Beneath its long, sculpted hood lies a 5.5-liter V12 delivering the performance and soundtrack expected of a Ferrari, while the traditional six-speed gated manual transmission provides an intimate mechanical connection between driver and machine. Today, the 550 Maranello is increasingly celebrated as one of the defining analog Ferraris of its generation.
The exterior is finished in Grigio Titanio, a sophisticated metallic shade which was recently paint-corrected that beautifully complements the 550’s elegant Pininfarina-designed proportions. 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, black-painted brake calipers, and quad-exit exhaust outlets provide subtle sporting character without compromising the car’s refined grand-touring aesthetic.
Inside, Navy leather upholstery creates a rich and understated cabin, complemented by a leather-wrapped steering wheel and Navy floor mats featuring the iconic Cavallino logo. Electronically adjustable seats provide additional comfort, while the Jaeger gauge cluster reinforces the period-correct character of the cockpit. An aftermarket Alpine radio adds modern functionality, while a fire extinguisher provides an additional measure of preparedness.
Power comes from Ferrari’s 5.5-liter naturally aspirated V12, paired with a gated six-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. A limited-slip differential helps manage the V12’s substantial power, while independent front and rear suspension provides balanced handling and a composed ride. Cross-drilled and ventilated rotors deliver confident braking performance, completing a chassis engineered to combine long-distance refinement with genuine Ferrari sporting character.
Showing 33,046 miles and accompanied by a Clean CarFax, one key, owner’s manual, and service records, this 1998 Ferrari 550 Maranello represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire one of Ferrari’s most celebrated modern front-engine V12 grand tourers. Its Grigio Titanio exterior, Navy leather interior, naturally aspirated V12, and gated six-speed manual transmission create a timeless combination of elegance and driver engagement. For enthusiasts seeking the unmistakable experience of a traditional Ferrari, few modern grand tourers deliver the same blend of performance, sophistication, and mechanical character.
Inspectors Notes: Ferrari 550 Maranellos are becoming highly sought-after modern classics, and for good reason. A naturally aspirated V12 paired with a gated manual, this generation is among the last pure analog driving experiences from Ferrari. This example has been routinely serviced throughout its life, just had its paint corrected, and is ready to be enjoyed by its next caretaker.
