Ferrari 575M Maranello Introduction
The launch of the 575M Maranello marks a new milestone for one of the most successful types of Ferrari designs - the sporty front engine 12-cylinder berlinetta. It follows in the footsteps of some of the most prestigious models in Ferrari's history and above all represents a significant development of the 550 Maranello, which was launched in 1996 and is unanimously recognised as one of the most successful Ferraris ever.
The engine is described by the new numerical code, 575, an abbreviated indication of its capacity, increased to 5,750cc, offering a significant increase in both power and torque. The letter M, an abbreviation of "Modificata" or modified, underlines the fact that changes have been wrought to all areas of the model’s performance.
Key amongst these, apart from the engine is the introduction of an F1 type gearbox, first time on a 12 cylinder Ferrari road car. The 575M is the ultimate two-person GT car available today, embodying all the technology, style and panache that Ferrari has at its disposal.
