This 1997 Ferrari 550 Maranello is a European-market example that spent time in Germany, was imported to the US in 2024, and was recently acquired by the selling dealer. Finished in Nero Carbonio Metallic over Nero leather upholstery, the car is powered by a 5.5-liter V12 paired with a six-speed manual transaxle. Equipment includes a limited-slip differential, 18″ five-spoke alloy wheels, fog lights, power-adjustable seats, a gated shifter, a Sony cassette stereo, and automatic climate control. Showing 20k kilometers (~12k miles), this 550 Maranello is offered in Illinois with owner’s manuals, service and registration records, a tool and spares kit, a clean Carfax report, and a Michigan title.
The 550 Maranello was styled by Pininfarina, and this example is finished in Nero Carbonio Metallic (901/C). Exterior details include projector-style headlights, fog lights, a hood scoop, a front spoiler, front-fender vents, and quad exhaust tips exiting through the rear bumper cover.
Silver-finished 18″ five-spoke alloy wheels are mounted with 255/40 front and 295/35 rear Pirelli P Zero Rosso tires. Braking is handled by black-finished Ferrari-branded calipers over cross-drilled and ventilated rotors.
The power-adjustable seats are upholstered in Nero leather that extends to the dashboard, center console, and door panels. Additional appointments include automatic climate control, a gated shifter, electric windows, a Sony cassette stereo, and rear luggage straps.
The leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel frames a Jaeger tachometer with a 7,600-rpm redline along with a 340-km/h speedometer and gauges for coolant temperature and oil pressure, while an analog clock and gauges for oil temperature and fuel level are housed in the center of the dashboard. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows 20k kilometers (~12k miles), approximately one of which was added under current ownership.
The 5.5-liter quad-cam F133A V12 features 48 valves, dry-sump lubrication, and Bosch Motronic engine management. Factory-rated output was 478 horsepower and 419 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential.
Owner’s manuals and spare keys will accompany the vehicle, as will service records and a leather case with tools and spares.
The Carfax report is free of accident or damage entries.
