2002 FERRARI 575M MARANELLO Finished in the classic colour combination of Grigio Titanio over Bordeaux hides, we are delighted to offer this superb, reference example of Ferrari’s 575M Maranello. Unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2002, the 575M Maranello signalled a whole new level of achievement for one of Ferrari’s most traditional layouts – the V12 front-engined rear-wheel drive berlinetta. Replacing the successful 550 Maranello, in essence the 575 was an uprated 550, built on the same tubular steel chassis but with a bigger and more powerful engine (575 being shorthand for 5,748cc) and other significant modifications signalled by the ‘M’ in the name, (‘M’ standing for Modificata). On top of its extra power – 515hp versus the 550’s 485hp – it had drilled and ventilated brakes with more servo assistance, different front to back weight distribution, better aerodynamics (mainly achieved by changes to the underbody) and electronically controlled adaptive suspension, along with a revised and improved interior. During the four-year production run (2002-2006) a total of just over 2,000 575M’s were produced, for worldwide consumption. The example, we are now pleased to offer, was first supplied by Maranello Sales, Official Ferrari dealer in Egham, Surrey in July 2002, finished in Grigio Titanio over Bordeaux hides with optional desirable ‘Fiorano’ Handling Pack along with satellite navigation and Scuderia Ferrari wing mounted shields. Having recorded just 6,400 miles from new, in the hands of its 3 owners, this car presents in outstanding condition throughout, the exterior being unmarked and the interior unblemished. Servicing has been carried out by Ferrari main agents and highly respected marque specialists, including its last, major, service by Bob Houghton in August 2022, less than 1,200 miles ago, at which time cambelts and auxiliary belts were changed, along with an interior ‘sticky switch’ refurbishment. A recent ‘Vehicle Health Check’ by Ferrari confirms the car to be fault free, ‘on the button’ and ready to be enjoyed, supplied with 12 months MOT. The car is accompanied by its original owner’s manual, tool kit, spare keys, Ferrari battery trickle-charger, and book packs including the service book. Available for viewing and demonstration at our Hertfordshire showrooms.

Launched in 2002, the Ferrari 575M Maranello updated the 550 Maranello, boosting its power and style. It sports a 5.7-liter V12 engine, pushing out 515 horsepower. This lets it zip from 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds, topping speeds over 200 mph. It came with a choice of a 6-speed manual or an F1-style gear system, improving its speed and feel. The 575M got tweaks in handling and comfort, with new suspension, bigger brakes, and better aerodynamics. These changes made it fast but stable at high speeds. Inside, it offers a mix of luxury and sportiness, with fine leather and modern comforts, making for a thrilling yet plush ride. Made in limited numbers, the Ferrari 575M Maranello is a prized find, blending Ferrari's race edge with everyday luxury.
