This car was possibly _too right_ for its own good. It was so handsome, and it pushed all the style, technical specification, _and_ driving experience buttons so perfectly, it oddly bordered on caricature. The perfect proportions, the beautifully sculpted tail, the evocative hood-scoop, the finely-honed and pleasingly organized face, the crisp yet flowing lines, the elegant five-spoke wheels, the handsome interior -- there were no missteps in this car, no quirky tangents, just perfectly cohesive Italian design. Based on contemporary reports, and despite reviewers' mixed feelings, it was obviously the best road-car Ferrari had ever offered, and I felt it would stand the test of time. You've confirmed all of that, ~25 years later.

Loved the moody fog shots. A great wrap up of the under appreciated Maranello. I love my 575M. Your review really did highlight its brilliantness. There is nothing wrong with the car.. it's such a great driver, either on a long trip or dancing down a mountain road. When the V12 hits 4k it really pulls hard. It's one of the great looking PF cars. All the greats are in the design language. The GTOs cam tail, the 4 tail pipes and lights, the SWB bonnet scoop, and the shark gills. A real modern classic. A true gentlemans car. I love the fact that's it's just my skill that is keeping the car on the road. The only thing I'd like is, as you point out, a bit more noise. But that can be addressed. I've had my car for 8 years and it's now in the final process of getting its Classiche certified certification. Again thanks to your early review.

Bizarre quirk of my car, the gearknob was incorrectly marked with reverse opposite where it actually was. I loved mine, I was 29 when I bought it, my mates couldn't understand why I did't buy a 360 or 355. Mine was Rosso with Nero interior, I wanted a dark coloured car but the best example for sale at the time was Rosso Corsa. I bought a TubiStyle exhaust for it and to be fair it wasn't the best sound, I've said to you before though, yours sounds louder than mine did

I had the odd problem that the Ferrari Dealer could not figure out. It seems that when the car got really hot from running the Tail of the Dragon. 319 curves in 11 miles. So in 22 miles you had ground out 638 curves, and the car would not take any gas in the tank. It took 15 minutes to put in 2 gallons. No vapor lock, etc etc. It had to cool down for about 2 hours. Not fun when you are low on gas, you don't want to sit at the gas station that long and drink a soda and carve something into the wooden bench with a pin knife. We never did find out. I sold it partially for that reason. Got a 458 Italia. But the 550 was the smoothest engine and a dream to drive. The seats were just right. I miss it but I like the newer stuff, less worry and cost less to run. Glad you still have yours.

Another great and interesting video, James, thank you so much. This and Harry's Garage are my go-to channels for the "real" info on cars. You do such a great job. I have an opportunity to get a V12 Ferrari and the options are the 550 and the 599 (456 is a bit too far on the running costs appetite for me, despite its beauty). Right now, the 550 is winning but I am still seduced by the 599's engine and the shorter overhangs on the bodywork (I find the short wheelbase on the 550 somewhat awkward styling-wise). But the virtues of the 550 are winning me over, and you captured those virtues repeatedly in this video. What a special car the 550 is, before Ferrari became a caricature of Lamborghini.

Having completed more than double your mileage (I don't have multiple cars to shuffle between), I have to agree very closely with most of what you say...including my love of the bonnet scoop: What a signature from head-on, and to know that it is 100% functional just adds to the sense that LdM, M Sch, Ramachotti, and co got most things right...and very few wrong. BTW, I wasn't able to find the link to Rudolph's book...which I will likely be ordering. Many thanks again.
