1994-1999 Ferrari F355 GTS

With the F355 everything was about making it faster and easier to handle. The exterior design - signed again by Pininfarina - got extreme aerodynamic features, but in the same time it featured aesthetically rounded edges combined in beautiful new forms. At the front was a reverse elliptical grille flanked by indicator lenses and supplementary driving lights, F355’s having been the last Ferrari to feature retractable headlights.

On the sides there was a pair of bare air intakes, while at the rear the rear wings were merged masterfully into a tightly wrapped tail and were improving the improving high-speed stability. The Prancing Horse logo was also dominating the car’s rear.

For the ones who wanted an even more sportier F355 Ferrari was also offering a Fiorano handling package that included a dropped ride-height, firmer springs and dampers and wider track. Besides that customers could also choose between a Challenge meshed rear grille, Sports seats with four-point harnesses and from 1997, the F1 transmission.

But maybe the most impressive change on the F355 was the engine. It was a 90° 3,5 liter V8 engine, positioned longitudinally in a mid-mounted configuration, with five valve cylinder heads. The engine developed a total of 380bhp at 8250rpm, or 109bhp per liter. With a weight of only 1350 kg, the F355 sprinted from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, with a top speed of 185mph. The F355 was 7 seconds faster round Fiorano than the 348 and a 4 quicker than the 512 TR.
