Ferrari Rossa by Pinifarina 

There have been a lot of special Ferraris throughout the years, some more interesting than others, but basically all extremely valuable among collectors. The one-of-one Rossa wasn’t entirely built by Ferrari as it started out in life as a 550 Maranello before Pininfarina worked its magic to turn it into a retro-flavoured speedster.Created to celebrate the design house’s 70th anniversary, the Rossa is technically a concept car and as such, it can’t be legally driven on public roads, but bear in mind it’s entirely functional. Pininfarina kept the car up until 2007 and then eventually sold it and now it’s in a private collection among other amazing prancing horses, including the legendary F40. Pininfarina not only changed the shape and styling of the 550 Maranello, but it also modified the interior to harken back to the old days. I are not particularly fond of the screen mounted on the centre console, but perhaps I are just nitpicking. Like the donor car, the one-off Rossa has kept the lovely gated shifter of the manual gearbox while replacing the dials and steering wheels with something a bit more retro. The styling might not be for everyone, although there’s no doubt it’s an interesting concept. As you may recall, the folks from Maranello launched a special car similar in philosophy with Pininfarina’s Rossa, the Monza SP2 speedster set to go into limited production. Together with the single-seater Monza SP1, these two are part of a Icona series, so you can rest assured there are going to be more prancing horses that’ll look back at the company’s illustrious past.

Ferrari 550 Sperimentale, 2001. Internally designated the F133, this 550 Maranello was first built in 1996 and used as a development car for the production model. Looking to harken back to the Ferrari racing cars of the ’50s and ’60s, it was fitted with a side exhaust which offered an increase in performance through the use of larger diameter, free-flowing components. To do so, Ferrari stretched the car’s wheelbase by 200 mm over the standard 550 Maranello (2,500 mm). The absence of a normal exhaust within the floor pan allowed room to stiffen the chassis with the installation of up to two additional cross members. This made the chassis 10% stiffer than those in regular-production 550 Maranellos, despite its longer wheelbase. In an effort to keep the same visual proportions, the added length was addressed by moving the cowl back and lengthening the hood and front fenders. Unlike most manufacturer's prototypes this one found its way onto the open market and was sold at auction in 2017 for €287,500.
