Ferrari 550 Maranello: V12 Perfection | Catchpole on Carfection
Having looked at the Ferrari 365 GTB/4 (otherwise known as the Daytona) in the first film (see it here ua-cam.com/video/yFj5nAgtNBk/v-deo.html ) , this time it’s the turn of the 550 Maranello. Once again, it was sourced by Bell Sport & Classic and seeing the two cars parked up outside their showroom I was surprised that the 550 didn’t look vastly bigger than the Daytona given the decades between them. To my eyes it’s not as attractive as the earlier front-engined, V12 supercar, but as soon as you get into the Maranello it is obvious how much things moved on between 1973 and 1996.
The whole interior is vastly better laid out and the car feels smaller and more intimate as a result. Get going and the 550 immediately feels possessed of a totally different level of performance, too - right up there with more modern machinery, in fact. It might have ‘only’ 478bhp and 420lb ft of torque (131bhp and 102lb ft up on the Daytona but 134bhp and 141lb ft down on the current junior Ferrari, the Roma) but the 550’s 5.5-litre V12 has an incredible muscularity and flexibility to it. I was genuinely stunned by just how strong it feels.
Like the Daytona, the Maranello has wishbones all round with anti-roll bars front and rear. However, the trick up the 550’s more modern wheel arches is the electronically controlled variable dampers. There are only two options, Normal and Sport, but the change in character when the firmer setting is selected is noticeable and welcome. It’s still not that firm by 2022 standards, but with a bit of extra support and control in the corners the 550 really comes alive, feeling as playful and easy to drive as an M2 CS. The fact that you can currently get one for similar money to the BMW makes it an absolute bargain in my eyes.
The Daytona is undoubtedly the more iconic car, but I think we have a huge amount to thank the 550 Maranello for. It successfully brought back the front-engined V12 Ferrari supercar at a time when mid-engined really seemed to be the only way forward. Without the huge success of the 550 we wouldn’t have had the 599, F12 and 812 Superfast and I think the motoring landscape would be a slightly poorer place as a result.

    This is a great Promo Film. Everything LandRover did is mentioned as very positive. Even things no Defender drives cares about. 0-60 times for example. But sadly nothing, absolutely nothing about its shortcomings for actual use are mentioned. 1) None of the big expedition and overlanding companies make good kit for this car. ARB, Oztent, QuickPitch, AluCab... where is the kit you need to do actual overlanding? They don't offer because the Defender is too complicated and not useful for actual gear. 2) The not so great reliability so far. These cars go off-road, because they ARE off the actual road in a mechanics shop a lot. 3) 20" or 18" wheels... what a horrible choice for overlanding. 4) This car can not be towed for a longer time, because it is only allowed for a couple of miles 4) Who is going to serve this computer anywhere but Western Europe, the USA or the major cities like CapeTown? NOBODY. Mechanics shops not related to LandRover will not even touch this thing I would have wished this great movie would have been a little non biased

    That steep slope killed it for me completely... You sit in the car, push a bunch of buttons and have the car drive itself downhill with you in it. No soul, no driving... That's what LandRover killed. Not just the Defender, but the desire to go overlanding in a LandRover...

    Not being an engineer I do remember reading years ago, actually decades ago, vaguely that in aircraft industry design during the Second World War the term 'monocoque' was used when a flat steel sheet was 'stretched' or put under tension and then stamped to produce the part. The idea was that this increased the strength of the stamped part. Does anyone know if this is correct, or does the term simply refer to a type of unibody, stamped or otherwise? Thanks.

This car with its interesting front end stood out among the other cars sold there including a Mark 10 jaguar, and bunches of triumph and MG Sports cars I still prefer the original single headlight front end, but this is also so beautiful. Thank you so much!

    The original E types are not fun to drive? That is some serious Resto modification propaganda 😂 I have no issue with modifying a car like the series 3 E Type to make it more usable, particularly given it was not the sports car that the series one and two fixed head coupe and convertibles were, but saying the latter are not fun to drive is a serious injustice. Nothing gives you the feel, feedback, and connection to driving like an original 50s and 60s proper sports car. If one is disappointed by the performance and driving experience of an E Type, the car doesn’t belong in that person‘s hands in the first place.
