SOMO

Understanding the F355 Â  Making its debut in 1994, the Ferrari F355 Berlinetta was the successor to the 348. Powered by a 3.5 Liter 380 HP V8 with a revolutionary 5 valves per cylinder, mirroring that of F1 engines at the time, the F355 was a large departure from its predecessor. Although the two share a basic structure, it is quite a step forward from the 348. Not just in performance, but aerodynamics and ergonomics as well. Introduced in 1995 were two additional variants of the F355: the F355 spider and the F355 GTS. The F355 spider was a full convertible variant of the 355 with a partially powered folding soft top. Weighing only 130 lb more than the Berlinetta, Ferrari produced 3,720 355 spiders from 1995 to 1999, with just 1,053 of those being F1 transmission variants. The F355 was truly revolutionary for Ferrari; it established a laundry list of firsts for the company that we still see in Ferrari vehicles today. It was the first project for the newly appointed CEO Luca di Montezemolo, who wanted to change the makers direction to improve manufacturing techniques and build quality. It was the first Ferrari to use Venturi tunnels on the underbelly of the car to help generate downforce, the first road-going Ferrari to use 5 valves per cylinder, and perhaps most notably, the first Ferrari available with a paddle shift gearbox. Introduced for the 1997 model year, not only was this the first Ferrari road car with the technology, it was the first road car on Earth to feature paddle shifters. This gearbox shifting system was not only revolutionary for Ferrari but the greater automotive industry as a whole. A technology so revolutionary, that every sports car manufacturer from Porsche to Bugatti uses the Ferrari paddle shift design today.Â  Interestingly, the car's name changed depending on the gearbox equipped. F355 is the name of the car with the standard clutch pedal manual. However, if the F1 transmission was optioned, the name of the car changed to 355 F1. To celebrate the end of F355 production in 1999, a special edition variant of the F355 spider was introduced: the Serie Fiorano Spider. As the name would imply, all Serie Fiorano Spiders were only available as a convertibles. Production was officially limited to just 100 units, although Ferrari produced 104 in total, shipping the additional four cars to Europe, Asia, and South Africa, while remaining exclusive to the US market in an officially capacity. One of the major upgrades that the Serie Fiorano received was to the F1 gearbox. Although available in both manual and F1, the F1-spec car benefits from faster shift times both up and down, through software and mechanical tweaks. Elsewhere, the car was improved with a different handling package that included tweaks to the suspension and the suspension ECU, allowing the car to sit half an inch lower. From the exterior perspective, the car is nearly identical to non-Serie Fiorano counterparts, other than being just slightly lowered. However, in the interior, it is easy to spot Serie Fiorano cars because of their plaque denoting the production number out of 100. Additionally, the center console is made of carbon fiber, and the steering wheel is alcantara covered, both exclusive to the Fiorano spider. Scuderia fender shields and a Challenge Grille were standard fitment on the Fiorano Spiders, both of which were only options on base-model 355s.
