The Ferrari F355 is an italian sports car produced by the manufacturer of Maranello since 1994 to replace the Ferrari 348.

It was presented for the first time at the 1994 Geneva Motor Show in a coupe version, the Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, and a targa version named Ferrari F355 GTS priced at $ 130.000.
Both were equiped by a 3.5 litre V8 engine with 5-valve per cylinder which can develop 375 hp and a max torque of 363 Nm, enough to go from 0-100 Km/h in only 4,7 seconds with a top speed of over 295 Km/h.

Initially the Ferrari F 355 was fitted by a 6-speed manual trasmission, but in the 1997 was launched a 6-speed electrohydraulic semiautomatic shift derived from the Formula 1 experience that gives the F355 the F1 sigle.

The design was entirely made by Pininfarina and includes retractable headlights, 18-inch wheels and seats from Connolly Leather.

In the 1995 debuted the Ferrari F355 Spider, the first Ferrari with a semi-automatic electronic soft-top made, and produced with the manual trasmission (2.664 units made) or the F1 option (1.053 examples).

The same year was introduced a race ready version called Ferrari F355 Challenge to compete in the Ferrari Challenge Championship. It shares the same engine performance of the standard one but includes competition clutch, new exhausts, a carbon fiber rear wing, new Brembo brakes and a black rear grille. It was produced in 180 units only.

In march 1999 was introduced a limited edition of only 100 cars, the Ferrari F355 Serie Fiorano, with many innovations like a new suspension pack, a thicker anti-roll bar and a lot of carbon-fibre insert.

The production of the Ferrari F355 ends in 1999, when Ferrari introduced the Ferrari 360 Modena, with 11.273 car made in 5 years.
