Reviewed a 1999 Ferrari 550 on Jul 25, 2022

The 550 is the ultimate front V12 Ferrari for the reason it was the LAST of the driver-oriented V12s- before the flappy paddle, 800 hp arms race took over. A stock 550, modified with safety equipment, set the World Speed Record for a production car in 1998 (www.550wsr.com) and NO Ferrari would now try to equal a full hour at top speed! Ferrari is now a publicly traded company and a player in the game of building Icona cars on 812 production lines- leaving their best customers hanging...while Wall Street relishes the revenue from $2.5 million toys.
