Ferrari 575 Maranello specs

I like this car

Sport Auto, 2002

0-60 mph and 0-100 kph is both 4.2 seconds? That doesn't look right

Good catch, Lello75.
This is why I love this website.
Folks seeing rare cars.
And congratulations on taking these photos of this wonderful car - the Ferrari 575 Maranello.
I love those side gills!

Safe driving to you from Flt158,

Just seen a black one hidden in a Grand Hotel parking, its quite short!
The file is screenshotted since the original was 47mb.

335 km/h! What year (edition) was the AMuS test?

Although it is technically a competitor to the Lamborghini Murciélago, I have a very hard time believing this car can even do 0-300 in less than 45 seconds, let alone 36.1. That time is literally Porsche Carrera GT, Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren, and Ford GT territory. Even the Murciélago doesn't really hit 300 in much less than 40 either. As long as the car has good aerodynamics and a decent downforce setup, along with a medium weight figure (not too light or too heavy), I tend to use 0-200 and top speed as the benchmarks for a true 0-300 time.

If this car does 0-200 in 13.5, and the Murciélago does it in 12.5 (sorry, but I don't believe any mag that reported any less than that), and this one does 325 and the other does 330, then surely, 13.5/.325 = 41.5, and 12.5/.330 = 37.8. To be honest, 13.5 from 0-200 is quite a stretch for this car (Ferrari's horsepower ratings tend to be with very high octane fuel as opposed to Lamborghini's because its customer cars don't match the performance of its press cars), so let's make the 0-200 14.5 or even 15-flat; the 0-300 now should be ~45-flat+/-, depending on the driver's skill and if the car reached 300 in fifth gear or not. That 45-second time could even be 0-290, making the 0-300 around 50.

So there ya(=you) have it folks:
0-100 around 4.5
0-200 around 14.75
0-300 around 50

A base C6 Corvette has the same acceleration from 0-200 (possibly 0-250), but the 0-300 should be around 60 seconds with a stick and 70 with an auto before it stops there.

Just an FYI, even the 55 AMG Kompressor passenger car models of this era (especially the E55, CLS55, and SL55) were equally as fast, if not faster, than this Ferrari model. And guess what, they still won't do 0-300 in 36.1 seconds.

The top speed was unexpected

Best looking early 2000s Ferrari hands down!

In direct comparison, the 575 is only a little faster than the 550. The performance is obviously good for its time, but I only see little reason to take this over the predecessor.

Imola (standing start):
Fiat Bravo - 3:08
Ferrari 575M - 2:37
Ferrari Formula 1 car - 1:44

Never thought a front-engined Ferrari could look pretty but the Maranello is a beautiful, beautiful car. So elegant in design, forget the boxy Ferraris from the 80s, this one is the true timeless design!

0-150 mph: 22.1

And I think it looks great too. Maybe better than 612 or F12. Not that 612 or F12 look bad, but still, this is a pretty car.

What a car ! That sound is incredible and car pushes like crazy.

Lol..x...xx.x... At the beginning it sounded like a used 6.0L Pontiac GTO (the ignition), and then revving the engine and switching gears it has the yelling usually reserved for F1 or LMP cars at racetracks.

Definetly, A Tuned Ferrari V12 with a Manual, One of the best sounds ever. Althoug saying that, Ive always thpught Ferrari manual shifters were very dainty, I SHift quite vigorously, And every time i have been in a Ferrari, Ive always very carefull, Seems like they would just pop, That and the cars arent mine-_-

Yes! Its amazing. Too bad the camera had crappy microphone and couldn't pick up the whole range of the sound.

But it is one amazing sound!

Love that car.

REMEMBER:
CAR AND DRIVER (12/2002)

0-40 mph_2.4 s
0-60 mph_4.2 s
0-80 mph_6.7 s
0-100 mph_9.8 s
0-120 mph_13.5 s
0-150 mph_22.1 s
1/4-Mile_12.6 s @ 116 mph

Not a lot of difference with the 550.

you´re numbers for Ferraris are very optimistic.

@ddd: LOL, You and me, both, dude. :D

...Like that's surprising..

I want one :)...gimme :D

Fantastic car.
