About this car
The Ferrari F355 Spider, introduced in 1995 as the convertible variant of the F355 Berlinetta, was produced until 1999. Approximately 3,717 units of the Spider were built, making it a relatively rare model compared to other Ferraris of the era. It features a 3.5-liter V8 engine, delivering 375 horsepower at 8,250 RPM, paired with either a 6-speed manual transmission or an optional F1-style electrohydraulic paddle-shift gearbox, one of the first of its kind in a road car. Performance highlights include a 0-60 mph time of around 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 183 mph.
For exotic car collectors, the F355 Spider holds appeal due to its rarity, especially in manual transmission form, as fewer than 30% of units were equipped with it. Its value has appreciated in recent years, with well-maintained examples often fetching between $80,000 and $150,000 at auctions, depending on condition and provenance. The model is historically significant as one of the last Ferraris to feature a naturally aspirated V8 with a high-revving character before the brand shifted toward larger displacement engines. Special editions or low-mileage examples are particularly sought after in the collector market.

The Ferrari F355 GTS, produced between 1995 and 1999, is a mid-engine sports car that represents a pivotal model in Ferrari’s history, bridging the gap between the 348 and the later 360.

The GTS features a removable targa top, offering a blend of open-air driving and structural rigidity, appealing to collectors seeking versatility in a classic Ferrari design.
Powered by a 3.5-liter V8 engine with five valves per cylinder, the F355 GTS delivers 375 horsepower at 8,250 RPM, achieving 0-60 mph in about 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 183 mph. It was offered with a 6-speed manual transmission or the innovative F1-style automated manual gearbox, one of the first of its kind in a production Ferrari. For exotic car collectors, the F355 GTS holds value due to its rarity, especially in manual transmission form, with well-maintained examples seeing steady appreciation in recent years.
