Ferrari F355, 355 F1

The Ferrari F355 was launched in May 1994 to take over from the Ferrari 348. Using a V8 engine enlarged to 3.5litres, and given 5valves per cylinder (hence 3 5 5), the F355 was a much quicker car than either the 348 or the 512 Testarossa. Pininfarina styling continued the Testarossa cues, but softened and tamed with no side strakes leading to the rear radiators. Available either as closed Berlinetta or targa-top GTS, the F355 was offered as a Spider from 1995. In 1997 a Series II F355 was produced, visually little changed but with many engineering changes and optional 'flappy paddle' gears on the 355 F1 model.
