An Evolution of the Ferrari 550 Maranello – The Ferrari 575M was introduced in 2002 as an upgraded version of the Ferrari 550, with improved performance, technology, and styling. The "M" stands for Modificata, meaning "modified" in Italian.
Powered by a Larger 5.75L V12 Engine – The 575M featured a 5.75-liter naturally aspirated V12, producing 515 hp (vs. 485 hp in the 550 Maranello), making it Ferrari’s most powerful front-engined GT at the time.
First Ferrari V12 GT with an F1 Paddle-Shift Transmission – The 575M was the first front-engined Ferrari grand tourer to offer an optional "F1" automated manual transmission, taken from Ferrari’s Formula 1 technology.
0-100 km/h in Just 4.2 Seconds – Thanks to its increased power and refined aerodynamics, the 575M could accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 4.2 seconds, with a top speed of 325 km/h (202 mph).
More Luxurious and Driver-Friendly Interior – Compared to the 550 Maranello, the 575M featured a revised interior with upgraded materials, an updated dashboard, and improved ergonomics.
Adjustable Suspension for Better Handling – The 575M introduced an electronically adjustable suspension system, allowing drivers to switch between sportier and more comfortable ride settings.
Ferrari 575 GTC – The Racing Version – Ferrari built a 575 GTC race car for FIA GT competitions, featuring a 6.0-liter V12, extreme aerodynamics, and reduced weight, making it a serious track machine.
The 575M Superamerica – The Limited-Edition Convertible – Ferrari introduced the 575M Superamerica in 2005, featuring a retractable electrochromic glass roof and an upgraded 540 hp V12 engine, with only 559 units produced.
Designed by Pininfarina – The 575M was styled by the famous Italian design house Pininfarina, maintaining the classic Ferrari GT proportions with a long hood and sleek bodywork.
Replaced by the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano in 2006 – After a successful production run, the 575M was replaced by the 599 GTB, which introduced a more aggressive design, an Enzo-derived V12 engine, and advanced aerodynamics.

The 575M Maranello is the last front-engine V12 Ferrari with a manual transmission, blending 5.7L NA power (515hp) with timeless Pininfarina styling.
