Some Interesting Ferrari F355 Berlinetta Facts
The First Ferrari with a 5-Valve Per Cylinder Engine – The F355’s 3.5-liter V8 featured five valves per cylinder, increasing airflow and efficiency, resulting in 375 hp at 8,250 rpm.
0-100 km/h in Just 4.7 Seconds – The F355 Berlinetta could accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 4.7 seconds, with a top speed of 295 km/h (183 mph), making it one of Ferrari’s fastest cars of the 1990s.
First Ferrari with an F1-Style Paddle-Shift Transmission – In 1997, Ferrari introduced the F1 electrohydraulic automated manual transmission, derived from Formula 1 technology, making the F355 the first road-going Ferrari with paddle shifters.
Aerodynamically Improved Over the 348 – The F355 was designed with a more refined aerodynamic shape, featuring a smoother underbody and an integrated rear diffuser, significantly improving stability at high speeds.
Available in Three Body Styles – The F355 was offered in three versions:Berlinetta (Coupe) – The most rigid and best-performing version. GTS – Targa-top variant with a removable roof panel. Spider – Full convertible for open-top driving.
Significantly More Powerful Than Its Predecessor (Ferrari 348) – The F355 produced 375 hp, a huge increase over the 348’s 300 hp, due to its higher-revving engine and better intake/exhaust design.
Featured an Advanced Exhaust System with Variable Back Pressure – The F355 used an innovative exhaust system, which adjusted back pressure dynamically to optimize power and sound, resulting in one of the best-sounding Ferrari V8s ever.
The Last Ferrari Hand-Assembled in Maranello – The F355 was one of the last Ferraris to be mostly hand-built, before Ferrari transitioned to more automated production techniques in later models.
One of Ferrari’s Best-Selling Models of the 1990s – Ferrari produced over 11,200 units of the F355, making it one of the most successful models of its time.
Replaced by the Ferrari 360 Modena in 1999 – The F355 was succeeded by the 360 Modena, which introduced a lighter aluminum chassis and a more modern aerodynamic design, but many enthusiasts still prefer the raw driving experience of the F355.
