A rare 1997 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta, originally a European-market car, has recently made its way to the U.S. and is now available for sale. The F355 Berlinetta, showing approximately 65,000 kilometers (~41,000 miles), is finished in the iconic Rosso Corsa with a black Connolly leather interior. Powering this classic Italian sports car is a 3.5-liter DOHC V8 engine, paired with a gated six-speed manual transaxle and limited-slip differential. Known for its high-revving V8, the engine delivers 375 horsepower and 268 lb-ft of torque, ensuring the signature Ferrari driving experience.
The Pininfarina-designed body stands out with timeless features like pop-up headlights, side air intakes, and the Scuderia Ferrari fender shields. Its 18″ five-spoke magnesium wheels, recently repainted, add to the car’s stunning look, and are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires. The sport seats are trimmed in black Connolly leather, extending across the dashboard and center console, creating a classic yet sporty cabin feel. Additional interior features include drilled aluminum pedals, a gated shifter, and a stereo sourced from a later Ferrari model.
While the car’s front bumper was repainted and some interior refinements were made in preparation for sale, the blend door motor for the climate control remains stuck on the defroster setting. Despite this, the car remains in excellent condition, with a recent engine-out belt service performed in 2022, and additional maintenance in March 2024 that included new spark plugs and ignition wires.
Offered with an owner’s manual, service booklet, tool kit, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Oregon title, this Ferrari F355 Berlinetta is being sold at no reserve. It’s a rare opportunity to own a piece of Ferrari’s mid-engine V8 legacy, a true classic for any collector or driving enthusiast.
