Ferrari 575M Maranello

Engineering

Compared to the 550, there was a new interior, larger brake discs, a bigger engine, better weight distribution, and refined aerodynamics. The adaptive suspension is also controlled by the transmission to reduce pitching during gear changes. The 65-degree V12 features dry-sump lubrication, four valves per cylinder, a bore of 89 mm, and a stroke of 77 mm; it produces 515 PS at 7250/min and 588 Nm at 5250/min.

The F1 transmission

Both six-speed transmissions utilized the same single-clutch gearbox assembly, but the electro-hydraulic actuation of the F1 system made it 50 percent faster: 200 milliseconds instead of 300. With the F1 transmission, acceleration to 100 km/h is quoted at 4.2 seconds, with the manual requiring an additional 0.05 seconds. The system cost an extra 10,000 US dollars on a new car. Only 246 of the 2056 cars featured a manual transmission.

GTC package

From 2005 onward, the GTC package was available with Ferrari's fourth carbon-ceramic brake system made of carbon-fiber-reinforced silicon carbide from Brembo, following the Challenge Stradale, F430, and Enzo. The discs measure 15.7 inches at the front with six-piston calipers, and 14.2 inches at the rear with four-piston calipers. Added to this were more sportingly tuned suspension, an exhaust system with reduced backpressure, and bespoke 19-inch wheels.

Superamerica

Introduced in 2005, the Superamerica features an electrochromic glass roof with a carbon-fiber structure developed in collaboration with French glass specialist Saint-Gobain. It rotates backward on a single axis over the trunk, which remains accessible even with the roof open. The engine received the more powerful F133 G tune producing 540 PS, with Ferrari advertising it as the world's fastest convertible at 199 mph. Only 43 of the 559 cars had a manual gearbox.
