When the Ferrari 550 Maranello first broke cover it seemed destined for a life in GT racing, and privateers ranging from Italtecnica to Prodrive jumped at the chance to build their own racers. But it wasn’t until 2002 that Ferrari itself got in on the act. Based on the up-rated 575 M and built by the Alfa Romeo-affiliated European Touring Car Championship team N.Technology, just two examples of the factory-backed 550 GTC were created—the first “even chassis number” V-12 race cars since the 512 M.
Now, one of these phenomenal racers is up for sale, a veteran of the 2003 FIA GT Championship and a legend of the Italian Speed Hill Climb Championship. To mark the occasion, we took the magnificent V-12 grand tourer for a full-blooded drive around the Cremona Circuit in Italy. Join us for the ride.
