From 0 to 100 km/h (approx. 62 mph) in 4.2 Seconds
The Ferrari 575M Maranello was launched in 2002 as the successor to the legendary 550 Maranello and was an improvement in every respect: more power, better aerodynamics, and advanced technology. With only 2,056 units produced with a manual gearbox, its exclusivity is undeniable, and it became a coveted object for Ferrari collectors.

It was introduced in 2007 and went into production in 2008. It is the successor to the Vanquish S and a more aggressive version of the DB9. Its production was limited to 3,400 units, securing its status as an exclusive vehicle.
